How to design UI

[Reza Alirezaei]

I'm going to start a windows-form application ,but I am not very familiar
with techniques in windows-forms.I'm an ASP.NET developer and pretty
familliar with a lot of things like user controls,Framework and libraries
around.I was thinking about strating with a sample to design the UI of my
application.I don;t want it to be a lot fancy ,but it should be decent
too,because it will make the skeleotn of my app.Dose anyone can guid me to a
sample or refence to do so?

Thanks

a good idea, if you have no knowledge and no times to read book is to launch
VS.NET, start a winform application project and, drag control from the
toolbox on your form, link a few event (from the property tab) and read the
auto-generated code.

BTW WinForm development is much simpler & powerfull & homogeneous (it's all
in C#) than ASP.NET development, so you should be able to pick it up quite
easily....

Sorry,if I didn't explaint what I want. I really know how to drop the
controls on the forms and bluh bluh ,I'd like to design a good UI with
side-bars ,wizard sort of forms and stuff like this.That's why I am looking
for a template to get the idea or probably change it in a way that can be
used in my case.

Thanks

Not an easy one IMO. Try to google for "windows ui design" for sites such as
http://msdn.microsoft.com/ui.

Most of us are likely also looking at existing similar dialogs in other
applications to see what they like and what they dislike to build their own
dialog...

Good luck.
