Application Development Using C# and .NET

Build industrial-strength .NET applications with C#!

• Practical, useful information on the .NET Framework, the Common Language Runtime, ADO.NET, ASP.NET, Web Services, security, interoperability, and more
• Running case study: see how concepts work together when you build .NET applications
• Experienced C++, Java, and Visual Basic programmers: become effective with .NET!

This book gives experienced developers all the practical insight they need to build enterprise applications for Microsoft's .NET platform using C#. Using extensive code examples and a running case study, the authors illuminate the .NET concepts and technologies that offer the greatest power and value. They cover the entire process of constructing a .NET application: creating a monolithic C# console application; enhancing it with a Windows Forms interface; isolating functionality inside components, adding database access and security; and finally, delivering functionality through ASP.NET and Web Services.

• .NET Framework and Common Language Runtime fundamentals for experienced programmers
• Key .NET features: interfaces, attributes, collections, threading, remoting, assemblies, and more
• Hands-on coverage of ADO.NET, ASP.NET, Web Services, and user interface programming
