Hi

Can anyone give some advice on how to create nice professional looking
User Interfaces (with nice looking buttons to click etc).

I'm quite new to c# and read from a Microsoft Website on the
subject :-
The System.Drawing namespace provides access to GDI+ basic graphics
functionality. More advanced functionality is provided in the
System.Drawing.Drawing2D, System.Drawing.Imaging, and
System.Drawing.Text namespaces.

If using these namespaces is the best and quickest way please could
someone advise a tutorial to do, or a a book on the subject if that is
what it takes to build a nice looking form.

Thanks
David
 
Using System.Drawing is the hardest possible way to create a nice
looking UI that I can think of (next to calling the GDI functions in
WinAPI of course). The WPF API is much easier for making a nice
looking UI.

Hi

Does that mean I will have to download and learn about Microsoft
Silverlight?

Also I'm not try to do a form for the web yet so is Silverlight still
the best application to use.

thanks for all you help
cheers

I've using C# VS Express - I don't suppose anyone knows of any good
basic tutorials so that I can easily make some nice buttons and a nice
shaded backgroup with a text box.

cheers
