WinForms is a subset of the .NET framework designed specifically for the creation of Windows based GUIs. It allows GUI ''controls'' (such as buttons and labels) to be placed in ''containers'' (such as a form) and displayed to the user. In addition, an ''event'' handling mechanism allows the programmer to define what actions are taken when a user interacts with a control or container (for example clicking on a button or resizing a dialog). Through the use of ''properties'', the programmer is also able to control the appearance and behavior of controls and containers, for example changing the text displayed by a label.
