Book Reviews of Pro .NET 2.0 Windows Forms and Custom Controls in C#

Book Review: Awesome Reference for WinForms and Custom Controls
Summary: 5 Stars

This book has already paid for itself in just a couple of weeks -- due to the time saved in trying to find the information I need. Every time I have a question regarding an issue in Windows Forms or with Custom & User Controls, I can find it here. Additionally, the content is written in a manner that can be understood by mere mortals, with some good tips and tricks thrown in too.

Highly recommended.

On the merits of this text, I've already purchased Matthew MacDonald's WPF book (the 3.0 one, since I haven't *quite* moved to VS 2008 yet...).

Summary of Pro .NET 2.0 Windows Forms and Custom Controls in C#

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 we've added to Windows Forms 2.0.

- Shawn Burke, Development Manager, Windows Forms Team, Microsoft Corporation

Renowned author Matthew MacDonald combines careful treatment of the API with detailed user-interface design principles. Further, this book incorporates C# and the final beta of .NET 2.0. The result: thorough coverage of Windows Forms and GDI+ namespaces for you .NET programmers! You will become equipped to design state-of-the-art Windows interfaces and program graphics, and learn how to create your own controls.

As a developer, you must know more than just how to add a control to a window. You must be able to create an entire user interface framework that's scalable, flexible, and reusable. This book is not a reference manual. Instead, it contains detailed discussions about user interface elements that youll use on a regular basis.
