Study Notes

Project Structure

  • A Windows Forms application has a specific project structure that includes Form1.cs, Program.cs, App.config, and Resources folders.
  • Form1.cs contains the code for the main form and other forms, including design-time code and event handling code.
  • Program.cs contains the entry point for the application, the Main method, which starts the application's message loop.
  • App.config is an optional file that stores configuration settings for the application.
  • Resources folder is an optional folder that contains resources used by the application, such as images and icons.

Form Controls

  • Common controls used in Windows Forms applications include Button, Label, TextBox, ComboBox, and ListBox.
  • Controls can be added to a form using the Toolbox in Visual Studio.
  • Properties can be set for controls, such as Text, Name, Size, Location, and others.

Properties Folder

  • The Properties folder contains files related to the properties of the project, such as AssemblyInfo.cs.
  • AssemblyInfo.cs contains assembly-level attributes that specify information about the application, such as its title, version, and assembly configuration.

References

  • The References section in the Solution Explorer lists the references to external libraries and assemblies used by the project.
  • References can be added to libraries such as the .NET Framework, third-party libraries, and custom class libraries.

Forms

  • The Form class is a fundamental class in Windows Forms applications, representing a window or dialog box.
  • The Form class provides properties, events, and methods for managing the appearance and behavior of the form.
  • Properties of the Form class include Title, Size, and BackgroundColor.

Layout and Positioning

  • Layout and positioning in Windows Forms can significantly impact the appearance and behavior of the application's user interface.
  • Layout tools and manual positioning can be used to control the positioning of controls.
  • Anchor and Dock properties can be used to determine how a control is anchored to the edges of its container and which edge of the container a control should be docked to.
  • TableLayoutPanel can be used to create a grid-like layout where controls can be placed in cells.
  • Location and Size properties can be used to manually position and size controls.
  • Tips for effective layout include using a combination of layout tools and manual positioning, grouping related controls, and testing the layout by resizing the form.
