Скачать или смотреть Modern Desktop UI Effects Without WPF or Third-Party Libraries

WinForms doesn’t have to look old — and in this series, I’ll prove it.

In Episode 1, we build a modern hover glow button from scratch using WinForms on .NET 10 and Visual Studio 2026.
No WPF. No XAML. No third-party UI libraries.

This video is the foundation for an entire Control Effects series, where we create reusable, high-performance visual effects like glow, neon, motion, and animated UI feedback — all using pure WinForms.

✨ What you’ll learn in this episode
How to create a smooth hover glow effect in WinForms
How to use custom painting (GDI+) for modern UI visuals
How to structure effects so they are reusable and extensible
How to build a clean GlowEffect base architecture used in future episodes
How modern .NET 10 improves WinForms performance and rendering

🚀 Why modern .NET WinForms?

WinForms itself isn’t outdated — the old runtime was.
With modern .NET (and especially .NET 10), WinForms gets:
Better performance
Improved DPI handling
Modern tooling in Visual Studio 2026
A future-proof runtime
Everything you see here works with the WinForms API you already know.

🔥 This series is for you if:
You think WinForms can’t look modern
You want CSS-like visual effects (glow, pulse, trails) in desktop apps
You want full control without external UI frameworks
You care about clean, reusable code, not hacks

Here are some good books in my opinion, some of which I own myself.
Since I speak German as well as English, books for both languages are available.
However, I think that it is a great advantage to know the English language, especially in terms of programming.
