I personally recommended... Windows Forms with LINQ to BLL & DAL classes.

Split entire Project into sub modules(Class Libraries Dll's).. finally integrate it. Try to Use Microsoft Enterprise Library. see the following links :

Try to Implement some Design Patterns. see the below link for your reference

Solution 1

If you are using C# (as you indicate via the tags), you can use either Windows Forms or WPF. There's no real need to roll out your own custom UI framework. Why reinvent the wheel?

For WPF, I personally always recommend Adam Nathan's book:

You probably don't need a book for WinForms though, MSDN + a few articles online should be good enough.
