Join us on Wednesday, September 17 for our monthly UCNUG meeting. We will be meeting at the NuSkin NOC at 1175 S. 350 E. Provo. We will be pleased to hear from Aaron Zupancic who will be speaking on WinForms Controls Designer Experience. Here is what Aaron told me he was planning on presenting.
The .NET framework makes writing WinForms controls accessible to any and all programmers. In this session we’re going to focus on the control’s design-time experience; that is, what users of your controls will experience when writing software using your controls. There is a rich set of classes and tools that can help you create slick, professional components that will make your users’ lives easier, but without knowing what they are or where to find them it can be a challenge. Even sometimes when armed with the knowledge, it’s not always intuitive how to use the objects. We’re going to discuss Editors, Extensions, Verbs, Action Lists, Designers, and more. We’ll see what it takes to have your control actually ‘run’ at design-time to offer a rich, interactive experience for the end user.
If you write WinForms controls for the .NET platform, you won’t want to miss it!
