Winform standards for UI Design? Help.

Question

Hi there - we are doing the switch from ASP.NET to Winform/Smart Client development.  The main thing we are struggling with is the proper ways to design the user interface...i.e. standards for design, layout, etc.

Can anyone help with this....I know that 2.0 will have some new design features, but we want best practices - guidelines.

Thank you

Hi,

The following article on MSDN Mag offers an excellent starting point:

You can also download TaskVision - sample with source code to demonstrate best practices for Windows Forms based applications:

Is there a similar article, but for Web Applications?  I need a good UI guidelines article.  Thanks for your time!
