Windows Forms QuickStart
The Windows Forms QuickStart is a series of Windows Forms samples and supporting commentary designed to quickly acquaint you with the programming model, architecture, and power of Windows Forms. The samples are brief, easy-to-understand illustrations of Windows Forms features.
To use the Windows Forms QuickStart to full advantage, you should be familiar with object-oriented programming as well as concepts such as windows, controls, and menus. You should have experience building applications using Microsoft Windows or a similar graphical user interface (GUI) programming system. If you have experience building applications using the Win32 API, MFC, or the Visual Basic forms package, then you will quickly acquire an understanding of Windows Forms.
