Everything changes in the Microsoft .NET Framework and the C# language, including the creation of graphical user interfaces (GUIs). Windows Forms Programming in C# explains the Windows Forms (WinForms) environment to programmers who have some experience with .NET programming, and in the process (thanks to a clear and deliberate expository style) reveals a lot about .NET to less experienced developers. The overall effect is that almost every reader comes away with better knowledge of .NET, not just its user-interface libraries and behaviors.

Author Chris Sells takes care to balance code samples with explanatory text, meaning that most chapters take on a characteristic «code, explanation, effect» style (in which «effect» is usually documented with a screen shot). This approach is effective, and serves both to answer «How do I…» questions and inspire «I should give that a try!» exploration. Once in a while, callouts will link two or more screen shots with a sample of code, graphically illustrating how code affects the appearance of a form and how it’s represented in the Visual Studio development environment. On top of his clear teaching style, Sells calls attention to workarounds for shortcomings in the .NET environment (particularly where similar limitations don’t exist in Microsoft Foundation Classes), helping to improve programmer productivity in the growing .NET environment. —David Wall

Topics covered: How to use the WinForms environment within the Microsoft .NET Framework. Dialog boxes, drawing, printing, and controls all are covered by means of explanations and lots of illustrative examples, and there’s good coverage of the WinForms event model, too. An appendix compares MFC and the .NET Framework.

Praise for Windows Forms Programming in C#

&;Chris may have a strong affinity for semi-colons, but anybody who&;s programming Windows Forms needs to read this book.&;

&;Brian Randell, Visual Basic Guru and DevelopMentor Instructor

&;Chris Sells has done it again. This book has everything a developer needs to know to write serious WinForms applications. Chris leaves no stone unturned in explaining the WinForms programming model and arming developers with the knowledge they need to exploit WinForms to the fullest. And, as if that weren&;t enough, Chris&;s writing style makes this book a page-turner for geeks. I couldn&;t put it down! Until John Grisham gets the .NET religion, you won&;t find a better WinForms book anywhere.&;

&;Jeff Prosise, co-founder of Wintellect, author of Programming Microsoft .NET

&;Chris is clearly *the* expert on web deployment of WinForms. In this book, Chris explains this material clearly and the power of the technology really shows. Unlike other WinForms books, this manuscript takes a more practical approach to the use of programming tools, such as Visual Studio. Sells&;s book strikes a nice balance between theory and practice. Windows Forms is an important technology that needs more press. Chris Sells&; book is in great position to be the definitive work on the emerging technology.&;

&;Brian Graff, Sr. SW Engineer, PreEmptive Solutions, Inc.

&;Chris has written the best WinForms book around. Period.&;

&;Pierre Nallet, DevelopMentor Instructor

&;Chris does a nice job of presenting the core elements of WinForms complete with many concise samples and graphic depictions of UI features in action. Even more compelling, however, is how Chris anticipates how most developers will want to use these features, and presents techniques and paradigms of usage that will be invaluable for any serious WinForms developer. This book is destined to become dog-eared in the hands anyone building WinForms applications.&;

&;Fritz Onion, DevelopMentor instructor and author of Essential ASP.NET

&;I don&;t want just a description of the WinForms widgets. I can get that online or from other books. What I want is a roadmap for pitfalls to avoid, and innovative solutions for common problems. That is where this book shines.&;

&;Johan Ericcson, SW Engineer, Agilent

&;This is the definitive book for every Windows Programmer.&;

&;Fumiaki Yoshimatsu, Sr. Engineer, Intoferia Corporation

&;After browsing through countless books that introduce me to Windows Forms basics, it is refreshing to find a book that dives right into some real hard-core programming. This is, without a doubt the best and most useful C#/WinForms book I have ever read. I would suggest this book to be essential reading for very serious .NET WinForms developer who wants to work smarter instead of harder.&;

&;Serge Shimanovsky, Software Developer, Rueters Group PLC

&;In this book, Chris Sells discusses how the Windows Forms classes and their supporting infrastructure can be used to write robust and rich smart client applications. If you&;re an experienced Windows programmer who has previously used MFC or directly utilized the Win32 API to write such applications, you will find Chris&;s direct delivery very appropriate for transferring your knowledge to the managed classes. If you&;re a developer with less Windows development experience, you&;ll find the treatment of core concepts in application UI programming indispensable.&;

&;From the foreword by Mike Blaszczack, Architect, SQL Server Data Warehousing, Microsoft

«I think this book does a great job of hitting a huge number of features&;sometimes I forget how much there is to WinForms!» &;Chris Anderson, Software Architect, Microsoft Windows Forms team

Programming Windows Forms in C# is the ultimate guide to using the Microsoft .NET forms package. Readers learn how to build smart client applications that take full advantage of both the rich user interface features of the Microsoft Windows operating system and the deployment features of HTML-based applications. Author Chris Sells draws upon his WinForms research and programming experience to provide what the Windows Forms documentation could not: a clear picture of exactly how C# programmers will want to use WinForms.

