New Book Makes Building Custom Controls with Visual C Effortless

Building custom controls can be an intimidating subject to approach given the huge amount of information that needs to be absorbed. Knowing how and where to start can be a lengthy and time consuming process, however with the announcement of a new book on the subject this process has been streamlined; considerably reducing start-up time.



While some developers can get away without ever needing to build custom controls, many don'st, or don'st want to. Sometimes building a custom control is a necessity, because what you want to achieve doesn;t exist, or is too expensive to buy. This is particularly true for controls with customized shapes, which need to be drawn instead of reusing other existing controls.



In some other cases, developers build custom controls as part of their architecture, allowing them to reuse more efficiently common functionality (and code) that they trust and like. There are many circumstances where building a custom control can make a programmer's8217;s life easier.



Unfortunately, programmers frequently avoided learning how to build custom controls because learning all the complexities consumes lots of time and energy. Comprehensive and advanced books on the subject well exceed 1,000 pages, and the excessive amount of information can indeed be intimidating.



GDI+ Custom Controls with Visual C# 2005 takes a lighter approach, guiding you step-by-step into building your first custom controls, and writing quality code. This book is a great resource for existing programmers looking to get productive in the field of user interface design and increase the efficiency of their existing products explains author Adam Ward. You'sll build a new example in each chapter, and by the end of the book you'sll build a completely functional custom control where you's8217;ll apply most of what you's8217;ve learned in the book he concludes.



GDI+ Custom Controls with Visual C# 2005 is published by Packt and is due for release in July, 2006. For more information, please visit http://www.packtpub.com/Csharpcontrols/book
