User Interfaces in VB .NET: Windows Forms and Custom Controls by Matthew MacDona

Description: User Interfaces in VB .NET by Matthew MacDonald This title shows how to create elegant custom controls tailored to your data and application logic; describes the architecture of a well-planned user interface: everything from data binding strategies to document-view architecture with MDI; shows how to create dynamic user interfaces, dockable windows, and much more. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This book represents the start of the second wave of .NET books: closely focused works that give you the insight of experienced developers about a single aspect of .NET programming. In .NET User Interfaces with VB .NET, youll take a close look at all the ingredients you can use to design state-of-the-art application interfaces. Youll also delve into entirely new topics like custom control design and GDI+, the next-generation painting framework for Windows. You wont just learn about anchoring and docking, youll work with complete examples that show document-view architectures, custom control layout engines, dockable windows, and hit testing with owner-drawn controls. Youll also learn how to design irregularly shaped forms, unshackle data binding, and build integrated help systems. Youll find that this book fills three roles. It provides the following: - An overview of how to design elegant user interfaces the average user can understand. This is addressed directly in the first chapter, and indirectly in tips and asides throughout the book. - A comprehensive examination of the user interface controls and classes in .NET.Although this book is not a reference, it contains an exhaustive tour of almost every user interface element youll want to use, including providers, components, and custom controls. - A tutorial with best practices and design tips for coding user interfaces and integrating help. This represents overall focus, and the single most important aspect of the book. As a developer, you need to know more than how to add a control to a window. You also need to know how to create an entire user interface framework thats scalable, flexible, and reusable. Notes * Shows how to create elegant custom controls tailored to your data and application logic--in almost every chapter! * Describes the architecture of a well-planned user interface: everything from data binding strategies to document-view architecture with MDI * Shows how to create dynamic user interfaces, dockable windows, and your own vector-based drawing program * Teaches GDI+ essentials like hit testing, irregularly shaped forms, owner-drawn menus, and animated controls * Shows how to integrate "intelligence" into your user interfaces with embedded help and user agents Author Biography Matthew MacDonald is an author,educator, and MCSD developer who has a passion for emerging technologies. He isthe author of more than a dozen books about .NET programming. In a dimly-remembered past life, he studied English literature and theoretical physics.

Promotional Springer Book Archives Long Description IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS, a deluge of .NET books has hit store shelves, each one eager to explain the new programming philosophy of the .NET world. In the excitement, many of these books have left out the tricks and insights needed to really master .NET programming. Part of the problem is that no single work can cover the entire .NET platform-a sprawling, ambitious framework that revolutionizes everything from Internet applications to data access technology. Many .NET books provide a good overview of essential concepts, but they cant deal with the subtleties needed for all types of development. This book represents the start of the second wave of .NET books: closely focused works that give you the insight of experienced developers about a single aspect of .NET programming. User Interfaces in VB .NET: Windows Forms and Custom Controls takes a close look at all the ingredients you can use to design state-of-the-art application interfaces. It also delves into entirely new topics like custom-control design and GDI+, the next -generation painting framework for Wmdows.
