Executive Summary

Great book on understanding and customizing Windows Forms! Quoting the book’s foreward given by Shawn Burke, Development Manager, Windows Forms Team, Microsoft Corporation:

Matthew MacDonald … has built a great resource for developers using Windows Forms to create great, rich applications. Whether the goal is to write components for internal use or a full application, this book will help you get there and deliver great results.

Mr. Burke goes on to say:

The practical, task-based approach, of Pro .NET 2.0 Windows Forms and Custom Controls in C# allows it to cover a wide range of Windows Forms topics, but still provide the technical depth to help developers deliver features. While many other resources read more like technical reference docs, Pro .NET 2.0 Windows Forms and Custom Controls in C# does an excellent job of filtering the information down to what developers really need to harness the power and innovations of Windows Forms 2.0 to deliver truly world-class client applications.

I couldn’t agree more with Mr. Burke. Since I’ve had the book, there hasn’t been a day gone by that I haven’t found at least one answer to my WinForms problems.
