MANNING PRESS RELEASE
=======================
Manning Publications announces the release of:
Windows Forms Programming with C# Greenwich, Connecticut, April 2002 --
In the .NET environment, GUI elements like menus, buttons, lists,
trees, and of course the window itself, are created and deployed using the new Windows Forms framework. Windows Forms is an object-oriented set of classes that offers an effective, modern programming environment for rich Windows applications development.
Windows Forms Programming with C# covers fundamentals like labels,
menus, buttons, as well as advanced concepts like owner-drawn lists,
explorer-style interfaces, customized data binding, etc. The author uses many examples that gradually build into a common theme. He shows how to implement, among other things: reusable libraries, auto-filled combo boxes, keyboard and mouse processing, printing and print previewing, and embedded web browsers.
The book is intended for beginner and intermediate programmers eager to get
their hands dirty. Appendices include a 30-page reference to the C#
language and a handy visual index of the Windows Forms classes.
