GDI+ Programming in C# and VB .NET (Net Developer Series) Paperback – Illustrated, 2 July 2002

It was useful for windows graphics development.

I can't rewrite the whole thing! But in short I used this book to write a world #1 product around 2002/3 when it came out, and here it is: [...]Nice and clear with real world examples in both languages that you can cut and paste to get going in GDI+. Better than the online help because it shows you how to string sequences of comands together - always a limitation in special purpose libraries. Reading Nick's examples showed me how to get some complex wider tasks done.I dare say this is getting superceded slightly as .Net progresses so check its really a GDI+ guide you need in 2008 and later. (Though having said that my own code still works on Vista after a recent modification which was to do with software security key issues rather than the graphics, which worked first time, so there is no doubt the GDI+ calls are still fully active within the overall .Net library right up to today in June 2008)Other than that coment that there may be other ways to do things in .Net now, and more recent extensions to the GDI libraries, I have no hesitation in recommending it.
