In this book you learn everything you need to know about developing C# applications that access databases. If you are wondering why this is such an important topic, just consider how many applications use the functionality. At first glance, you might notice a few specialized ones such as Windows applications to view and edit human resources data or Web applications that display recent sport results. Look a bit deeper, however, and you quickly find that the vast majority of applications use database data in one form or another, even if it isn�t immediately obvious.

This book is the perfect starting point to learn about databases, and particularly about using MS SQL Server from .NET 2.0 applications written in C#. Over the course of the book, you learn the fundamentals of database technology, how the .NET Framework can be used to access databases, and how to get the most out of your code. Along the way you are presented with numerous helpful, easy-to-follow examples that demonstrate the techniques you need. Each example increases your understanding of a particular subject, and often provides you with tips and tricks that you can adapt to different contexts in the future. Each chapter also includes exercises to reinforce key concepts, the answers to which are found at the back of the book.

The main idea behind the book is to present you with a solid understanding of the basics of database access in C#. You�ll also be exposed to many possibilities for future development. You will often learn about quite complicated techniques, but they are broken into simple steps and carefully explained. These explanations provide an appreciation for what is possible, and prepare you for handling additional resources about these subjects when you�ve finished the book. And you�ll be able to do that without facing instant despair at attempting to learn about a completely new subject because you�ll already know the basics of what you are doing.

This book is aimed at people who already have at least a basic understanding of .NET development with C# and who want to learn about databases and database access. The C# code used in the examples in this book is described in detail only in cases where it is quite advanced, or where it�s an area you might not have looked at before. However, no experience with databases is assumed, so the database code you write (using ADO.NET) is explained from first principles. Databases themselves are explained, as well as the SQL language used to access them. This book is perfect for you if the word �database� is one that you�ve heard only in passing.

The C# programming language is a powerful, relatively new descendant of the earlier C, C++, and Java languages. Programming with it is a lot of fun, as you�re about to find out in this book.

The goal of this book is to explain C# to you, but to write actual programs you need a specific coding environment. We�re betting that most readers will be using Microsoft Visual Studio, although we do provide alternatives. In basing the book on Visual Studio, we�ve tried to keep the Visual Studio portions to a reasonable minimum. we could just tell you, �Run your program any way you want,� but instead we may say, �Execute your C# program from Visual Studio by pressing F5.� We want you to be able to focus on the C# language and not on the mechanics of getting simple things to work.

We�ve made this book as easy to use as possible. Figuring out a new language is hard enough. Why make it any more complicated than it needs to be? The book is divided into six parts. Part I introduces you to C# programming with Visual Studio. This part guides you step by step in the creation of two different types of programs. We strongly encourage you to start here and read these two chapters in order before branching out into the other parts of the book. Even if you�ve programmed before, the basic program framework created in Part I is reused throughout the book.

This book is designed to help experienced programmers into the C# language. It covers all the relevant concepts of C# from a finance viewpoint. In the preparation of this book a small standalone futures and options trading application was written to cover all of the sections of C# that are relevant to finance and the code from the application is used throughout the book to illustrate the topics covered.

The key points covered are focused on building a Windows application in a finance environment. With this in mind there are some sections of C# that have been omitted, for example it is unlikely that C# would be used to connect to exchanges thus in-depth coverage of sockets and TCP/IP package handling has not been included.

The operators, data types and controls are covered to begin with as they form the core section of programming. Object Oriented programming is dealt with in depth from a practical approach and the commonly used concepts are covered. The emphasis of the book is in applying C# to finance and thus it does not cover each topic to its full depth as there are aspects of C# rarely used in financial applications.

In addition to the Object Oriented section, ADO.NET and the simpler I/O sections that may apply to a Windows application are covered along with some basic XML as many financial applications share data using XML.

On its own, C# simplifies network programming. Combine it with the precise instruction found in C# Network Programming, and you'll find that building network applications is easier and quicker than ever.

This book helps newcomers get started with a look at the basics of network programming as they relate to C#, including the language's network classes, the Winsock interface, and DNS resolution. Spend as much time here as you need, then dig into the core topics of the network layer. You'll learn to make sockets connections via TCP and "connectionless" connections via UDP. You'll also discover just how much help C# gives you with some of your toughest chores, such as asynchronous socket programming, multithreading, and multicasting.

Network-layer techniques are just a means to an end, of course, and so this book keeps going, providing a series of detailed application-layer programming examples that show you how to work with real protocols and real network environments to build and implement a variety of applications. Use SNMP to manage network devices, SMTP to communicate with remote mail servers, and HTTP to Web-enable your applications. And use classes native to C# to query and modify Active Directory entries.

Rounding it all out is plenty of advanced coverage to push your C# network programming skills to the limit. For example, you'll learn two ways to share application methods across the network: using Web services and remoting. You'll also master the security features intrinsic to C# and .NET--features that stand to benefit all of your programming projects.
