Accelerated C# 2005 teaches you both how to use core C# language
concepts and wisely employ C# idioms and object-oriented design
patterns--to exploit the power of C# and the common language runtime.
You'll quickly master C# syntax while learning how the CLR simplifies
many programming tasks. You'll also learn best practices that ensure
your code will be efficient, reusable, and robust.
This book is the fastest path to C# mastery for anyone familiar with
object-oriented programming. Many books introduce C#, but very few also
explain how to use it optimally with the .NET CLR. Why spend months or
years discovering the best ways to design and code C#, when this book
will show you how to do things the right way, right from the start?
You'll want a copy of this book because it

- Covers all new features of C# 2.0
- Describes and explains C# idioms and design patterns
- Presents canonical forms for C# classes and structs
- Quickly leads to true understanding and mastery of C#

Pro Visual Studio 2005 Team System Application Development brings Visual
Studio 2005 Team System to life. You'll learn how to effectively use
Team System to develop new functionality for large distributed systems.
The book accomplishes this not just by describing the Team System
features, but also by leading you through a fictitious, though
realistic, project.
The project takes place in a large, distributed organization with a mix
of existing systems. Risks exist in the possible disruption of the
current business enterprise system, and careful planning and phasing of
deliverables are necessary. New and modified applications must work with
existing parts of the system as iterations of the project move through
testing to deployment, in order to bring the project to a successful
conclusion.
While the project progresses, in-depth discussions explain the use of
the features by the various members of the team and the features'
interactions. The author provides highly detailed examples and
discussions, including exploration of the design, coding, and test
stages. The further you read, you'll see how to develop portions of the
application--some coded in C# and some in Visual Basic--together with
their tests, installation tools, and design artifacts.

Language Integrated Query (LINQ) is Microsoft's new technology for
powerful, general purpose data access. This technology provides a
fully-integrated query language, available in both C# 3.0 and VB 9.0,
for high-level data access against objects, relational databases, and
XML documents. In this Short Cut you'll learn about LINQ and the
proposed C# 3.0 extensions that support it. You'll also see how you can
use LINQ and C# to accomplish a variety of tasks, from querying objects
to accessing relational data and XML. Best of all, you'll be able to
test the examples and run your own code using the latest LINQ CTP,
available free from Microsoft. This Short Cut includes a complete
reference to the standard LINQ query operators.

A fast-paced and practical developer's road map to working with Windows
WF, from compilation to the base activity library to runtime services.
Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) is a technology for defining,
executing, and managing workflows. It is part of the .NET Framework 3.0
and will be available natively in the Windows Vista operating system.
Windows Workflow Foundation might be the most significant piece of
middleware to arrive on the Windows platform since COM+ and the
Distributed Transaction Coordinator. The difference is, not every
application needs a distributed transaction, but nearly every
application does have a workflow encoded inside it. In this book, K
Scott Allen, author of renowned .NET articles at www.odetocode.com,
provides you with all the information needed to develop successful
products with Windows Workflow. From the basics of how Windows Workflow
can solve the difficult problems inherent in workflow solutions, through
authoring workflows in code, learning about the base activity library in
Windows Workflow and the different types of workflow provided, and on to
building event-driven workflows using state machines, workflow
communications, and finally rules and conditions in Windows Workflow,
this book will give you the in-depth information you need. Throughout
the book, an example "bug reporting" workflow system is developed,
showcasing the technology and techniques used. Fast-paced and
to-the-point, this book takes you through the important topics of
Windows WF development with clear explanations and practical example
code. The book's selection of topics is driven by what the working
developer needs to know. It is neither a comprehensive reference to the
whole WF architecture, nor a strategy guide to the complete application
development lifecycle. It's just what you as a C# developer need to know
to use WF in your applications. This book is for .NET developers who
want to enhance their applications with flexible workflow capabilities
using Microsoft Windows Workflow Foundation. The author assumes that you
have read other texts on the overall architecture of WF and on WF
application design strategies, and instead focuses on real-work
implementation issues for C# developers.

increase your programming expertise by guiding you through the
development of fully working C applications that use what you've learned
in a practical context. You'll also be able to strike out on your own by
trying the exercises included at the end of each chapter. Pick up a copy
of this book by renowned author, Ivor Horton, because it
- It is the only beginning-level book to cover the latest ANSI
standard in C
- Is approachable and aimed squarely at people new to C
- Emphasizes writing code after the first chapter
- Includes substantial examples relevant to intermediate users.

