The System.Windows.Forms namespace provides all the necessary methods, classes, and events for writing a complete GUI application. It contains large number of classes with which you can build powerful user interfaces for your applications.

Notepad is widely used for writing source code. You can also use Visual Studio.NET for the same purpose. It comes with Visual C#. NET to simplify your programming tasks.
