Product Description

Synopsis
Whether you are using Windows Forms to build rich-client business applications or the ASP.NET framework to build powerful web applications or web services, the use of well-designed graphics will greatly enhance their usability, impact, and visual appeal. This book provides a comprehensive guide to the use of GDI+ in .NET applications and aims to provide developers with all the information they need to build effective custom controls. The opening section of the book investigates the .NET Framework classes that implement GDI+. It covers all of the classes, methods and techniques needed to create, manipulate, and display precise graphics in a form, a page being sent to a printer or an image. On this foundation, the second section describes how to design and build effective custom controls for use in a business environment. Topics covered include building composite controls, implementing keyboard navigation, and enhancing design-time support. The final section of the book explores the use of GDI+ and ASP.NET to build custom controls that can provide reusable, GUI components for web projects and to deliver customized graphics over the Internet. The book is oriented towards a business applications audience and presents designs and techniques that will be useful in such an environment. The information in the book regarding the semantics of GDI+ is language agnostic and the examples are written in C#. A good working knowledge of C# syntax and of the .Net framework is assumed

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for WinForms, not great for ASP.NET, 11 Jan 2006
This book provides broad coverage for WinForms control development, with a great deal of content on getting the design-time experience correct. However, ASP.NET doesn't get as full a coverage, with only three chapters at the end of the book.

The book was written for .NET v1.0 and there have been many improvements in the custom control field in the subsequent releases of the .NET framework. The core concepts mentioned in the book are still relevant, but you may find yourself consulting other sources for information on .NET v2.0's Smart Tags, for instance.
