Synopses & Reviews
If we were to describe the C# language and its associated environment, the .NET Framework, as the most important new technology for developers for many years, we would not be exaggerating. .NET is designed to provide a new environment within which you can develop almost any application to run on Windows, while C# is a new programming language that has been designed specifically to work with .NET.
In this book, we introduce all the key concepts of the C# language and the .NET Framework. As well as full coverage of C# syntax, there are examples of building all types of applications using C# - Windows applications and Windows services, web applications and web services with ASP.NET, and Windows and web controls. There is also full discussion of the most common .NET class libraries, such as data access using ADO.NET, and accessing Active Directory using the DirectoryServices classes.
This book covers:
-
All the features of the C# language
- Object-oriented programming in C#
- Windows applications and Windows services
- Writing web pages and web services with ASP.NET
- .NET Assemblies
- Accessing your data with ADO.NET
- Distributed applications with .NET Remoting
- Integration with COM, COM+, and Active Directory
Synopsis
.NET is Microsoft's platform for Web Services, allowing applications to communicate and share data over the Internet, regardless of operating system or programming language. Each new .NET language (VB.NET, C#) is framework-compliant (as opposed to their previous versions, which were not connected) as they are all built on .NET's Common Language Runtime. Wrox's language-specific route to .NET information means that developers can choose from a number of books written on the same .NET technology from the perspective of their chosen language.
