Excellent book for GUI programming using C#

This is a excellent book for GUI programing with C#

Great Introduction to Wondows Forms

If you've learned C# and you're ready to jump into Windows Forms, this is a great place start.You start off by receiving an introduction to almost all of the Common Windows Controls. An in-depth look at how Databinding works and how you can implement databinding into your own controls. A pretty good introduction to GDI+ and drawing methods, which can be followed up with the book "GDI+ Programming: Creating Custom Controls Using C#" if you want to go into more detail.The next chapter on Printing was a highlight for me. With little previous printing experience, it was a very helpful section. A nice relief too, to see that printing really is just drawing to printer instead of the screen. If you have GDI+ down, printing should be no problem.Then the book moves on with a nice chapter on Custom Controls. A lot of great sample code in there to help illustrate what they are saying. Design Time support is highlighted upon too, to allow for reusable controls by other programmers.Finishing up with two chapters on optimizing and deploying your Windows Applications. Good tips and knowledge that you wouldn't want to take the time to figure out your self.Definitely one to own to get started with Windows Forms.
