C#101: Introduction to Visual Studio & C#, Programming for the .NET
Description |
Visual Studio 2008 adds a large set of new functionality for the Visual Studio developer. From new language features, including LINQ (Language Integrated Query), to new client-side data support, Visual Studio 2008 and the .NET Framework 3.5 make it easier than ever to create robust, enterprise-level applications. You will learn how to build solid applications using structured exception handling, how to use the Visual Studio debugging features, how to use MenuStrip and ToolStrip controls, and how to add unprecedented flexibility to your user interfaces using the container controls. As you continue through this course you will learn about important development topics that aren't normally covered in a beginning Windows application programming course such as an introduction to .NET interoperability, using .NET Serialization, Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), and drawing your own user interfaces using the System.Drawing namespace. You will dig deeper into the most complex of Visual Studio's built-in controls, the DataGridView control, Windows Communication Foundation (WCF), using ClickOnce, Windows Workflow Foundation (WF), and many more topics that will extend your knowledge, your capabilities, and your value as a developer.
In this course you will...
- Learn about creating Windows Forms applications
- Understand how to trap Windows Forms events
- Investigate the many Windows Forms controls
- Work with debugging features
- Learn the role of DataSets and DataTables in ADO.NET
- Understand error handling using Exception objects
- Create flexible user interfaces using new container controls
- Learn to create MDI applications and application using Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF)
- Interoperate between managed code and COM components.
- Communicate using XML Web Services, and Windows Communication Foundation (WCF).
- Install applications using ClickOnce technology.
- Save and restore nearly any object to a stream using serialization.
- Create and execute workflows, using Windows Workflow Foundation (WF).
- Take advantage of Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) to add features to the .NET Framework.
- Manage printers, and create free-form documents.
- Display and edit data using DataGridView control.
- Create owner-drawn controls and non-rectangular forms using the GDI+ and the System.Drawing namespace.
- Create managed applications for Office 2007 products using Visual Studio Tools for Office (VSTO).
