About This CourseThis section provides you with a brief description of the course, audience,suggested prerequisites, and course objectives.

Windows Forms is the new platform for Microsoft® Windows® application

development, based on the Microsoft .NET Framework. The .NET Framework provides a clear, object-oriented, extensible set of classes that enablesdevelopers to develop rich Windows Forms applications. Additionally,

Windows Forms can act as the local user interface in a multi-tier distributedsolution.

This three-day instructor-led course provides students with the skills required to build Windows Forms applications by using the .NET Framework.

This course is intended for the intermediate programmer who is responsible for

designing and building Windows Forms applications by using the .NETFramework. It is designed for developers who have Microsoft Visual C#™ .NETdevelopment skills.

Typically, these individuals perform the following key activities:

Help with creation of functional specifications

Design and develop user interfaces

Create and test prototypes

Write Windows Forms applications

This course requires that students meet the following prerequisites:

Experience with a .NET Framework language such as Visual C# .NET

Microsoft MSDN® Training Course 2609A: Introduction to C#

Programming with Microsoft .NET and Course 2124C: Programming withC# will help students gain skills in Visual C# .NET programmingtechniques and meet the prerequisites for this course.

Experience developing applications

After completing this course, the student will be able to:

Create and populate Windows Forms.

Organize controls on Windows Forms.

Create menus in a Windows Forms application.

Add code to form and control event procedures in a Windows Forms

application. Create Multiple Document Interface (MDI) applications.

Use dialog boxes in Windows Forms applications.

Validate user input in a Windows Forms application.

Create and use user controls in a Windows Forms application.

Create licenses for controls.

Bind Windows Forms applications to various data sources by using

Microsoft ADO.NET.
