MS Power Packs adds pre-.NET Visual Basic components back to versions of Visual Basic older than 2005.
The Microsoft Visual Basic Power Pack 3.0 component adds back to VB (versions 2005 and higher) a set of controls that were available in pre-.NET versions of VB (i.e. VB6) but removed in the first versions of VB.NET (2002 / 2003). Included in the power pack are the basic shape controls (line, oval, and rectangle), a PrintForm component, and the DataRepeater control.
