How to add Metro UI tools to Visual Studio (include the download link)

Hi everyone! I am Kimliang. Today I want to teach you how to add Metro UI to Visual Studio Project. When we want to build a system or windows application, we will need to design the interface better look. Interface is really important for users and it gives the users feel comfortable. So now you can do following the steps like below:

Step 1: Download  and Extract Metro UI file.

Step 2: Create a new VB or C# Project or you can open your exist project then go to PROJECT menu and choose  Add Reference...


Step 3: Click on Browse button 

Step 4: Find .dll files of Metro UI that you downloaded and extracted from above. Select all files and click Add button.

Step 5: Click OK button

Step 6: In the Toolbox panel right click on any tool and click on Choose items...

Step 7: Click on Browse button
Step 8: Select a file name MetroFramework.dll from file you downloaded and click Open button.

Step 9: Click on OK button to finish.
Finally you will get Metro Tool in Toolbox panel. So you can enjoy with your beautiful windows application any times. Below I just add some metro tool to the form.
You can try to design any pretty style UI by yourself .
*But, if you want to change the form style do following below:
1. In the Solution Explorer, expanse the Form1.vb > from1
2. Click on components As IContainer
3. Change a line from    Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form to Inherits MetroFramework.Forms.MetroForm
4. Press Ctrl+S to Save

5. Go back to Form1.vb [Design] you will get the result like below.
