It provides examples of applications that use a variety of related technologies, including database access, dynamic web pages, advanced graphics, and directory access. The only requirement is that you are familiar with at least one other high-level language used on Windows – either C++, VB, or J++. It starts with a tutorial on C# and the .NET framework. This introduction assumes no prior knowledge of .NET, but it does move rapidly, on the assumption that the reader is an experienced programmer. Once this background knowledge is established, the book starts to sweep through the vast .NET class library, showing how you can use C# to solve various tasks. This comprehensive coverage is one of the key selling points of previous versions of the book, and is maintained and enhanced with this new edition by adding new chapters on Generics, ObjectSpaces, Yukon, and Indigo. Some reference material is included either as appendices or is available to download from the Wrox website. After the introduction and initial chapter, the book is divided into a number of sections that cover both the C# language and its application in a variety of areas. Coverage includes: • Writing Windows applications and Windows services • Writing web pages and web services with ASP.NET • Manipulating XML using C# 2005 • Understanding .NET Assemblies • Using ADO.NET to access databases • Integration with COM, COM+, and Active Directory • Distributed applications with .NET Remoting • Generating graphics using C# 2005 • Accessing files and the Registry, and controlling .NET security

Patterns, Domain-Driven Design (DDD), and Test-Driven Development (TDD) enable architects and developers to create systems that are powerful, robust, and maintainable.Показать полностьюPatterns, 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 databaseseven with other platforms, such as J2EE. Coverage includes · Quick primers on patterns, TDD, and refactoring · Using architectural techniques to improve software quality · Using domain models to support business rules and validation · Applying enterprise patterns to provide persistence support via NHibernate · Planning effectively for the presentation layer and UI testing · Designing for Dependency Injection, Aspect Orientation, and other new paradigms

Assuming no prior programming experience on the part of the reader, this primer focuses on the fundamentals of composing code with C#. It begins with variables and ends with a program that plays music (in the key of C#, no less). Topics include, for example, declaration statements, Boolean variables, instance methods, and operator overloading.

C# and .NET were made for each other. So, it seems, were Windows and Charles Petzold. Petzold’s Programming Windows, first published in 1988 and now in its fifth edition, has been the most authoritative guide to Windows development for one generation of programmers after another.Показать полностьюC# and .NET were made for each other. So, it seems, were Windows and Charles Petzold. Petzold’s Programming Windows, first published in 1988 and now in its fifth edition, has been the most authoritative guide to Windows development for one generation of programmers after another. Now, it’s joined by a new classic: his new Programming Microsoft Windows with C#. Web apps get the hype nowadays; Petzold focuses elsewhere: on the powerful .NET Windows Forms tools that enable state-of-the-art Windows development. Whether you're building traditional standalone “client” apps or front-ends for distributed systems, he guides you through the “Windows” side of .NET with unprecedented depth and insight. This isn't “Harry Potter” coding: No wizards allowed. Petzold doesn't even use the Windows Forms Designer: It can take you only so far, he says, and if you don't understand how to manually code your controls, you'll be up a creek without a paddle. Prepare to get your hands dirty. Petzold begins with the basics of Windows Forms, the essential data types required to program graphical applications, and the basics of text output. Then, he moves on to the two large collections of .NET framework classes — user and graphics — that encompass the “visual” aspects of Windows development. While these can be traced all the way back to Windows 1.0, they've been refined again — and, of course, C# and .NET change how you get at them. On the “graphics” side of the house, the book’s systematic coverage includes lines, curves, fills, pages, transforms, text, fonts, images, bitmaps, Bйzier curves, paths, regions, clipping, brushes, pens, fonts, printing, and vector graphic metafiles. On the UI side, he starts with mouse and keyboard programming (showing how to provide the oft-neglected keyboard equivalents, and raising a few thorny issues that seem to require recourse to the old Win32 API). Next, he covers all the GUI elements of a modern Windows application: buttons, labels, scrolling, dialog boxes, edit, list, and spin boxes, toolbars, status bars, tree views, list views, clipboards, and more. One more note: Whether you're writing Windows or web apps, you'll often find yourself dealing with file I/O, floating-point mathematics, and string manipulation. Each are significantly changed in the C#/.NET environment. Failing to find reliable guides to them, Petzold has written his own and included them as appendices. As Windows programming continues to evolve, one thing fortunately remains constant: Charles Petzold’s still there to explain it to us — brilliantly.
