Abstract

This chapter focuses on Windows forms in .NET. The windows form namespace in the .NET class library can be considered as equivalent to the visual forms programming model used by previous versions of Visual Basic. The major improvement of the .NET Windows Forms class model over the original Visual Basic (VB) model is its ability to support any Common Language Runtime (CLR) compliant language. This means that the .NET Windows forms class model, rather than just supporting VB.NET, presently fully supports C# and, for that matter, any future developed CLR compliant language. The .NET Windows forms class maintains the outward appearance and the basic functionality of the original visual programming environment found within VB. The .NET Windows forms class is constrained to execute within a managed code area, that is, the CLR and the inherent CTS definitions.
