What’s New in WinForms 2.0
We begin our focus on WinForms development by looking at some of the new features found in WinForms 2.0. This session will take a look at some of the new UI controls that allow developers to create complex and professional looking Windows Forms applications. We’ll also spend some time showcasing the new design features found in Visual Studio 2005.

Building Data-bound Microsoft Windows Forms Applications
Working with data in your applications is a common task among developers. With WinForms 2.0 the abilities to work with your data has been greatly enhanced over previous versions of the framework. This session will focus on the new data capabilities and ehnahcements while pointing out new features such as the DataGridView control and new tools such as the enhanced DataSet designer. We’ll also explore additional data related features including asynchronous data access.

Deploying Application with ClickOnce
ClickOnce is a new application deployment technology that makes deploying a Windows Forms based application as easy as deploying a web application. This session will begin by introducing key concepts about ClickOnce, including how it figures within the range of deployment options that you now have available for .NET applications. We will than discuss the architecture behind ClickOnce and the security decisions that are involved in deploying your applications through the ClickOnce technology. We’ll than finish up the discussion by talking about the programmatic features of the ClickOnce API.
