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 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, it is refreshing to find a book that dives right into some real hard-core programming. This is, without a doubt the best and most useful C#/WinForms book I have ever read. I would suggest this book to be essential reading for very serious .NET WinForms developer who wants to work smarter instead of harder. - Serge Shimanovsky, Software Developer, Rueters Group PLC In this book, Chris Sells discusses how the Windows Forms classes and their supporting infrastructure can be used to write robust and rich smart client applications. If you're an experienced Windows programmer who has previously used MFC or directly utilized the Win32 API to write such applications, you will find Chris's direct delivery very appropriate for transferring your knowledge to the managed classes. If you're a developer with less Windows development experience, you'll find the treatment of core concepts in application UI programming indispensable. - From the foreword by Mike Blaszczack, Architect, SQL Server Data Warehousing, Microsoft I think this book does a great job of hitting a huge number of features - sometimes I forget how much there is to WinForms! - Chris Anderson, Software Architect, Microsoft Windows Forms teamProgramming Windows Forms in C# is the ultimate guide to using the Microsoft .NET forms package. Readers learn how to build smart client applications that take full advantage of both the rich user interface features of the Microsoft Windows operating system and the deployment features of HTML-basedProduct Identifiers
