Rating: Summary: The best book on Windows.Forms.NET so far Review: This is definitively the best book I have read on Windows.Forms.NET programming.

If you're serious GUI developer and you're moving to .NET you must read this one first, and all others then if you need them. Excellent book!
Rating: Summary: The Defintive Book For Widows Forms.NET Review: This is definitively the best book I have read on Windows.Forms.NET programming. I have read other books such as the one by Petzold and those published by Wrox. But by far if you work through ALL the chapters, you will be able to walk away with a wealth of knowledge on Windows Forms. The approach is very unique and I have not seen it in any other book so far. I do not distinguish books by publisher rather by the quality of contents of the book and this book I have to admit is well thought, cut and presented. I bought the e-version of the book.
