What are windows form applications?

Windows form applications are standard applications for Windows operating system having a user interface. A windows form application usually has one or more forms containing menus and other user interface controls like buttons, text boxes, tree view, etc. Windows form applications are like any other application on Windows except that it has its own Graphical User Interface (GUI). Common examples of windows form applications include Microsoft Word, Adobe Photoshop and Winamp. Windows form applications are event based, i.e., they perform certain operations on user action. For example, Microsoft Word saves the document into disk file only when you ask the application to do so (selecting File > Save).
