That was WinForms which is basically deprecated today. In contrary to 
the C WinAPI world the .NET GUI world changes very fast and very 
radically ^^

Here two Wikipedia articles about WPF and XAML (the XML variant used for 
the GUI elements):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Presentation_Foundation
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XAML

(I know all that, because at work we are currently switching slowly from 
Delphi to .NET :( )
