Description

Praise for Windows Forms Programming in C# “Chris may have a strong affinity for semi-colons, but anybody who’s programming Windows Forms needs to read this book.” — Brian Randell , Visual Basic Guru and DevelopMentor Instructor “Chris Sells has done it again. This book has everything a developer needs to know to write serious WinForms applications. Chris leaves no stone unturned in explaining the WinForms programming model and arming developers with the knowledge they need to show more exploit WinForms to the fullest. And, as if that weren’t enough, Chris’s writing style makes this book a page-turner for geeks. I couldn’t put it down! Until John Grisham gets the .NET religion, you won’t find a better WinForms book anywhere.” — Jeff Prosise , co-founder of Wintellect, author of Programming Microsoft .NET “Chris is clearly *the* expert on web deployment of WinForms. In this book, Chris explains this material clearly and the power of the technology really shows. Unlike other WinForms books, this manuscript takes a more practical approach to the use of programming tools, such as Visual Studio. Sells’s book strikes a nice balance between theory and practice. Windows Forms is an important technology that needs more press. Chris Sells’ book is in great position to be the definitive work on the emerging technology.” — Brian Graff , Sr. SW Engineer, PreEmptive Solutions, Inc. “Chris has written the best WinForms book around. Period.” — Pierre Nallet , DevelopMentor Instructor “Chris does a nice job of presenting the core elements of WinForms complete with many concise samples and graphic depictions of UI features in action. Even more compelling, however, is how Chris anticipates how most developers will want to use these features, and presents techniques and paradigms of usage that will be invaluable for any serious WinForms developer. This book is destined to become dog-eared in the hands anyone building WinForms applications.” — Fritz Onion , DevelopMentor instructor and author of Essential ASP.NET “I don’t want just a description of the WinForms widgets. I can get that online or from other books. What I want is a roadmap for pitfalls to avoid, and innovative solutions for common problems. That is where this book shines.” — Johan Ericcson , SW Engineer, Agilent “This is the definitive book for every Windows Programmer.” — Fumiaki Yoshimatsu , Sr. Engineer, Intoferia Corporation “After browsing through countless books that introduce me to Windows Forms basics,... show less
