GUI Applications Development Using .NET
Framework
A user interface is the means by which a user interacts with
an application.
User interaction in a windows-based application is
accomplished through Windows Forms and controls.
The purpose of GUI Applications Deelopment Using .!"T
Framewor# is to proide the student with a hands-on
enironment in which they will learn the core s#ills of
$icrosoft Windows Forms application deelopment.
Rationale
Slide 2 of 24 Session 1 Ver. 1.0
Framework
In this session% you will learn to&
Appreciate the graphical user interface
Identify the controls of graphical user interface
Identify the features of .!"T Framewor#
Use 'isual (tudio .!"T integrated deelopment enironment
to create and e)ecute Windows pro*ects
Objectives
Framework
The two ways of interacting with an application are&
+y using ,haracter User Interface -,UI.
+y using Graphical User Interface -GUI.

In ,UI% the user interacts with a system by #eying in
commands.
The following figure shows the sample output of a
,UI application.
A GUI proides a picture-oriented or graphical
way of interacting with the system.
The following figure shows a sample output of a GUI
application.

Users need not remember the lines of synta).
$ost of the commands can be e)ecuted using the mouse.

A typical application screen contains components such as
buttons and te)t bo)es.
These components enable you to enter information and
customi/e other parameters. These components are called
controls.
The following figure shows a GUI application with arious
controls such as label% button% te)tbo)% and combo bo).

Two of the most important features of the Windows
enironment that enable applications to interact effectiely
with the user are&
"ent-Drien 2rogramming&
+ased on user3s input% an eent gets generated and the
corresponding code is e)ecuted.
Dynamic 4in#ing&

run time.

The .!"T offers a complete suite for deeloping and
deploying applications.
This suite consists of the&

T"e .NET Framework
$icrosoft has introduced 'isual
(tudio .!"T% which is a tool for
deeloping .!"T applications by
using programming languages
such as 'isual +asic% 'isual ,5%
and 'isual ,66.
These products aim at allowing
deelopers to create numerous
applications.

T"e .NET Framework #$ont.%
$icrosoft has come up with its own
set of Web serices% #nown as $y
(erices. These serices are
based on the $icrosoft 2assport
Authentication serice% which is
used in Web applications such
as 7otmail.
This serice allows users to access
data by lin#ing calendars%
phoneboo#s% address boo#s% and
personal references to the passport

It is the foundation on which you
design% deelop% and deploy
applications.
It is a consistent and simplified
programming model that helps you
to easily build robust applications.

The following figure shows the different components of
the .!"T Framewor#.
$omponents o& t"e .NET Framework
,48 is the
enironment where all
programs using
.!"T technologies are
e)ecuted.
The ,48 allows the
e)ecution of code
across different
platforms by
translating code into
Intermediate
4anguage -I4..
I4 is a low-leel
language that the
,48 understands.
At the presentation
layer% .!"T
proides three types
of user interfaces.
They are
Windows Forms%
Web Forms% and
