To write code in Visual Basic

' include the Imports directive for the namespace
Imports C1.Win.C1Ribbon
 
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
    C1Ribbon1.Qat.Items.Add(New RibbonButton(My.Resources.Resources.save))
    C1Ribbon1.Qat.Items.Add(New RibbonButton(My.Resources.Resources.undo))
    C1Ribbon1.Qat.Items.Add(New RibbonButton(My.Resources.Resources.repeat))
End Sub

// include the using directive for the namespace
using C1.Win.C1Ribbon;
 
private void Form1_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    C1Ribbon1.Qat.Items.Add (new RibbonButton (Properties.Resources.save));
    C1Ribbon1.Qat.Items.Add (new RibbonSplitButton (Properties.Resources.undo));
    C1Ribbon1.Qat.Items.Add (new RibbonButton (Properties.Resources.repeat));
