Connected applications. Rich clients. Smart Clients. Windows applications. Great looking applications. Higher productivity applications.
Whatever you call them, there is a whole world of application development beyond what you can do with HTML and the browser.
Joe Stegman, lead program manager on the Windows Forms team takes you through a bunch of demo applications that were built with Visual Studio 2005 and the next Windows Forms technology.
One of the applications he demos here is a clone of MSN Messenger. Another is a really cool looking RSS News Aggregator.
Make sure you don't miss the second part of this demo where Joe shows off how you can build an app that looks suspiciously like Microsoft Outlook 2003.
What do you think? Are you looking forward to building applications like these?

It makes perfect sense to build a toolbar like we configure toolbars in Office. It makes perfect sense to make apps look like just another Office app.
I read on someone's blog the other day that around 50%+ developers are using .NET.
I belive those who haven't move over yet will find it really hard to resist to VS2005.
I was thinking while watching why would I want to build an outlook clone..... then Joe answered that question. Which really does make sense!
Good Work!
It's still a little hard to hear the interviewer....great video other wise.
Very great idea. I've been hoping for something as close as this to get released for some time.
Why doesn't Microsoft just take the initiative, and make deals with television station providers/broadcasting companies and have them work out ways to get their content DIRECTLY onto Windows Media Center?
If users could have the ability to pick and select the TV shows and channels that ONLY they WANT to keep, this would have a big impact on the way we watch TV. No more having to depend on cable/satellite companies to offer good content at a good price. Like most people, we want choices, but bundling a lot of TV programs in several packages, with you having to pay more and more for stuff you might never want just to reach the channel you do want, is ridiculous. Going 'a la carte' is becoming much more popular. Unfortunately, if cable/satellite companies offered this mode of TV viewing, they would make less money off of us.
Anyways, MiraWorldTV is a start. Maybe someday, we can actually see real support for letting you have options in a good way.
But...
Can you guys make me a ControlList or something? I find myself wanting to make a 'list of controls', sort of like a custom-drawn listbox, but instead of having to write all that paint logic I can just point the list at a control type (or fill the list with controls). That way I could have a button list, etc.
You do make great strides in this direction though. I'm currently abusing the FlowLayoutPanel to do just what I've described. But having to wire up event handlers for resizing can get to be a pain (god forbid I, a developer, actually write any code! <g>).
Is all this Whitby functionality going to be available in the Express versions?
I think us channel9 boyz should all get access to the vs2005 betaplace
Yeah, we should.
agreed.
Very cool, now we can all produce professional looking user interfaces and spend the rest of the time writing the business logic, well done and thank you.

Is it datagrid, listview,.....?
where can I find this source code sample on:
http://www.windowsforms.net/" target="_blank">http://www.windowsforms.net ? Do you have an URL?
Do you have a similar sample for VS2008?
