Web Server Controls, Custom or

I'm relatively new to ASP .NET. While using all of the existing Web server controls available in the VS Designer I find myself wondering where are the fancy controls you see on some of the public web sites, such as Buttons with rounded corners, Tabbed pages, menus, etc. Do they have to be created as Custom Controls using the GDI ? Where does Dreamweaver fall into this issue? I have seen a few articles talking about the new version of Dreamweaver being used with .NET. Could anyone point me in the right direction to find out about using or creating these controls.
Thanks

Well dreamweaver is nothing but an editor, which means just like FrontPage, or any other text editor that supports asp.net tags.

Alot of the controls you are looking for are freely available. the microsoftInternet Explorer Controls for example, which include tab, treeview etc. Same goes for menus like theskmMenu and my own favorite theexcentrics world controls. All of these are free and can easily be put on your page.
Thanks to all, especially the links to all of the controls. Very Helpful !

Web Service Custom Installer / Action / Virtual Directory

Taking a page from the book of Great Ebay Auction Titling, I've jammed most of the relevent key words into my subject in hopes that someone out there who has a definitive answer to my question will notice this post.

This is not exactly a 'Getting Started' sort of a question, so please forgive me if I decided to post my plea for help in a highly trafficked area after witnessing multiple unanswered posts on this same topic in various other forums.

Does anybody out there have any idea how to customize a setup project so that it creates a virtual directory at the location of my choosing and subsequently installs my web application there?

Or perhaps someone knows how to programmatically configure IIS in general using only the classes provided in the CLR?

I don't want to install under the wwwroot directory, and reconfiguring IIS on the server to which I am deploying before I install my application is not an acceptible solution. The idea here is to create a deployment package that automates the IIS configuration process so that it can be run without user intervention.

The setup packages for the IBuySpy Portal and Store applications create and configure the virtual directories for their applications, and yet I can find no clear example of how to accomplish this.

If someone can help me with this, I will gladly write a comprehensive article on the topic and post it on every site that will let me. I've seen multiple posts on this topic that are over a year old and still have no response at all.

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?Hi,
