Chapter 19. The System.Windows.Forms Namespace
The
System.Windows.Forms namespace contains the
classes that you use to build rich client applications—the
windows, buttons, drop-down lists, and labels that make up the UIs
with which you are familiar. At the center of this universe is the
Control class. Any window that appears on the
screen, from dialogs to checkboxes, is derived from
Control, and this class provides almost all the
basic behavior a window needs. All the common windows controls
provide relatively minor modifications or extensions to
Control to add their own behaviors (painting,
click handling, etc.), so a good understanding of the
Control class goes a long, long way.
