I could not find any information about new WinForm features, exept for this blog post:
http://blog.codinglight.com/2009/05/future-of-winforms-whats-changed-in.html
which states:
213 types were changed, and 9 types
were added. 596 methods were changed,
50 were added, and 8 were removed.
So whats in these changes, for joe developer?
Windows Forms is in maintenance mode. Every framework release included some changes to it, but they are all changes that were only made to tighten up security or ensure it stays compatible with new releases of Windows.
The linked blog post shows new classes that are internal and not usable from your own code. VisualStyleElement.ExplorerTreeView helps PropertyGrid draw the Vista style treeview with triangles for the nodes. The CompatibleFrameWork stuff is all in the internal System.Deployment namespace, I think it is there to help ClickOnce deal with the .NET 4.0 version and the Target Framework setting in the project’s Application tab.
WF is feature complete, it’s going to stay the way it is for the foreseeable future.
