Can any one recommend me a good book for Winforms in .net 4.0 C#. Generally I prefer reading Wrox books as they teach by making something (Recently read ASP.Net book where they followed the entire tutorial by making a website) but they don’t have a special Winforms book I think. A book with some application making example will be great but still any book with good knowledge will work perfect.

I can read about forms and controls directly from internet but that’s the reason I am looking for a book with some application examples.

Thanks.

    There’s basically nothing significant changed in WinForms through .NET versions. Updates are more maintenance, bugfixes, visual style updates and compatibility with new OSs. You can see that here or here. Even update from .NET 2 to .NET 3.5 was maintenance (see here).

    If you’re still after a WinForms book, I think Pro .NET 2.0 Windows Forms and Custom Controls in C# is a good one. It’s more advanced than going through steps of creating a desktop application. But most books on WinForms will be as it’s simpler subject than ASP.NET.

    If you’re trying to stay current with development try reading about Silverlight or WPF.
