Product Description

Product Description
User Interfaces in VB. NET: Windows Forms and Custom Controls goes beyond simple coverage of the Windows Forms and GDI+ namespaces by combining a careful treatment of the API with a detailed discussion of good user-interface design principles. After reading User Interfaces in VB. NET: Windows Forms and Custom Controls, you'll know how to design state-of-the-art application interfaces, program graphics, and much more. This book contains the following:     An overview of how to design elegant user interfaces the average user can understand     A comprehensive examination of the user interface controls and classes in .NET      Best practices and design tips for coding user interfaces and integrating help Although this book isn't a reference, it does contain detailed discussions about every user interface element you'll use on a regular basis. But you won't just learn how to use .NET controls--you'll learn how and why to extend them with your own custom controls. As a developer, you need to know more than how to add a control to a window. You also need to know how to create an entire user interface framework that's scalable, flexible, and reusable.

3.0 out of 5 stars Useful but not entirely comprehensive, 10 April 2005
By B. Eaton "twiglet27" (Telford, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
If you're starting out with VB.NET and haven't created any custom controls yet then this is a good place to start. Otherwise it's probably contains a lot of information you already know.

I bought it so I could get to grips with design time support for custom controls and also to extend the datagrid. On the first score it was very helpful, on the second it didn't do too well. It does have some interesting ideas about creating multi-tier applications and structuring projects, but otherwise it left me feeling like I hadn't actually learnt that much.

It was published in 2002 and that is fairly evident with a lot of the content. Unless you're really on the low rungs of the VB.NET ladder I would recommend looking for something else.