Well-written and easy to navigate, this book presents the building blocks of WinForms and the best practices for creating stand-alone client applications and front ends to databases and Web services. Readers gain an understanding of the rationale behind aspects of WinForms’ design and will find out how to avoid or solve common problems. Figures illustrate WinForms’ user interface features and code samples are used throughout the book to demonstrate best practices. All code has been tested with Visual Studio .NET 1.1 and is available at www.sellsbrothers.com, where readers will also find updates to the book.

This book focuses on the topics readers need to understand in order to build real-world applications. These topics include:

Form layout

Multiple top-level windows
Non-rectangular windows
Accessing data from the middle tier, filesystems, XML, databases, and Web services
Classes outside the System.WinForms namespace, including System.Drawing and System.Security
Custom drawing
Hosting and building controls
Design-time integration
Data binding
Multithreaded user interfaces
Deploying WinForms over the Web
Moving from MFC
Delegates and events
Serialization basics

Programming Windows Forms in C# is the tutorial for experienced Windows programmers who are serious about mastering Windows Forms.

Превью к статье о создании C++ Windows Forms проекта

Windows Forms — интерфейс программирования приложений, отвечающий за графический интерфейс пользователя. Он является частью .Net Framework и создан для того, чтобы упростить взаимодействие пользователя с элементами Win API. Причём не просто упростить, а буквально полностью скрыть низкоуровневое взаимодействие с графическими элементами путём создания набора базовых компонентов и классов. При этом используемые классы не привязаны к языку разработки, благодаря чему данный проект может использоваться как на родном для Microsoft C#, так и на других языках, например, C++, VB Net и F#. Но не смотря на свою кроссплатформенность в мире языков программирования, Windows Forms проекты легко создаются на C#, однако при попытке создания проекта на C++ возникает множество проблем.

Шаг 0. А вдруг получится сразу?

В настоящее время IDE, поддерживающих Windows forms, не так много — буквально одна только Visual Studio, более известная как просто «студия». Поэтому будем рассматривать создание и решение проблем именно в этой среде разработки. Первым шагом запустим студию, начнём создавать новый проект и попытаемся найти Windows forms проект для C++:

Создаём новый проект в студии

Ищем Winfows Forms для C++

Если у вас более старая версия Visual Studio, то интерфейс будет выглядеть немного иначе, однако данная функциональность будет той же. Также не исключено, что у Вас может быть данный тип проекта для C++ (на некоторых версиях формы для C++ были доступны сразу после установки IDE). Если же у Вас, как и у нас поиск не дал нужных результатов, то переходим к следующему шагу.

Шаг 1. Создание CLR проекта

Поскольку непосредственно Windows Forms проекта у нас не оказалось, мы обхитрим студию и создадим пустой CLR проект на С++. Для этого в том же окне поиска необходимо найти и выбрать Новый CLR проект, ввести имя (если нужно, то поменять директорию расположения проекта) и немного подождать, пока студия сделает свою работу.

Ищем пустой CLR проект (.Net Framework)

Создаём новый пустой CLR проект

В результате Visual Stido создаст новый C++ CLR проект, который будет выглядеть примерно так:

Результат создания нового CLR проекта

Шаг 2. Добавить форму

Чтобы сделать CLR проект проектом Windows Forms, нужно просто добавить в него форму. Для этого в верхнем меню нужно выбрать Проект — Добавить новый элемент и в появившемся окне выбрать категорию Visual C++ — UI и затем выбрать Форма Windows Forms.

