Hi All,
Is there a good book or paper on conceptualizing Winforms as objects?
In object-oriented programming I don't find it diffiucult to see
"student", "person", or "car" as objects, but I do have problems
conceptualizing a "form" and controls on forms as objects and how they
fit together. Is there anything specifically on dealing with forms
while maintaining the OO model and design in C#?
Thanks much,
Mike

Mike,
The best book I've found on WinForms is Chris Sells book, "Windows Forms
Programming in C#". It is part of the MS .Net Development Series. It
addresses some of your questions, but not necessarily in an OOP discussion,
but in the way it talks about forms/controls as objects, what happens in the
constructor etc. I'm working on a VERY large winforms application right now,
and it has paid for itself many times over.

Right now the only way to use a WinForms control in MFC is to enable COM
Interop for the control and use it in MFC as you would any ActiveX control.
While this works, COM Interop is a pain, and an ActiveX control isn't as
straight-forward as a CWnd-derived object. It also means that I have to
split my code into two projects. Going the other way (using MFC in
WinForms) is only possible by exposing MFC objects as ActiveX controls,

However, it's not quite so clear for bound controls. We don't

If you develop WinForms or WebForms clients that consume webservices, and

This can help with sorting and filtering of collections, when displayed in a
DataGrid.
A DataGrid is a powerful data display widget. One of the interesting...

Hi,
Just looking for some v2 guidance here...
In WebForms, the DropDownList control has an Items collection which contains
ListItem objects which, in turn, very conveniently contain a text property
and a value property.
In WinForms, the ComboBox control also has an Items collection which can
contain (as I understand it) pretty much any object which can display

I'm developing a WinForms application. It slowly eats up memory, one
client reported that it took 200MB or more, and finnaly crashed. I
myself noticed it's common to use up 30MB memory, but if I minimize it
(all the Forms will Hide, only a NotifyIcon is shown at the System
Notification Area), the memory usage comes down to 8MB immediately.
After that, even if I show the Forms again, it uses only 8MB memory.

Here I am learning WinForms and two months into it I learn there's a

to WinForms, in the sense that all the library routines I memorize and/

in one early version of C#, the non-generic "ArrayList" was replaced
by the generic and template <based List, but that kind of change is
not a big deal. If WPF...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
