C# Windows Forms User Interface Guidelines

[Developer]

Hello All,

I would like to know if there are any User Interface Guidelines for
Microsoft Windows forms, which gives me a hint on how much should the
spacing between the User controls be, how should I layout the forms
etc.

If anyone could provide me with a pointer in this regard it would be a
great help.

Regards,
Developer.

AFAIK, there is nothing that specific to Windows Forms. You'd just adhere to
the same guidelines as if you were building a Windows application using any
other technology or framework.
