Best book about authoring custom controls for Windows Forms (in C#)...

[Jason Miner]

I am an intermediate level software engineer with several years experience
in C++ and about six months experience in C#. I'm trying to ramp up on .NET,
and I'm looking for a good book about authoring custom controls for Windows
Forms (in C#). I would prefer the book to cover some GDI+ concepts as well.
I'm leaning toward , "Windows Forms Programming in C#", by Chris Sells. Does
anyone have any feedback about this book or suggestions about other books?

Thanks in advance - Jason

by far the best book I've found on this topic is the GDI+ Programming:
Creating Custom Controls Using C# by Eric White.

Jason,

I have taken a Develop Mentor C# class from Chris and enjoyed it throughly.
He explains things well and knows what he's talking about.

Thanks for the follow-up. I ended up buying Eric's book, "GDI+ Programming:
Creating Custom Controls Using C#". I had a heck of a time finding it as it
appears to be out of print.
