The System.Windows.Forms namespace contains classes for creating Windows-based applications that take full advantage of the rich user interface features available in the
Microsoft Windows operating system.
The following table shows the classes in System.Windows.Forms namespace grouped into categories.

Details
Control
, User Control,
and Form
Most classes within the System.Windows.Forms namespace derive from

the Control class. The Control class provides the base functionality for all
controls that are displayed on a Form. The Form class represents a window
within an application. This includes dialog boxes, modeless windows, and
Multiple Document Interface (MDI) client and parent windows. You can also
create your own controls by deriving from the UserControl class.
Menus and
Toolbars
Windows Forms contains a rich set of classes for creating your own custom
toolbars and menus with modern appearance and behavior (look and
feel). ToolStrip, MenuStrip, ContextMenuStrip, and StatusStrip can be used to
create toolbars, menu bars, context menus, and status bars, respectively.
Controls
The System.Windows.Forms namespace provides a variety of control classes

that you can use to create rich user interfaces. Some controls are designed for
data entry within the application, such as TextBox and ComboBox controls.
Other controls display application data, such as Label andListView. The
namespace also provides controls for invoking commands within the
application, such as Button. The WebBrowser control and managed HTML
classes, such as HtmlDocument, let you display and manipulate HTML pages
within your managed Windows Forms application.
TheMaskedTextBox control is an advanced data entry control that lets you
define masks that automatically accept or reject user input. Additionally, you
can use the PropertyGrid control to create your own Windows Forms Designer
that displays the designer-visible properties of the controls.
Layout
Several important classes in Windows Forms help control the layout of

controls on a display surface, such as a form or control. FlowLayoutPanel lays
out all the controls it contains in a serial manner, and TableLayoutPanel lets
you define cells and rows for laying out controls in a fixed
grid.SplitContainer divides your display surface into two or more adjustable
parts.
Data and Data

Binding
Windows Forms defines a rich architecture for binding to data sources such as
databases and XML files. The DataGridView control provides a customizable
table for displaying data, and lets you customize cells, rows, columns, and
borders. The BindingNavigator control represents a standardized way to
navigate and work with data on a form; BindingNavigator is frequently paired
with the BindingSource control to move through data records on a form and
interact with them.
Components
Besides controls, the System.Windows.Forms namespace provides other

classes that do not derive from the Control class but still provide visual features
to a Windows-based application. Some classes, such
as ToolTip and ErrorProvider, extend the capabilities or provide information to
the user. With the Help and HelpProvider classes, you can display Help
information to a user of your applications.
Common
Dialog Boxes
Windows provides several common dialog boxes that you can use to give your
application a consistent user interface when performing tasks such as opening
and saving files, manipulating the font or text color, or printing.
The OpenFileDialog and SaveFileDialog classes provide the functionality to
display a dialog box that lets the user locate and enter the name of a file to
open or save. The FontDialog class displays a dialog box to change elements of
the Font used by your application. The PageSetupDialog, PrintPreviewDialog,
and PrintDialog classes display dialog boxes that enable the user to control
aspects of printing documents. For more information about printing from a
Windows-based application, see theSystem.Drawing.Printing namespace.
Besides the common dialog boxes, the System.Windows.Forms namespace
provides the MessageBox class for displaying a message box that can display
and retrieve data from the user.
There are several classes within the System.Windows.Forms namespace that provide support to the classes mentioned in the previous summary. Examples of the supporting
classes are enumerations, event argument classes, and delegates used by events within controls and components.
Caution
Classes within the Windows Forms namespace are not supported for use within a Windows service. Trying to use
these classes from within a service may produce unexpected problems, such as diminished service performance and
run-time exceptions.
If you are using .NET Framework version 1.1 or .NET Framework 1.0 and you must make your Windows Forms
application support Windows XP visual styles, make sure that you set the FlatStyle property of your controls
to FlatStyle.System and include a manifest with your executable file. A manifest is an XML file that is included
either as a resource within your application executable file or as a separate file that resides in the same directory as
the executable file. For an example of a manifest, see the Example section for the FlatStyle enumeration. For more
information about how to use the visual styles available in Windows XP, see "Using Windows XP Visual Styles in
the User Interface Design and Development" in the MSDN Library. By default visual styles are enabled for the
.NET Framework versions 1.1, 1.2, and 2.0.
