I demonstrate most of the topics I cover using sample code. Throughout the book, you'll find a mix of small examples and complete sample programs. All of the sample programs are provided in the form of Microsoft Visual Studio projects built with the October Technology Preview of Visual Studio 2005. The samples that accompany this book can be downloaded from the Microsoft Press site at http://www.microsoft.com/learning/books/products/6895/ The samples will be updated as needed. To build and run the samples, you'll need a machine running a version of Windows that's supported by Visual Studio 2005, such as Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003, or Windows XP. This book assumes that you have a working knowledge of Microsoft .NET Framework programming and a familiarity with the C# programming language. In addition, many of the samples are written in a combination of managed and unmanaged code. As a result, a background in native C++ programming will enable you to get the most from the samples. |
