Windows Forms book suggestions?
-
I am a C# programmer with mostly ASP.NET experience. I have done very little Win32 (WinForms) programming. Any suggestions for a good book on Windows Forms? I don't mean a general C# or .NET book, but one that specifically addresses the topic of Windows Forms.

I use this one at work, and it is pretty good. Edit: Sorry, just noticed you said not specifically for C#.
No, your answer is great - I don't want a VB book, I want a C# one. What I meant was I don't want a C# book on General .NET. I want a C# book written specifically for windows forms, and that's exactly what you found. Thanks

I use "Windows Forms Programming in C#" by Chris Sells....Excellent book. Theres a version for .NET 2.0 out now also. Hope that helps Mike

Definately this one: Windows Forms 2.0 Programming (2nd Edition) (Microsoft .NET Development Series) by Chris Sells and Michael Weinhardt[^]

I used Charles Petzolds book on Forms programming, but I am not very happy with it. It gives a very global overview and he refues to use the IDE functions, which are really great help when trying to create forms. Petzold gives a lot of attention to the use of panels. However, panels have serious disadvantages. For a more complex form with, say 10 controls, you need a lot of panels. This makes maintenance a hell. So I decided to stop using panels. Petzold gives very little attention to important but complex controls like listboxes and listviews. I think this very dissappointing.
