"Window Data Entry application" is a broad term.
If it's a academic project, you can use WPF.
If it's a enterprise application, read and use WPF, MVVM. You can use any of the available MVVM framework such as Prism, Cinch, Caliburn etc.

you need to learn how to create UI for data entry, how you can save the data and retrieve data etc..
check below article
Social Club: Sample application using WinForms, C#.NET, ADO.NET and MS Access[^]
try to do it with the help of article documentation and the code. you will get idea about basic concepts. then try to implement your requirement.

thanks!
Create your database or data store to hold the results of your data entry.
create a winforms project
create a form, adding the fields for your user to enter the data
create a save button
when the user clicks the save button get the value of the fields and write them to the data store
clear out the values ready for the next data entry
add a close button to allow the user to close you application.

Easy stuff, there may be some extra bits like validation and lookup needed as well.

Step1:Open the Sln file in visual studio,which upgrades the version of the sln

Step 2:Debug and see how this works line by line.

Step 3:Once you are done ..start modifying the application for your needs or recreate your own similar winform.

that article is using 3rd party component. I think that is not good starting point for beginner.
