This is the. NET book C++ developers have been waiting for: a meaty, practical guide to Visual Studio.NET programming from one of the world's leading authorities on Microsoft development.KEY TOPICS:Best-selling COM/ATL author Richard Grimes begins by reviewing the fundamental concepts that underlie the .NET Runtime, including managed vs. unmanaged code, garbage collection, the Microsoft Intermediate Language, type information, and metadata. Next, Grimes introduces the .NET Class Libraries -- first at a high level, and then with far greater detail about the libraries that will be of greatest value. Grimes covers contexts and remoting, introducing serialization, marshalling, channels and SOAP, and the role of Web services as an interoperability mechanism. Once readers are solidly grounded in .NET, Grimes turns to Visual Studio.NET: its facilities, tools, and project structure, ranging from project management issues to Web discovery. In Part III, Grimes offers comprehensive coverage of using Visual Studio.NET to build advanced applications. He presents detailed coverage of managed C++ written for experienced C++ developers; a thorough walkthrough of C++ development with WinForms designed to help developers migrate from Win32; extensive coverage of Microsoft's ATL Server and web application/service development; and finally, a full chapter on debugging.MARKET:For every experienced Windows developer familiar with Visual C++.

(NOTE: Each chapter concludes with a Summary.)

DEVELOPING APPLICATIONS WITH VISUAL STUDIO.NET is an in-depth guide that takes Windows programming to the next level: creating .NET applications that leverage the prior knowledge and experience of C++ Win32 programmers. The .NET Framework supplies programmers with rich standard run-time services, supports the development of Web-based services, and provides both inter-language and inter-machine interoperability. Programmers can now focus on creating more complex, more distributed, and more Web-enabled applications.

This book begins by describing the .NET Framework, introducing the facilities .NET offers and the classes programmers can use. It goes on to describe the tools available in Visual Studio.NET and demonstrates their use. Readers are then ready to develop and debug applications with the help of clearly illustrated examples in C# and Managed C++.

DEVELOPING APPLICATIONS WITH VISUAL STUDIO.NET covers commonly overlooked topics such as error handling, memory management, event logging, localization issues, performance monitoring, ATL Server, and Managed C++. Author Richard Grimes shares his hard-won understanding of Visual Studio.NET, emphasizing the innovations that save you time and trouble and steering you away from those that limit programming power.

Among the topics explored in-depth:

• The Common Language Runtime (CLR)
• Core classes in the Framework Class Library
• Contexts and .NET remoting
• Interoperation and COM+
• The Visual Studio.NET environment
• Creating and building solutions
• Visual C++.NET
• Application development
• Debugging

With this book as your guide, you will learn how to efficiently develop strong, robust code within .NET.

Now Stan Lippman brings you C# using his famed primer format. C# PRIMER is a comprehensive, example-driven introduction to this new object-oriented programming language.

First, the student will tour the language, looking at built-in features such as the class mechanism, class inheritance, and interface inheritance--all while building small programs. Next, the student will explore the various library domains supported within the .NET class framework while learning how to use the language and class framework to solve problems and build quality programs. Stan Lippman includes coverage of fundamentals such as namespaces, exception handling, and unified type system. He presents a wide-ranging tour of the .NET class library, introducing ADO.NET and establishing database connections and the use of XML. He provides XML programming using the firehose and DOM parser models, XSLT, XPATH, and schemas. He also focuses on ASP.NET Web Form Designer, walking through the page life-cycle and caching, and providing a large number of examples. C# PRIMER provides a solid foundation to build upon and a refreshingly unbiased voice on Microsoft's vehicle to effective and efficient Web-based programming.

Written by a leading COM authority, this unique book reveals the essence of COM, helping developers to truly understand the why, not just the how, of COM. Understanding the motivation for the design of COM and its distributed aspects is critical for developers who wish to go beyond simplistic applications of COM and become truly effective COM programmers, and to stay current with extensions, such as Microsoft Transaction Server and COM+. Box examines COM from the perspective of a C++ developer, offering a familiar frame of reference to ease you into the topic.

The Extensible Markup Language (XML) has been anointed as the universal duct tape for all software integration problems despite XML's relatively humble origins in the world of document management systems. Essential XML presents a software engineering-focused view of XML and investigates how XML can be used as a component integration technology much like COM or CORBA. Written for software developers and technical managers, this book demonstrates how XML can be used as the glue between independently developed software components (or in the marketecture terminology du jour, how XML can act as the backplane for B2B e-commerce applications).

This is one of only a few security books that target software developers. Most are directed at network administrators who want to configure their systems to avoid attacks. Yet Windows programmers have lots of tools at their disposal for securing their applications and most are completely unaware that these tools exist. The first part of the book identifies the crucial elements that a developer must master (e.g. cryptography, authentication, access control, credentials) in order to understand NT security. The second part of the book deals with application of these elements to various tools and programming techniques (COM(+), MTS, MSMQ, Active Directory).

Transactional COM+ explains how COM+ works and shows students how to use the technology to its fullest potential as a framework for developing scalable applications. It examines the theory behind COM+, why traditional object-oriented models are inappropriate for scalable systems, and the importance of transactions. This book goes beyond the rationale behind the technology and the details of its implementation to present practical, concrete guidelines for using COM+ to build applications that scale.
