Winforms GUI / Design Guidelines
-
After 4 or 5 years in the ASP.NET world I'm about to embark on a new LOB WinForms application and I wondered what the current thinking was in terms of GUI design and implementation? Any suggestions? I'm severely lacking in inspiration at the moment :)

Look at other applications. I'm doing a very small POS application, so I downloaded MS Office Accounting Express; it's free. Then I looked at the layout of their invoice screen, said I like this but I don't like that, and quickly came up with my own. It's not copying, just looking for inspiration.

I am using visual inheritance which is really helpful to create uniform design between forms.
