Introduction to Windows Forms
 Windows Forms provides a graphical user interface (GUI) for
building windows client applications.
 This GUI represents a part of Microsoft.NET Framework.
 You can create Windows Forms Applications in any language that
is supported by CLR.
 Prior to Windows Forms, Programmers had to perform the
difficult and inconvenient task of manually writing thousands of
lines of code for designing an application.
 Windows Forms provides an easy and ideal way for creating
applications.
Windows Forms Cont..
 It acts as container that allow you to add different types of
controls, such as Button, Label and so many others.
 You can also use the Windows Forms for creating message boxes
and dialog boxes, displaying messages, and accepting user data.
 It allows you to design multiple forms to perform various tasks by
using different controls with their properties and methods.
 Namespace : System.Windows.Forms.
 Examples of a Windows Forms Applications
• Notepad
• Calculator
How to Create Windows Forms ?
 Step : 1
• Open Visual Studio, Go to File menu NewProject.
• After Clicking on Project, new project window will appear.
