Providing you with the ultimate guide to the C# language, this book will help you quickly write your own programs while also getting you up to speed on how the .NET architecture works. It not only covers the fundamentals of C# but presents numerous examples of applications that use a variety of related technologies, including database access, advanced graphics, and directory access.

You'll first find a comprehensive tutorial that takes you through C# 2005 and the .NET 3.0 Framework, enabling you to begin writing managed code. Next you'll explore the vast .NET class library and discover how to use C# to solve various tasks. You'll then see how to utilize Visual Studio® 2005 to create applications based on .NET. And you'll gain the skills needed to build Windows Forms, Windows Services, web pages, and more.

MS Visual C# 2005 includes several enhancements to earlier versions of the language. If you want to learn the new features of the language, Programming MS Visual C# 2005: The Language offers detailed explanations of each improvement. One of the most awaited additions to the .NET environment is generics. Other additions include anonymous methods, static classes, and new classes that affect garbage collection. This book introduces these new features, provides context, and displays sample code.

Enhancements are not limited to the language. The MS Visual Studio IDE has also been enhanced in Visual Studio 2005. MS continues to expand upon the impressive assortment of rapid application development (RAD) tools that are available. The Exception Assistant, code snippets, and visualizers are some of the more notable advancements, where the emphasis is on providing helpful information that markedly increases developer productivity. This book details these and other improvements to previous versions of Visual Studio.

In this book, you’ll learn everything you need to master ASP.NET 2.0. If you’ve programmed with a previous version of ASP.NET, you’ll sail through the basics and quickly begin learning about the exciting new features in version 2.0. If you’ve never programmed with ASP.NET, you’ll find that this book provides a well-paced tour that leads through all the fundamentals, along with a backstage pass that lets you see how the ASP.NET internals reallywork.

The only requirement for this book is that you have a solid understanding of the C# language and the basics of .NET. If you’re a seasoned Java or C++ developer but you’re new to C#, you may find it easier to start with a book about .NET fundamentals before you read this one. Try C# and the .NET 2.0 Platform,Third Edition for a comprehensive introduction or, for a quicker start, read A Programmer’s Introduction to C# 2.0,Third Edition.

This book is logically divided into five distinct sections, each of which contains some number of chapters that somehow "belong together." If you read the first edition of this text, you will notice some similarities in chapter names however, be aware that just about every page has been updated with new content.

You will also notice that some topics in the first edition (such as .NET delegates) have been moved into an entire chapter of their very own. Of course, as you would hope, the second edition contains several brand new chapters (such as an exploration of .NET Remoting, and a much deeper examination of ASP.NET).

This book shows you how to write programs that run under M'zoft Windows. There are a number of ways to write such programs. In this book. I Use the new object-oriented programing language C#(pronounced "C sharp") and a moderm class library called Windows Forms. The Windows Forms class library is part of the M'zoft .NET("dot new") Framework unveriled in the summer of 2000 and intreduced about a year and a half later.

The M'zoft .Net Framework is an extensive collection of classes that provides programmers with much of what they need to write internet, Web, and Windows applications. Much of the media coverage of .NET has focused on the Web programming. This book discusses the other part of .NET.You use Windows Forms to write traditional stand-alone Windows applications (what are now somietimes called client applications) or front ends for distributed applications.

Patterns, Domain-Driven Design (DDD), and Test-Driven Development (TDD) enable architects and developers to create systems that are powerful, robust, and maintainable. Now, there’s a comprehensive, practical guide to leveraging all these techniques primarily in Microsoft .NET environments, but the discussions are just as useful for Java developers.

Drawing on seminal work by Martin Fowler (Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture) and Eric Evans (Domain-Driven Design), Jimmy Nilsson shows how to create real-world architectures for any .NET application. Nilsson illuminates each principle with clear, well-annotated code examples based on C# 1.1 and 2.0. His examples and discussions will be valuable both to C# developers and those working with other .NET languages and any databases–even with other platforms, such as J2EE. Coverage includes

Organized in a practical problem-and-solution format, More Exceptional C++ picks up where the widely acclaimed Exceptional C++ leaves off, providing successful strategies for solving real-world problems in C++. Drawing from years of in-the-trenches experience, Herb Sutter provides tested techniques and practical solutions for programmers designing modern software systems with C++, from small projects to enterprise applications.

Built around forty programming puzzles, More Exceptional C++ helps you understand the rules and issues critical to successful software design and development in C++. New themes included in this sequel place a strong emphasis on generic programming, memory management, and using the C++ standard library, including coverage of important techniques like traits and predicates. Also included are guidelines and considerations to remember when using standard containers and algorithms–topics rarely covered in-depth in other sources.

Mastering the development of Microsoft .NET Framework applications in C# is less about knowing the C# language and more about knowing how to use the functionality of the .NET Framework class library most effectively. Visual C# 2005 Recipesexplores the breadth of the .NET Framework class library and provides specific solutions to common and interesting programming problems. Each solution (or recipe) is presented in asuccinct problem/solution format and most are accompanied by working code samples.

Visual C# 2005 Recipes is not intended to teach you how to program, nor to teach you C#. However, if you have even the most rudimentary experience programming applications built on the .NET Framework using C#, you will find this book to be an invaluable resource. Ideally, when you are facing aproblem, this book will contain arecipe that provides the solution, or at least it will point you in the right direction. Even if you just want to broaden your knowledge of the .NET Framework class library, Visual C# 2005 Recipesis the perfect resource to assist you.
