Editorials
From Barnes & Noble
The Barnes & Noble ReviewErik Brown's Windows Forms Programming with C# has earned a powerful reputation among Windows developers moving to .NET. Windows Forms in Action builds on Brown's classic, adding extensive new .NET 2.0 content, along with new techniques for everything from security to deployment. It's the book for developers who want to learn fast and do the job right.
This renamed edition fits like a glove in Manning's In Action series, thanks to its focus on well-explained, realistic examples. One manageable concept at a time, Brown introduces menus, dialogs, reusable libraries, text boxes, buttons, user input, combo boxes, tab controls, progress bars, tool strips, and several other bells and whistles. Even if you don't have Windows Forms experience, Brown can teach you much more than the basics. In fact, there's a full section of advanced coverage, from custom controls and MDI to two-way binding.
