Normally when you are developing a windows based application, there are certain set of rules that can be followed for and effective presentation: 1) Always go for a parent-child window forms concept i.e. MDI windows, this will help you to connect the complete flow from single source. 2) Always try to minimize the number of window forms needed for one use, i.e., use only one form for one module for eg. if you are working on the User admin module of the app, wherein u can add and modify users, it is a better idea to put the data in grid and allow for modification/deletion/and addition in the grid itself, it will optimally use the available form space and will leave enuf room for future changes 3) Group related controls together using a group box for e.g. buttons together, and other fields togther. 4) Use same font and color settings thruout the app 5) Hide unnecessary details from the user.
