How to integrate CLIPS with GUIs for .NET to design a graphical user interface in CLIPS for expert system

Question

Am writing a program with CLIPS for expert system that will diagnose symptoms and conclude the type of disease affecting a watermelon plant. Now I want to use .NET to design a graphical user interface. so that the user will just use checkboxes to select the symptoms and press an analyse button to see the predicted disease affecting the watermelon plant. Am already using console to perform the task, whereby the user will be responding with yes or no to the symptoms, thereafter the system will diagnose the kind of disease affecting the watermelon plant. so now I want to stop using console and want to use .NET. But I have a little knowledge of .NET. I've download Microsoft visual studio now and want to design the interface.

Download the CLIPS documentation and the projects for Windows. There are examples of .NET applications. The Interfaces Guide has instructions for running the examples. The wine selection example is the closest fit to the application you've described.
