What is WinForms?

Windows Forms (WinForms) is a GUI (Graphical User Interface) framework for creating desktop applications that run on Windows. It provides a managed, object-oriented set of classes for building rich user interfaces. Developers can create forms, add controls like buttons, text boxes, and labels, and handle events to build interactive applications. It is commonly used for developing traditional Windows desktop applications, such as utilities, data entry applications, and custom business software.
