The forms that you add to your projects become the windows of your completed VB.NET Solution! Chapter 15 of our text book, Microsoft Visual Basic Step by Step is the first of a three chapter 'set' that are all about forms. It's also the first chapter in Part Four, Advanced User Interface Design. The importance of forms in programming, and especially Windows programming, is illustrated by the fact that three of the four chapters in Part Four of the book are dedicated to forms. This is an important subject!

In fact, even with three full chapters, the book might still understate the importance of forms in VB.NET. The problem we have in learning about forms is similar to the problem we had in Chapter 12 where we studied text files and string processing, "there is literally so much that all we can do is 'explore' a bit. It's really impossible to go into detail about everything."
