@glasswizzard : If you really want to continue learning how to write WinForms code, I highly recommend picking up a book instead of relying on tutorials and YouTube videos. I suggest: Programming Windows: Writing Windows 8 Apps With C# and XAML (Developer Reference) 6th edition by Petzold, Charles (2013) Paperback: Amazon.com: Books

Personally, I would suggest that you should learn WPF or Xamarin instead of WinForms. WinForms is at EOL. The XAML based UI frameworks like WPF, UWP, Xamarin, and now WinUI are the path to the future for GUI programming on Windows.
 
I'm way ahead of you :) I got a book on WPF yesterday, I just want to finish one last thing on this program I'm writing (a number properties form) then I'm done with WinForms for good.
 
Also on the subject of WPF books, I just came across this. Seems like a good place for beginners to start.