In this book, Windows programming legend Charles Petzold covers in
parallel the two interfaces that make up the Windows Presentation
Foundation (WPF). From the outset, the reader can shift focus seamlessly
between Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML) and C# to see them
as flip sides of the same processes. Beginning in the first chapter,
Petzold presents the general syntax of the XAML and corresponding
programming code with numerous illuminating examples on how the two
correspond and interrelate. The book builds on this base, providing the
classic Petzold Windows user interface (UI) treatment, to show Windows
developers how to create next-generation interfaces for their
applications.

Have you ever spent hours coding workflow for your applications? If so,
the new Microsoft Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) technology will make
your life easier. Foundations of WF: An Introduction to Windows Workflow
Foundation introduces you to using Visual Studio 2005 and the Windows
Workflow Foundation (part of Windows Vista) to create workflow packages.
The book begins by giving you an overview of Windows Workflow
Foundation. Then it introduces and shows examples of the various types
of workflow that can be created. You'll discover the power of WF. You'll
learn about all the prebuild activities you can include in your
workflow, along with how to create your own activities. WF is fully
extensible and allows you an unlimited number of options for your
workflow. You'll also learn how to use workflow activities to retrieve
data, and finally, how to tie an ASP.NET application with a workflow
built in WF. This book, unlike most of the Microsoft WF samples, has
code in both VB .NET and C#. All the examples--and there are many--have
VB .NET code, and many have the accompanying C# code. This book will
allow you to begin creating new workflow applications easily in either
VB .NET or C#. Each chapter includes an introduction to one or more
activities that make up WF, along with examples of how to use each
activity. Many chapters include a final section providing a real world
example (a purchase order system). This book will have you using WF to
create workflow applications with VB .NET or C# in a short amount of
time.

As one of the hottest programming languages in use today, C# enables you

C++ is the language of choice for thousands of applications and millions
of lines of code. With C++/CLI, developers can integrate existing C++
code into the .NET platform without rewriting their applications. This
book explores the C++/CLI syntax, teaches how to mix native C++ and
managed .NET code, and shows how to integrate C++ with Windows Forms,
WPF (Avalon), and WCF (Indigo). Imagine taking a C++-based program
you've been using for a decade and giving it a snazzy new interface
using Windows Presentation Foundation. How about making your old
business applications talk to your new ones using Windows Communication
Foundation. C++/CLI makes this--and more--possible. C++/CLI in Action
shows you how to bridge the gap between your existing C++ code and the
.NET platform. C++/CLI in Action will help you if:

- You're hesitant to migrate to .NET because it means rewriting code
in C# or VB.
- You have significant C++ expertise that you want to leverage in the
.NET.
- You only need to use pieces of the .NET framework, such as Windows
Forms or web services. There's no fluff here. Designed for readers who
already know C++, this book starts by teaching the unique aspects of the
C++/CLI language. After a quick tour through the basics, readers work
through examples of integrating standard C++ into the .NET-based
applications and building programs that mix C++ and .NET code for
maximum performance and efficiency.

How do the experts solve difficult problems in software development? In
this unique and insightful book, leading computer scientists offer case
studies that reveal how they found unusual, carefully designed solutions
to high-profile projects. You will be able to look over the shoulder of
major coding and design experts to see problems through their eyes.

This is not simply another design patterns book, or another software
engineering treatise on the right and wrong way to do things. The
authors think aloud as they work through their project's architecture,
the tradeoffs made in its construction, and when it was important to
break rules. Beautiful Code is an opportunity for master coders to tell
their story. All author royalties will be donated to Amnesty
International.

The most up-to-date and comprehensive introductory ASP.NET book you’ll find on any shelf, Beginning ASP.NET 3.5 in C# 2008 guides you through Microsoft’s latest technology for building dynamic web sites. This book will enable you to build dynamic web pages on the fly, and it assumes only the most basic knowledge of C#.

The book provides exhaustive coverage of ASP.NET, guiding you from your first steps right up to the most advanced techniques, such as querying databases from within a web page and tuning your site for optimal performance. Within these pages, you’ll find tips for “best practices” and comprehensive discussions of key database and XML principles you need to know in order to be effective with ASP.NET. The book also emphasizes the invaluable coding techniques of object orientation and code behind, which will start you off on the track to building real-world web sites right from the beginning--rather than just faking it with simplified coding practices.

