Q: 

Creating vista style controls in .NET

A: 

To get the really cool dialogs like provided in the UAC you need to some native calls. www.pinvoke.net is a great resource for this information.

Update: These are all really good examples for TaskDialog.

Thanks dude after I posted I also found the "API in Managed Code" one, looks great, and www.wintaskdialog.com also looks good and the difference there is they draw a vista 'mock' dialog if you are on XP or lower, which is kinda nice. But you pay for it of course.

Just to let everyone know which one I went with: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/vista/Vista_TaskDialog_Wrapper.aspx. Simple, elegant and lightweight which is important for WinXP emulation when included in other apps.
