Summary: DON'T BUY THIS BOOK!
Comment: This book doesn't provide supports if you have any questions about this book, and don't have full codes in some chapters!

Rating: 5
Summary: Extremely well-written guide
Comment: Programming .NET Windows Applications is not only a useful reference (the important enumerations and events are listed alongside descriptions of the various controls, for example), but it is a great introduction to the somewhat under-documented subject of creating fat clients using the latest tools. As a VB programmer converting to C#, I particularly appreciate the side-by-side code examples. But as an author of computer books myself, I am always on the lookout for books like this in which the authors do more than just parrot the official documentation. This book is full of helpful asides, tips, and warnings, and the text is authoritative. I will look for other books by these authors (and of course O'Reilly books are almost always excellent).

Nearly 2.5 inches thick, this is not an In-A-Nutshell book. It covers Windows Forms controls in great detail. (It assumes knowledge of VB or C# and basic .NET, and it naturally doesn't describe ASP.NET.) The chapter on creating custom controls has been particularly useful to me, and the GDI+ chapter includes source for a complex analog clock application. And for some reason, I haven't seen TreeView and ListView documented as well in other books. If you are writing Windows Applications using .NET, this is the one book to have at your side.

Rating: 5
Summary: Makes the Subject Very Approachable
Comment: I use this book as the text for an ASP.NET class I teach for the last two years, after looking over many others. It covers most of the areas on the subject very well, however I do provide my own supplemental material for a few missing, but common and easy to handle, topics for building web apps, such as HttpCookie and SmtpMail. Still highly recommended!
