What This Book Covers

 
Introduction
bySimon Robinsonet al.

In this book, we start by reviewing the overall architecture of .NET in the next chapter in order to give us the background we need to be able to write managed code. After that the book is divided into a number of sections that cover both the C# language and its application in a variety of areas.

Section I - The C# Language

This section gives us a good grounding in the C# language itself. This section doesn't presume knowledge of any particular language, although it does assume you are an experienced programmer. We start by looking at C#'s basic syntax and datatypes, and then discuss the object-oriented features of C# before moving on to look at more advanced C# programming topics.

Section II - .NET Programming

In this section, we look at the principles of programming in the .NET environment. In particular, we look at Visual Studio .NET, Windows Forms (how to code up classic Windows applications that display windows , or in more modern .NET parlance, forms), and we cover how to generate your own libraries as assemblies.

Section III - Data Access

We look at accessing databases with ADO.NET, and at interacting with directories and Active Directory. We also extensively cover support in .NET for XML and on the Windows operating system side, file and registry access.

Section IV - Internet Programming

In this section, we cover writing components that will run on web sites, serving up web pages. This covers both ASP.NET and the writing of web services.

Section V - Components

Backward compatibility with COM is an important part of .NET. Not only that, but COM+ is not strictly legacy - it will still be responsible for transactions, object pooling, and message queuing. In this section we'll look at the support .NET offers for working with COM and COM+, as well as discussing how to write C# code that interacts with these technologies.

Section VI - Advanced .NET Programming

This section is the concluding part of the main body of the book and covers some miscellaneous advanced topics. These include advanced graphics with GDI+, Windows services (formerly known as NT services), remoting, and security.
