Vb2010: enquiry about any predefined structures for making a big GUI

[softhard]

Hello,
Recently, i switched my work to VB.Net for making a GUI. Before, i used to work with LabVIEW and i am very new to .net. I am working on making GUI i VB.Net. I wonder are there any existing procedures for building up a GUI like in other softwares. My GUI construction is involved in controling and managing serial devices.


Is there any existing structure in VB 2010 to follow in process of making this GUI.

"Like in other softwares" is pretty much non-existant, since pretty much only Labview gives you complex pre-made GUI elements or templates... In any "standard" programming language you have to build these elements yourself. Before that though, you need to define what exactly you need to show on screen, where you will get that information from, in which format, how often it should update, etc. After it's all designed on paper, then you start writing code.
