Product DescriptionAlthough 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

Average Rating:
Rating: - Excellent book for GUI programming using C#
This is a excellent book for GUI programing with C#
Rating: - This is a very poor excuse for a professional book
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.
Rating: - Great Introduction to Wondows Forms
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.
