an exhaustive guide and reference for GDI+ developers,
This review is from: Pro .NET 2.0 Graphics Programming (Expert's Voice in .NET) (Paperback)
Excerpt from C# Online.NET (CSharp-Online.NET) Review: "For those who might want a book dedicated only to topics directly related to custom control development, there may be disappointment.... The coverage of GDI+ topics is exhaustive. This makes the book an excellent introduction and reference to GDI+."

This review is from: Pro .NET 2.0 Graphics Programming (Expert's Voice in .NET) (Paperback)
If you are looking for a book on how to create GDI graphics then this book is definitely for you. It covers every topic you need to create your graphic designs on forms and images. It does not go into detail on sending the image to a web page, but that is just serializing the image and there are many topics that can be found on Google that will show you that. The chapters are arranged by topic, it explains each sub topic with an example and at the end of the chapter it also explains how to improve performance! One extra thing this book has is a couple of chapters on how to write custom window forms controls. If you where ever thinking about designing you own controls this book is a must have on how to create custom controls from entry level through advance topics! One last thing don't think that this book is only for .NET 2.0 [...]

A Nice GDI+ Reference,

This review is from: Pro .NET 2.0 Graphics Programming (Expert's Voice in .NET) (Paperback)
I got this book since I need to do some .net development that includes a degree of graphics work.I skimmed through the book (over several hours) yesterday and I think everything that I was looking for was included and explained. The style of the book lends itself to use as a reference since the examples are in the context of the topic being discussed. The book also includes a fair number of tips on how to improve the performance of graphic processing programs, and the included design suggestions focus on building custom controls which will be more maintainable and trouble free. A found the book to be well written and the concepts to be well explained. I would recommend this book to any .net programmer who needs a GDI+ reference.
