Tomorrow night I have the opportunity to speak at the monthly Utah County .NET User Group meeting.  Here's a synopsis of the talk:

Delving Into the WinForms Control Designer Experience

 

The .NET framework makes writing WinForms controls accessible to any and all programmers.  In this session we’re going to focus on the control’s design-time experience; that is, what users of your controls will experience when writing software using your controls.  There is a rich set of classes and tools that can help you create slick, professional components that will make your users’ lives easier, but without knowing what they are or where to find them it can be a challenge.  Even sometimes when armed with the knowledge, it’s not always intuitive how to use the objects.  We’re going to discuss Editors, Extensions, Verbs, Action Lists, Designers, and more.  We’ll see what it takes to have your control actually ‘run’ at design-time to offer a rich, interactive experience for the end user.

 

If you write WinForms controls for the .NET platform, you won’t want to miss it!

The meeting will be held at the NuSkin building at 1175 S 350 E in Provo.  I look forward to seeing you there!
