Metro look in windows 8 is probably the best look ever in windows history, so today's tutorial will be on how we can get that metro look in our windows form application in vb.net.
Its pretty easy to get metro look, just follow the procedure given below.

Procedure to get Metro Style Look

1. First of all you need to download a MetroControls.DLL file which you can find here 
2. After downloading it, extract it. Now Create a new project if you haven't created yet or open your existing project in which you want the metro look.
3. Now Right Click your ToolBox, under the .Net Framework Components select Browse and browse the MetroControls.dll file which you have downloaded in step 1.

4. Now build your solution by hitting Ctrl+Shift+B on your keyboard and you can see some additional Controls have been added to your ToolBox.
5. That's it, now you can use all the metro controls in your entire project.
