Features of a reliable WinForm application

[Based on the strong comment below (dated April 7 and 8, 2010) from the moment I originally posted this question, I carefully studied what I wrote and asked myself: “Yeah, what am I really here for?” I decided that decisive action should be taken: abandon the source text, make the question easier and cleaner and focus on the fact that I really want to get rid of it. So, here is the new version of the question of May 3, 2010]

Everyone "knows" what a clean, reliable and easy-to-use WinForm application is. But what exactly? Here is my starting list. You may not agree with all of these (some people, for example, really dislike gratuities per day), which is good, but it gives you a general idea.

  • About Dialog Box
  • Popups
  • Screensaver
  • Tip of the day
  • checking for updates
  • Saved settings in calls
  • Progress bar for long operations

What else would you include?

Usability is much more than what you are talking about above.

For example, a component installed in .NET for WebForm can be used by a specific type of user, and not by another, based on any number of human factors affecting user productivity.

Usability is the understanding of your user and his context of use to optimize the design of your system to maximize the performance of your users.

The above is very narrow in terms of usability. Maybe if you tell us something about the type of user, then the above work will be more important for him. In addition, it’s best for you to back up your items above because usability is measurable and you don’t want to uphold the recommendations of the developer community that are not being followed.

But it’s good that you are interested in usability. Therefore, please continue to study this area.
