Day 3. Writing Windows Forms Applications
The ability to rapidly develop and deploy forms-based applications is what led to the phenomenal success of Visual Basic. Visual Basic enables you to build enterprise-level applications at lightning speed without requiring you to fully understand what the underlying infrastructure of the operating system is doing. With .NET, this ability is taken to the next level. The Windows Forms model for .NET is fully integrated into the .NET Framework. The development model is fully object oriented, enabling you to create better applications faster using Visual Studio .NET. The rapid in Rapid Application Development (RAD) has never been truer when developing with Windows Forms. Today, you learn about
- Using forms and controls
- How to handle events in Windows Forms
- Adding controls to forms
- Dynamically adding controls to Forms
- Creating MDI applications with Windows Forms
- Inheriting Windows Forms
- Using common dialogs in Windows Forms
