Re: best way to learn Windows Forms



If you want to know more about using forms, post a specific
question, not a general "tell me about Windows forms". There
is enough information about forms to fill a thousand-page book.

I just don't need the basics; I need more advanced stuff


I can build console apps like the back of my hand
and declaring forms before instantiating them? isn't that standard vb6
and even vba?

even in Access Dim frm as new Form_Switchboard right?

i just-- the big picture-- a single book or 10 single books isnt going
to do this for me.

Are there good windows form websites?
Best practices, extensibility?

I just don't understand why forms are such a complex beast; under what
situations do you change the source code for the form?

Check out Tim Patrick's book, Start-to-Finish Visual Basic 2005.
By working through it, you build an entire application, so it
covers all the basics, from building forms to data access.

I am a VB6 programmer and I know how to build console apps.. I just
dont understand how to get my mind around WinForms; they just seem a
lot more complex than VB6.

Thanks
