Professional Windows GUI Programming Using C#

Although web programming has been the hot topic in recent years, Windows programming is undergoing something of a rejuvenation under .NET. This is partly because web services allow us to take advantage of the Internet even in Windows applications, but it's also a belated recognition that Windows programs offer a much richer experience to the user than browser-based applications. This book provides a concise but in-depth guide to writing programs in the Windows environment using C#. The emphasis is firmly on GUI programming, but important related areas are also covered.

The book covers:

- Creating Windows applications in C# with and without Visual Studio .NET

- Using the Windows Forms classes and controls

- Advanced data binding

- Handling user input

- Drawing with GDI+

- Printing

- Creating custom controls

- Multi-threaded programming in .NET

- Deploying Windows applications
