Abstract

CHAPTER 35 ■ ■ ■ Y ou use the Windows Forms section of the .NET Framework to write rich-client applications (otherwise known as Windows applications). This chapter covers the initial steps of developing an application in Windows Forms. You’ll get the chance to expand the application in later chapters. ■Note We’ve written the chapters that describe this application at the same time as writing the application itself in order to present the process of application development. We’ve tried to be reasonably honest about any refactoring that was required along the way, and we’ve tried to explain our rationale for choosing specific approaches. Creating Your Application To best understand how to write Windows Forms applications, it’s useful to develop a real application. Recently, one of our test machines was running out of space on its C: drive. To try to find out what was happening, we spent some time looking in likely directories, but it wasn’t an easy task. What we really wanted was a way to see what had changed so we’d know exactly where the disk space went. The solution is an application named DiskDiff.
