Kevin's class is probably as close as you're going to get right now.

You can take a look at the Web Service articles I've done at:

http://www.west-wind.com/articles.asp

They actually talk quite a bit about Windows Forms and Data Binding (which is no different with data coming in on a Web Service or from a local source).

But also you might want to do some research on the security and versioning issues involved with WinForms applications that can cause problems for installing WinForms applications - especially shrink wrap type software. I've been very disappointed by the lack of documentation on this particular subject and the severity of the sandbox model that .NET imposes.

So for desktop apps, this is an important thing to consider.

The ideal course would include a rough draft of a "framework" as we undertand it in VFP, i.e. something that does a lot of the repetitive stuff for you, such as data binding and validation at the business object level. While it would be unfair to say "the king doesn't have any clothes", from what I have seen so far .NET is clumsy and needs tools like those. I know Kevin McNeish is working on something like that. It's a good opportunity for somebody.
