Wrox publisher has a book out called "Professional Windows Forms" that I would recommend. In addition, have you checked out the Visual FoxPro Toolkit for .NET found at:

http://www.gotdotnet.com/team/vfp/

The Visual FoxPro Toolkit for .NET is a class library with over 225 Visual FoxPro 7.0 functions for use with any .NET language.

>I've been playing around with C# and Crystal Reports.NET in the .NET development environment. I come from VFP-land, and I've had a bit of a struggle with the .NET environment, particularly with something I didn't anticipate - learning the WinForm controls and their PEMs.

>Case in point...I was building a demo form with a pageframe and a few pages...and really struggled how to do things like ...

>MyPage.ActivePage = 2 [to set the current page programatically)...

>I'm having trouble with other controls as well, just in learning how the things I would do with VFP text boxes, combo boxes, etc. can be brought forward into WinForms.

>Maybe I'm just so used to the VFP environment, the specific property names for controls, and the types of references like Tamar's 'Hacker's Guide.' The .NET documentation hasn't really been as helpful as I would have thought, though I might be missing something.

>Is there a really good reference available for WinForm controls?
