C♯ Network Programming

On its own, C♯ simplifies network programming. Combine it with the precise instruction found in C♯ Network Programming, and you'll find that building network applications is easier and quicker than ever. This book helps newcomers get started with a look at the basics of network programming as they relate to C♯, including the language's network classes, the Winsock interface, and DNS resolution. Spend as much time here as you need, then dig into the core topics of the network layer. You'll learn to make sockets connections via TCP and "connectionless" connections via UDP. You'll also discover ju.;C♯ Network Programming; Acknowledgments; Contents at a Glance; Contents; Introduction; Who Should Read This Book; How This Book Is Organized; Keeping Up to Date; Chapter 1: The C♯ Language; Chapter 2: Ip Programming Basics; Chapter 3: C♯ Network Programming Classes; Chapter 4: Dns and C♯; Chapter 5: Connection-Oriented Sockets; Chapter 6: Connectionless Sockets; Chapter 7: Using The C♯ Sockets Helper Classes; Chapter 8: Asynchronous Sockets; Chapter 9: Using Threads; Chapter 10: Ip Multicasting; Chapter 11: Icmp; Chapter 12: Snmp; Chapter 13: Smtp; Chapter 14: Http.

On its own, C# simplifies network programming. Combine it with the precise instruction found in C# Network Programming, and you'll find that building network applications is easier and quicker than ever.

This book helps newcomers get started with a look at the basics of network programming as they relate to C#, including the language's network classes, the Winsock interface, and DNS resolution. Spend as much time here as you need, then dig into the core topics of the network layer. You'll learn to make sockets connections via TCP and "connectionless" connections via UDP. You'll also discover just how much help C# gives you with some of your toughest chores, such as asynchronous socket programming, multithreading, and multicasting.

Network-layer techniques are just a means to an end, of course, and so this book keeps going, providing a series of detailed application-layer programming examples that show you how to work with real protocols and real network environments to build and implement a variety of applications. Use SNMP to manage network devices, SMTP to communicate with remote mail servers, and HTTP to Web-enable your applications. And use classes native to C# to query and modify Active Directory entries.

Rounding it all out is plenty of advanced coverage to push your C# network programming skills to the limit. For example, you'll learn two ways to share application methods across the network: using Web services and remoting. You'll also master the security features intrinsic to C# and.NET--features that stand to benefit all of your programming projects.

This book covers everything C# programmers need to know to create network applications, a task traditionally done in C++. It explores the basics of network programming, including IP and TCP protocols, and moves on to targeted C# instruction, including using the C# network programming classes in the .NET framework. In its short history, the Microsoft .NET technology has quickly become a popular programming platform for developing applications for Microsoft Windows workstations and servers.
