Windows Forms are the set of tools in Microsoft .NET used to program traditional desktop applications. The topic has been one of the better selling ones for .NET books. Within Windows Forms a significant percentage of the work that developers do is centered around data binding, and many of the problems that developers encounter and ask questions about are related to data binding. Data binding is a powerful capability that has really achieved a rich maturity in Windows Forms 2.0. By using data binding properly a developer can save writing a lot of unnecessary code, and can provide users with a rich, interactive experience. Windows Forms 2.0 introduces a lot of new capabilities. While most other books on Windows Forms contain some material on data binding, this will be the first book focused on the topic. It will also be one of the first books out on Windows Forms 2.0. Noyes wrote the book with Chris Sells' book in mind, so that the two will complement each other, and have little overlapping material.
