Summary: Great book but definitely not for the beginner.
Comment: I've been developing custom controls in C# for 3 months now after developing custom Java controls for years. I must say initially that this book was not much help. If you need a real beginner book that holds your hand step by step buy Petzold. However, after delving into the intricacies of Windows Forms you'll definitely find this book useful. The OutlookTab example in this book invaluable. It's a real world example and the author tackles some of the more advanced development topics. I agree with other reviewers that this book is not as clear as you would hope. Also you will definitely still need to read the MSDN docs and probably look at the some disassembly to get a good grasp of developing your own custom controls.

Rating: 3
Summary: Control design
Comment: Content and topics covered in the book are good, especially
a lot pages talking on designer. But it lacks small and complete examples like presented in other books that help to understand. Finally it presented an big example that has too many codes to read.

Rating: 3
Summary: Some useful tips, poorly produced
Comment: I bought this book based on the comments from another reviewer that stated, "For Experts Only". I disagree with that. This book is accessible to beginners and has some beginner content. The print quality looks almost photo-copied and was clearly self published. However, I applaud developers bypassing publishers. At times it presents useful content, but sometimes it reads like MSDN. I recommend that you check out Matthew McDonald's book ( User Interfaces in C#: Windows Forms and Custom Controls ).
