This article is a sad, sad little stub. Can anybody flesh out some extra information? See the article on MFC for an idea.
The MdiContainer Property of a Windows Form seems to be very similar to the Document/View architecture of MFC. I think the note to the contrary is wrong.
Some comments after reading (except the obvious small size):
- The MVC comment is a bit strange. If you look at the MVC page, only webapps have strict V-C separations, and for that we have ASP.NET. All other application widget set roughly treat it the same as Winforms.
- Vista part, and connection to WPF. Is WPF a sucessor, competing technology? Will Winforms become (slow) GDI+?
Is this a correct explanation for the Swing-link? "Swing, the equivalent GUI application programming interface (API) for the Java programming language" I think, from a programming point of view, it might be correct, but technically, it's something completely different (since WinForms is native and Swing is drawing everything by itself).
