Product Description:
Although web programming has been the hot topic in recent years, Windows programming is undergoing something of a rejuvenation under .NET. This is partly because web services allow us to take advantage of the Internet even in Windows applications, but it's also a belated recognition that Windows programs offer a much richer experience to the user than browser-based applications. This book provides a concise but in-depth guide to writing programs in the Windows environment using C#. The emphasis is firmly on GUI programming, but important related areas are also covered.
The book covers:
- Creating Windows applications in C# with and without Visual Studio .NET
- Using the Windows Forms classes and controls
- Advanced data binding
- Handling user input
- Drawing with GDI+
- Printing
- Creating custom controls
- Multi-threaded programming in .NET
- Deploying Windows applications

This is a excellent book for GUI programing with C#

This book lacks the depth that one would expect from the "Professional" series. Up to this point, I have found the Professional series of books to be quite a resource, as they usually provide information that you otherwise would not find through a cursory glance at the online documentation that Microsoft provides. I am a professional and I expect a professional level treatment of programming from this series. This book is a disappointment in this respect.
For example, there is a chapter covering the Windows common controls. The text merely describes the process for dropping each control on a form in the designer and setting a few properties, most of them obvious properties. For the complex controls, for example ListView and TreeView, very little information is provided. TreeView has about 2 pages of text if you drop out the two screen shots and more than 1/4 of that is an extremely simple code example. The ListView control has maybe 2 pages of text and a little less than ... Read More

If you've learned C# and you're ready to jump into Windows Forms, this is a great place start.
You start off by receiving an introduction to almost all of the Common Windows Controls. An in-depth look at how Databinding works and how you can implement databinding into your own controls. A pretty good introduction to GDI+ and drawing methods, which can be followed up with the book "GDI+ Programming: Creating Custom Controls Using C#" if you want to go into more detail.
The next chapter on Printing was a highlight for me. With little previous printing experience, it was a very helpful section. A nice relief too, to see that printing really is just drawing to printer instead of the screen. If you have GDI+ down, printing should be no problem.
Then the book moves on with a nice chapter on Custom Controls. A lot of great sample code in there to help illustrate what they are saying. Design Time support is highlighted upon too, to allow for reusable controls ... Read More