By the time you’ve finished the book, you will have mastered the core techniques and have all the knowledge you need to begin work as a professional ASP.NET developer.

SP.NET 3.5 is the latest version of Microsoft’s revolutionary ASP.NET technology. It is the principal standard for creating dynamic web pages on the Windows platform. Pro ASP.NET 3.5 in C# 2008 raises the bar for high-quality, practical advice on learning and deploying Microsoft’s dynamic web solution.

Seasoned .NET professionals Matthew MacDonald and Mario Szpuszta explain how you can get the most from this groundbreaking new technology. They cover ASP.NET 3.5 as a whole, illustrating both the brand-new features and the functionality carried over from previous versions of ASP. This book will give you the knowledge you need to code real ASP.NET 3.5 applications in the best possible style.

The book will teach you ASP.NET 3.5 starting with core concepts to more advanced topics. You will learn

* Core concepts of ASP.NET 3.5. Why it’s special. What it’s fundamental principals are. The basics of Visual Studio. How ASP.NET 3.5 controls are created, and how they fit into ASP.NET 3.5 pages, ultimately creating full applications
* Data access details. The intricacies of ADO.NET and how to perform data binding to many sources from databases to file streams to XML. We include LINQ coverage so you’re on the bleeding edge
* Security. Once considered the Achilles heel of all Windows web applications, security has vastly improved and is a cornerstone of ASP.NET 3.5. This section explains the various forms of available security, and how to best apply them
* Taking things further using advanced user interface techniques. This includes user controls, customer server controls, client-side JavaScript, and GDI+.
* Web services. In an increasingly connected world, working with web services grows in importance. This book will show you how to work with them.
* ASP.NET AJAX, with an emphasis on comtemporary web development techniques
* Development using Internet Information Services 7, Microsoft’s premier web hosting platform.
* And much more.

LINQ is the project name for a set of extensions to the .NET Framework that provide a generic approach to querying data from different data sources. LINQ will premier in Visual Studio 2008, and will become the next must-have skill for .NET developers. For more information about LINQ, you can check out the author’s portal at www.linqdev.com.

Pro LINQ: Language Integrated Query in C# 2008 is all about code.

Literally, this book starts with code and ends with code. In most books, the author shows the simplest example demonstrating how to use a method, but they so rarely show how to use the more complex prototypes. Pro LINQ: Language Integrated Query in C# 2008 is different. Demonstrating the overwhelming majority of LINQ operators and protoypes, it is a veritable treasury of LINQ examples.

Rather than obscure the relevant LINQ principles in code examples by focusing on a demonstration application you have no interest in writing, Pro LINQ: Language Integrated Query in C# 2008 cuts right to the chase of each LINQ operator, method, or class. However, where complexity is necessary to truly demonstrate an issue, the examples are right there in the thick of it. For example, code samples demonstrating how to handle concurrency conflicts actually create concurrency conflicts so you can step through the code and see them unfold.

Most books tell you about the simple stuff, while few books warn you of the pitfalls. Where Pro LINQ: Language Integrated Query in C# 2008 returns your investment is in the hours, and sometimes days, spent by the author determining why something may not work as expected. Sometimes this results in an innocent looking paragraph that may take you a minute to read and understand, but took days to research and explain.

Face it, most technical books while informative, are dull. LINQ need not be dull. Written with a sense of humor, Pro LINQ: Language Integrated Query in C# 2008 will attempt to entertain you on your journey through the wonderland of LINQ and C# 2008.

What you’ll learn

* How to leverage all the new LINQ relevant C# 2008 language features including extension methods, lambda expressions, anonymous data types, and partial methods.
* How to use LINQ to Objects to query in-memory data collections such as arrays, ArrayLists, and Lists to retrieve the data you want.
* Why some queries are deferred, how a deferred query can bite you, and how you can make deferred queries work for you.
* How to use LINQ to XML to revolutionize your creation, manipulation, and searching of XML data.
* How to query DataSets with LINQ to DataSet so you can co-exist with legacy code and use LINQ to query databases other than SQL Server.
* How to query Databases with LINQ to SQL, write your own entity classes, and understand how to handle concurrency conflicts.
