This document provides an overview and instructions for creating a Windows Form Application using C# and Microsoft Visual Studio. It discusses concepts related to Windows Forms and how to add items like forms, controls, properties and events. Code examples are provided for handling events, linking between forms, and accessing the code behind a form. The speaker information and a table of contents are also included.

4. concepts
 Windows Forms (WinForms) is a graphical (GUI) class
library included as a part of Microsoft .NET
Framework,[1] providing a platform to write rich client
applications for desktop, laptop, and tablet PCs.[2] While it is
seen as a replacement for the earlier and more
complex C++ based Microsoft Foundation Class Library, it
does not offer a comparable paradigm[3] and only acts as a
platform for the user interface tier in a multi-tier solution.

AutoScaleDimensions DPI resolution of display it was built for. Will be scaled to
look correct on other displays.
BackColor Background color
ForeColor Foreground or drawing color
ClientSize Size of drawing area without borders or scrollbars

DefaultSize Size when initially created
MinimumSize Minimum size window can be resized to
MaximumSize Maximum size window can be resized to

11. Form events
Event Description

ResizeEnd Resize operation has ended

12. Form Methods
Method Description

Show Makes the form visible
BringToFront Moves to top of stacking order
Hide Makes the form invisible
Focus Gives the form focus

13. 13
CheckBoxes
 Labeled boxes which can be checked or unchecked
 Checked – get/set Boolean to determine if box is checked
 CheckedChanged – delegate called when the box is checked or unchecked

14. 14
GroupBox
Displays a border around a group of controls
Can have optional label controlled by Text property
Controls can be added by
Placing them within the group box in the designer
Adding to the Controls list programmatically
 * see TextBoxDemo

15. 15
Panels
 A panel is like a group box but does not have a text label
 It contains a group of controls just like group box
 BorderStyle – get/set border style as

 BorderStyle.None

16. 16
Radio Buttons
Radio buttons are similar to checkboxes, but
Appear slightly different
Allow buttons to be grouped so that only one can be
checked at a time
A group is formed when the radio buttons are in
the same container – usually a group box or
panel

becomes a password box

Zoom

25. 25
ToolTips
 These are the small pop-up boxes which explain the purpose of a control
 To use
 Create a new tooltip in the designer
 Drop the tooltip onto the form
 The tooltip will appear on a tray below the form

26. 26
ToolTips

27. 27
ToolTips
 After the tooltip appears in the tray, a new tooltip property appears for every
component
 This can be assigned different text for each component
 That text will be displayed when the mouse hovers over that component

28. 28
NumericUpDown
 This allows the selection of an integer from a limited range
 Also called a spinner
 Minimum – smallest selectable value
 Maximum – largest selectable value
 Increment – size of increment per click
 Value – the selected value
 ValueChanged – event raised when the value changes
 * see DateSelector
