Description: This hands-on course examines advanced features of the C# language and the .NET Framework. The course quickly examines object-oriented programming topics, including controlled inheritance through sealed and abstract classes and the use of cross language inheritance. Students will then learn about new features from .NET 2.0 such as partial classes and generics. Students will learn about many of the .NET interfaces and how they can take advantage of them. Students will learn to create assemblies built from single or multiple modules and deploy them for private or shared access. The course will explore how managed code can interact with unmanaged code via features like PInvoke services and Runtime Callable Wrappers. The students will learn to create multiple threaded applications and explore some of the issues that threading introduces to application development. The course examines how advanced features of ADO.NET classes are used to provide support for transaction management, connection pooling, and the creation of internal disconnected DataSets. New features found in ADO.NET 2.0 will also be examined. Students will use delegates to support event handling and to create custom callback functions. The course illustrates how reflection can be used to query an assembly's metadata and to create smart clients. Students will learn to create and use of Web Services and will explore advanced topics such as secure Web Services and passing custom data types. Students will see how .NET Remoting can be used to communicate between two .NET applications. The course will also examine the security capabilities of the .NET programming model and students will be able to adjust the .NET security policy. Other topics include: how and why to override System.Object methods; when to use the String vs. StringBuilder types; implementation vs. interface inheritance, n-tiered application development choices; .NET collections; thread synchronization; and creating and using custom attributes. Comprehensive hands-on lab exercises using Visual Studio.NET reinforce instructor lectures and build direct competence in the topics presented throughout the course.

Prerequisites: C# programming experience.