Добавить новый элемент»>

Проект -> Добавить новый элемент

UI -> Форма Windows Forms»>

Visual C++ -> UI -> Форма Windows Forms

После данной операции нас ждёт разочарование в виде ошибки Исключение из HRESULT: 0x8000000A:

Вместо формы получили ошибку

Шаг 3. Исправляем появившуюся ошибку

Данная ошибка появляется из-за того, что для создания окна формы приложению необходима основная программа, создающая форму и переключающая управление на неё, однако после добавления новой формы файл Form1.cpp предсказуемо создаётся пустым. Поэтому необходимо добавить основную программу в файл с формой:

#include "Form1.h"

#include <Windows.h>

using namespace имя_вашего_проекта;

int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE, HINSTANCE, LPSTR, int) {
    Application::EnableVisualStyles();
    Application::SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
    Application::Run(gcnew Form1);
    return 0;
}

В результате код файла Form1.cpp будет выглядеть следующим образом:

Добавление основной программы к форме

Шаг 4. Переоткрыть проект

Всё, что теперь осталось сделать — это закрыть текущее решение, а затем открыть его снова. Для этого можно закрыть саму студию, а можно выбрать в верхнем меню Файл — Закрыть решение, после чего в появившемся окне выбрать только что созданный проект и открыть его заново.

Форма создалась, можно добавлять компоненты

Благодаря добавленному коду основной программы, студия сможет создать форму и на экране появится изображение формы, на которую можно будет добавлять компоненты, задавать их свойства, а также свойства самой формы.

The dialog tool set: a new way to create the dialog component

2001

To help graphical and interactive applications designers in their task, several architecture models have been proposed. They all recommend to separate the application in three components which are the presentation, the dialog component and the specific component. Beyond these architectures, several tools have been proposed to create these components. These tools can be divided in two great families: the presentation toolkits called toolkits in the following and the top down generators.

Dynamic Component Composition in .NET

The Journal of Object Technology, 2004

Components have brought with them the notion of services which let the programmer concentrate on the business behavior of his component while the non functional part (i.e. the services) is the responsibility of the platform provider. Thus services are not reusable throughout the different platforms; the mechanism used to integrate them in the component is totally platform dependant. In this paper we propose a model to define the integration of services and describe its implementation in the .NET framework. We also discuss the facilities offered by the .NET platform in comparison with the first implementation of this model which was in Java.

Information System Design and Prototyping Using Form Types

… of INSTICC I …, 2006

The paper presents the form type concept that generalizes screen forms that users utilize to communicate with an information system. The concept is semantically rich enough to enable specifying such an initial set of constraints, which makes it possible to generate application prototypes together with related implementation database schema. IIS*Case is a CASE tool based on the form type concept that supports conceptual modelling of an information system and its database schema. The paper outlines a way how this tool can generate XML specifications of application prototypes of an information system. The aim is to improve IIS*Case through implementation of a generator which can produce an executable prototype of an information system, automatically.

Component Programming — a fresh look at software components

Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 1995

All engineering disciplines rely on standard components to design and build artifacts. The key technical challenge in software engineering is to enable the adoption of such a model to the development of software. The transformation from line-by-line development to component-based development will address many of the industry’s persistent productivity and quality problems. Indeed, component-based software development has been a long-standing dream of the software industry, prompting a search for both technical and nontechnical solutions. A successful approach to component-based development requires a comprehensive solution that draws on advances in programming languages, programming paradigms, algorithm analysis, and software design. This paper presents an approach based on the C++ Standard Template Library. More than a traditional library, STL embodies a concrete approach to software design based on a well-defined taxonomy and theory of software components. I present the fundamental contributions of STL to a paradigm of component programming-a component-based software development paradigm in which there is a clear separation between component development and application development. I motivate component programming, give the requirements for components and catalogs, and give an example of component programming applied to the standard Keyword in Context (KWIC) problem. I then summarize the implications of component programming for the software industry and for software engineering education.

