Applied Microsoft® .NET Framework Programming (Pro-Developer)

This title takes advanced developers and software designers under the covers of .NET to provide them with an in-depth understanding of its structure, functions, and operational components so they can create high-performance applications for .NET more easily and efficiently. Developers learn to program .NET applications while gaining a solid understanding of fundamental .NET design tenets. This title not only covers the infrastructure and architecture of .NET in-depth but also shows developers the most practical ways to apply that knowledge.

The Microsoft® .NET Framework allows developers to quickly build robust, secure ASP.NET Web Forms and XML Web service applications, Windows® Forms applications, tools, and types. Find out all about its common language runtime and learn how to leverage its power to build, package, and deploy any kind of application or component. APPLIED MICROSOFT .NET FRAMEWORK PROGRAMMING is ideal for anyone who understands object-oriented programming concepts such as data abstraction, inheritance, and polymorphism. The book carefully explains the extensible type system of the .NET Framework, examines how the runtime manages the behavior of types, and explores how an application manipulates types. While focusing on C#, it presents concepts applicable to all programming languages that target the .NET Framework.

Topics covered include:

• The .NET Framework architecture
• Building, packaging, deploying, and administering applications and their types
• Building and deploying shared assemblies
• Type fundamentals
• Primitive, reference, and value types
• Operations common to all objects
• Type members and accessibility
• Constants, fields, methods, properties, and events
• Working with text
• Enumerated types and bit flags
• Array types
• Interfaces
• Custom attributes
• Delegates
• Error handling with exceptions
• Automatic memory management
• AppDomains and reflection
• Includes coverage of C#

Aimed at experienced developers and designers, explains the structure, functions, and operational components of Microsoft's .NET framework.
