Can someone recommend a book on C# WinForms?

Brown, "Windows Form Programming with C#" from Manning Press. It's a good
walkthrough book -- it takes you through the steps of building a WinForms
application for managing photo albums, and covers most of the WinForms
controls in the process.

Thanks for the reply. Does it go into detail beyond setting properties? I
am looking for a book on MDI and databinding, toolbars ...

Yup, it covers each of those. It's fairly thorough -- it spends an entire
chapter on different types of buttons, for example. The aim of the book is
to show how to create a polished Winforms application, and the author
manages to work in just about every topic.

Another good book that I'm reading now, BTW, is MacDonald, "User Interfaces
in VB.Net," by APress. It's more of a intermediate-level reference book --
the first half is devoted to the basic WinForms controls, and the second
half to advanced topics like usercontrols, data binding, GDI+, etc. I think
is should be useful even if you're not too familiar with VB.

Check out O'Reilly's ".Net Windows Forms In A Nutshell." It's loaded with
information.

Thanks Gregg.

While I was adding that book to my Amazon shopping cart, I discovered that
there's a C# translation of MacDonald's "User Interfaces in VB.Net."
(Called -- surprise -- "User Interfaces in C#".) I highly recommend the VB
version, and expect that the C# version is just as good.
