Hi experts,

I'm a web developer that is used to working with ASP.NET
In ASP.net , applications use either the Web Forms model or the MVC model.

I'm now building my skills on Windows Forms desktop applications.

I was wondering....

What are the different application models that can be used in creating a Windows Forms application using Visual Studio 2010 and VB as the code behind?

Which model is the best to use?

Thanks for any information you can give me.

Hi,
Are you interested in classic Windows application or also considering WPF. I will advise to adopt WPF instead of classic Windows Form.
