Rating:  - An excellent "go to" resource for WinForms development
After many years of scientific programming using C++ and MFC, I was looking for a book to help make the transition to application development using C#. The authors' treatment of fundamental concepts like dialogs, printing and background worker threads, complete with descriptive examples, continues to make this book extremely useful as a reference in new projects, and when porting legacy code to Windows Forms.
Appendices that deal with the differences between MFC and Windows Forms, as ... Read More
Rating: - Excellent book - honors the reader's intelligence
I am not a collector of C# books, although I have reviewed many tens of them before settling on two. Chris Sells' Windows Forms programming is one of them (Jesse Liberty's Programming C# is the other).
Chris does not hand-hold the reader through tediously simple explainations; as other reviewers have mentioned this is not the book to buy if you want photos of which button to click at every step. Instead he provides good high and medium level explanation of every common problem/situation ... Read More
Rating: - Terrific book which is still highly useful
Windows Presentation Foundation has been released and we will all immediately stop doing WinForms development and move to the latest and greatest technology. Right.

Rating: - An exceptional work
This book is great, exceptional, outstanding.
The authors take on a subject of mind-boggling complexity, and manage to structure their way into a readable, understandable explanation. It's not a reference book: you have to read your way through it from cover to cover, once, to gain an understanding of Froms 2.0. Yet such reading is probably the most efficient way for you to learn the subject. Thereafter, use it as a "how-to" reference for specific items and techniques.
Also, it assumes ... Read More
Rating: - Outstanding
The writing style is easy to follow, the coverage is comprehensive, and there are details and tips throughout the book that distinguish it from other books on the subject.
The authors clearly leverage their knowledge and experience. Sample code is clear and concise. There are many things in Windows Forms that you simply should or should not do; the authors convey these best practices in an expedient fashion.
The book is relatively new, and there is not an errata page on the AW ... Read More
