Rating:  - Contains essentials
Contains all the essential information and a little bit more but not much more. Over all a pretty good starter book.
Rating:  - Wasn't helpful for me - nothing about design and weak coverage of components.
I'm a Java programmer who finished reading O'Reilly's "Programming C#" (very good book), and wanted to get started in Windows Forms programming. Chapters 1 and 2 were decent and Appendix B was an excellent introduction to Delegates and Events.

Rating:  - Would have written my own review, but...
"...I had hoped it would be a convenient and quick reference to such questions as "how do I use FolderBrowserDialog and/or OpenFileDialog to open a file in my C# program?" but although these standard components are indexed in the book the discussion of them in the book is shorter than this review I am writing. What I would want is some kind of sample code, maybe a step-by-step description of how to add the components to my program..."
There's no way I could have said it better. The book seems ... Read More
