I need to teach myself Winforms and user interface programming and want a decent book that will go thoroughly into the ins and outs of how to accomplish things.

Can anyone suggest a good book?

I know C# pretty well and have messed about with Winforms in the designer before.

Thank you

I have a couple suggestions:

Programming Microsoft Windows Forms (A little dated but still worthwhile)

About Face 2.0: The Essentials of Interaction Design

Rob Windsor
I'm surprised it was published in 2005; I was looking for a good WinForms book about a year ago and didn't run into that one--all I could find was ~2002 era and nothing terribly insightful

Does "Programming Microsoft Windows Forms" cover the MVP pattern with Winforms?

Charles Petzold has written really good Windows UI development books.

If you have to program in Winforms, then "Programming Microsoft Windows Forms" is probably your best bet. But if you want to use a more current technology (WPF), then you could use "Applications = Code + Markup A Guide to the Microsoft Windows Presentation Foundation" from the same author
