I have seen a number of C# roles that specifically require WinForms experience. However although I am a confident C# developer, I have never heard of this term.
I have a lot of experience with C# Windows Applications, specifically that using the system.windows.forms api. Is ‘WinForms’ just another name for this? Or is it instead a specific toolkit/framework that is supplementary to the default api’s?
I would love further clarification.
Many thanks all
Winforms is sort of API to create GUI client application. It is part of the .Net framework (exists in C# and in VB.NET).
Today you also have Silverlight and WPF to create non command line application.
The namespace you stated is part of it.
When you create a new project in VS, you select Windows Forms Application.
If you’r application contains Forms, buttons, text boxes and more of those, then yes. You are using the winforms framework.
