We would also like to thank Abigail Sawyer and Una McCormack, who not only helped review the manuscript, but also put up with us during the writing process.

The .NET Windows Forms in a Nutshell for Visual Studio .NET CD (see http://examples.oreilly.com/netwinformian)is the work of many individuals. Mike Sierra of O'Reilly converted the System.Windows.Forms namespace references to Microsoft Help 2.0 format and added the XML tags needed to integrate their content with the Visual Studio .NET Dynamic Help system. He was assisted by Lenny Muellner and Erik Ray. Greg Dickerson and the O'Reilly Tech Support group tested each prerelease build of the software. Kipper York and Shane McRoberts of the Microsoft Help team provided invaluable technical assistance at critical moments, and Eric Promislow of Active State built the install package that makes our Help files an integral part of the Visual Studio .NET developer environment. Frank Gocinski of the Visual Studio .NET third-party integration program was instrumental in making us full VSIP partners. A special tip of the hat as well to Rob Howard who understood our original vision and helped us make the right connections to get this project off the ground.
