C# for Windows Programming
Chris H. Pappas, William Hugh Murray · 2001
From the Book: Preface This is a book designed for you, the programmer, who has a good operating knowledge of C/C++. If you have experience developing Windows applications, you will be one step ahead of everyone else! The book's purpose is to introduce you to the key elements of the C# language in the context of developing Windows applications with this language. The book quickly examines the key features of C# then moves you into the world of Windows application development. You will learn programming strategies for Windows that will make writing code in C# that much easier. This book teaches by example. We have tried to include all of the important features common to most Windows applications in this book. The examples include all of the programming codenot just parts of it. For experienced programmers this might seem like overkill, but life has taught us that just when you need ita full program listing is likely to help explain even the most difficult programming concept. C# appears to be taking a 180-degree turn from the traditional C++ with MFC programming, which is so familiar to Windows programmers. While the language is most definitely C-like, the interface is not the traditional SDK. Instead, it is more closely associated with Visual Basic language because of its use of forms, controls, etc. You are going to love this environment! This book will highlight the radical departure of C# Windows application development from traditional Windows application development. Programmers retain C/C++ elements with C#, but use an easier drag and drop design. This single revision may revolutionize Windows application design.
