Building Windows Applications with C# and .NET Framework (PC248)

SynopsisC# is a simple, modern, general-purpose, object-oriented programming language. It was developed by Microsoft within the .NET initiative and is one of the programming languages designed for the Common Language Infrastructure. Using C#, you can write a dynamic Web page, an XML Web service, a component of a distributed application, a database access component, or a classic Windows desktop application.

The .NET Framework is a Microsoft software framework that includes a large library of coded solutions to common programming problems and a virtual machine that manages the execution of programs written specifically for the framework. The framework's Base Class Library provides a large range of features including user interface, data access, database connectivity, cryptography, web application development, numeric algorithms, and network communications. The class library is used by programmers, who combine it with their own code to produce applications.

Course Highlight
This course is designed to give participants an introduction to building Windows applications using C# 2.0 and .NET Framework 2.0. It not only emphasizes on understanding the syntactical features of the C# language, but how to effectively use the design of the language to develop robust software. This course also focuses on .NET Framework topics useful in creating Windows applications like .NET assemblies, Windows Forms, file I/O and XML.
