Question

I’m looking for some programming guides to C# GUI design. I come from the Java camp (where I can happily hand-code Swing/AWT GUIs) and thus don’t have a clue where to start 🙁

Also, what difference (if any) is there between the Windows Presentation Foundation and WinForms?

Answer 1

Chris Sells seems to be ‘dah man’ with regard to Windows Forms and WPF:

Also well taking a look at Charles Petzold as well:

MS also have a heap of stuff related to design guidelines and usability from a windows perspective:
