It may seem ridiculous but I am unable to find a good book or tutorial on this subject. I want to do my project using forms, but don't even have the idea that how the objects of my classes will be related to the controls. I have done Visual Basic, but there, it was too easy to use the controls.
I need the knowledge of the different properties of different items in the toolbox (Different controls, menus and toolbar,containers etc)and how we utilize them with our classes.

Solution 2

If you want to use forms and your background is in Visual Basic then you could go for VB.NET or C#. Lots of articles and tutorials to be found. Which one is best is for you to decide.

Actually,I am currently learning object oriented programming and the language is C++. I will start C# but only after I have got command on C++.

In addition to other solutions, if you are familiar with .NET or learning it, this book can also help:
Pro Visual C++/CLI and the .NET 3.5 Platform
by Stephen R. G. Fraser

There are chapters like "Basic Windows Forms Applications" and "Advanced Windows Forms Applications" which describe the use of controls in a convenient manner, but using .NET.
