What is Visual Basic Power Pack?

NET first appeared, it was missing many features that developers had found extremely useful in Visual Basic 6. Power Packs were invented to provide objects and tools to fill the need for these missing features and to make programming easier and more productive in general.

But you can still install it from here. This is the latest version and works in Visual Studio 2017 as well.