Fourteenth International Workshop on Component-Oriented Programming

2009

WCOP 2009 is the fourteenth event in a series of highly successful workshops. WCOP has been a successful and steady event at ECOOP from 1996 to 2007. Since 2008, WCOP was moved to be part of the CompArch federated event, as the unique opportunity to associate with this established conference in the field of components and architecture, aligning well with the WCOP focus. This move proved successful in gaining submissions of high quality. COP has been described as the natural extension of object-oriented programming to the realm of independently extensible systems. Several important approaches have emerged over the years, including component technology standards, such as CORBA/CCM, COM/COM+, J2EE/EJB, .NET, and most recently software services and model-driven development. Additionally the increasing appreciation of software architecture for component-based systems, as in SOA, plays an important role including the consequent effects on organizational processes and structures as well as the software development business as a whole. COP aims at producing software components for a component market and for late composition. Composers are third parties, possibly end users, who are not able or not willing to change components. This requires standards to allow independently created components to interoperate, and specifications that put the composer in a position to decide what can be composed under which circumstances. On these grounds, WCOP’96 led to the following definition: A component is a unit of composition with contractually specified interfaces and explicit context dependencies only. Components can be deployed independently and are subject to composition by third parties. Where WCOP’96 focused on the fundamental terminology of COP, the subsequent workshops expanded attention to the many related facets of component software. In the future, WCOP will become the Doctoral Symposium of CompArch, as a kind of entry level workshop in the field of software components and architectures. WCOP 2009 accepted 3 papers covering the broad field of COP: Self-adapting components, component certification, and domain-specific component models. The organisers cordially thank Klaus Krogmann for preparing the proceedings volume.

Windows Forms (WinForms) is a GUI class library for building Windows desktop applications. Originally part of the .NET Framework, it is now supported in .NET Core, .NET 5+, .NET 8 (LTS), and .NET 9. Its main purpose is to provide an easier interface to develop applications for desktops, tablets, and PCs. It is also termed as the WinForms.

The applications developed using Windows Forms or WinForms are known as the Windows Forms Applications that run on the desktop computer. WinForms can be used only to develop Windows Forms Applications.

Creating First Windows Form

Let’s create the first Windows form here we are using Visual Studio Community 2022. Refer to this article which has a complete process on how to download Visual Studio.
Firstly we create a simple form that has a button and when we click on that button it shows a message let’s create it. These are the important steps to create a Windows form follow these steps as mentioned below:

Note: At the time of writing, Visual Studio Community 2022 is the latest stable version. However, check for newer versions like Visual Studio 2025 for updated features.

Step 1: Now open Visual Studio and different options are available there as of now.

Step 2: Now choose the Windows Forms App with C# and click on the next button.

Step 3: Now locate the project with the name here we are using the default name which is Form1 and it will open a form in the editor which we can further modify.

Let’s understand the interface of Visual Studio Community 2022 for Windows forms

Editor Window (Main Window): Here, We will work with forms and code editing. Notice the layout of the form which is now blank. If we double-click the form then it will open the code for that.
Solution Explorer: A file manager for your project where you can navigate between forms, resources, and settings. For example, if we will select a file from this window then particular information will be displayed in the property window.
Properties Window: Allows you to modify UI elements such as colors, text alignment, and visibility. Also, we can change the properties of components or controls that will add to the forms.

In the image, we have two files that are open one Design and there is Form1.cs these two play a major role. We use the Form 1.cs file for the custom logic.

Step 4: Now open a Toolbox go to the view > Toolbox or ctrl + alt + x.

Toolbox: Provides drag-and-drop controls like buttons, text boxes, and labels to design the UI.

Step 5. Now open the common controls and drag and drop the button on the form where we want it to be placed.

Step 6. Now open the properties of the button press right-click on the button and it will open the properties solution explorer now we can change the button name to Click here.

Step 7: Now again open the Toolbox and then click on the label and place where we want to show the message.

Note: The Form1.Designer.cs file automatically generates UI code for Windows Forms. You should not manually edit this file, as changes may be lost. Instead, add event-handling logic in Form1.cs

Note: To handle user interactions, double-click a button to generate a Click event in Form1.cs. Here, you can define actions when the button is clicked.

Step 8. Now again double click on the button and it will open Form1.cs file and add the text when the button1 click action is triggered.

Form1.cs file:



namespace WinFormsApp2
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            label1.Text = "Hello Geeks!";
        }

    }
}

Step 9: Now click on the start button or press F5 to execute the program.

It will open a Windows form now to interact with the program.

Advantages

Comprehensive Controls: It comes up with a rich set of customizable controls (buttons, text boxes labels etc.) that makes it easier to use and allows more control through properties and event handling
Visual Designer: It comes up with the visual design helps to see the changes of form design and comes up with features like drag-and-drop for easy UI design.
Code Integration: A specially designed code editor for forms design helps to write application logic, handling events and data validation.
Use-cases: It is used in a variety of applications including the data entry tools, management system and business purposes.
Easy and optimal: Always become a first choice to make a lightweight desktop application for rapid development and come up with .NET support.
