Chapter 8. Forms and Controls
Ever since its earliest days, Visual Studio has excelled at providing a rich visual environment for rapidly designing forms and windows. From simple drag-and-drop procedures for placing graphical controls onto the form, to setting properties that control advanced layout and behavior of controls, the form editor built into Visual Studio 2008 provides you with immense power without your having to dive into code.
This chapter walks you through these processes, bringing you up to speed with the latest additions to the toolset so that you can maximize your efficiency when creating Windows or web applications. While the examples and discussion in this chapter use only Windows Forms, many of the principles and techniques being discussed apply equally well to Web Forms applications.
