 Welcome to Mastering C# .NET Database Programming! As you might already know, .NET is poised to become the hot platform for the next wave of technology deployment. .NET's strength is that it is built from the ground up to be used in a distributed environment-in other words, an environment that consists of computers and devices connected via a network. Note The focus of this book is how you write C# programs that interact with a database. C# uses ADO.NET to interact with a database; ADO.NET is the successor to ADO. In this book, you'll learn the details of interacting with a SQL Server database. SQL Server is Microsoft's premier database software. Microsoft has pledged its commitment and resources to making .NET a pervasive component of life in our technological society-ignore .NET at your own peril. The bottom line is you need to learn .NET if you want to remain competitive in today's-and tomorrow's-marketplace. In a nutshell, .NET is a completely new framework for writing many types of applications. The applications you can write using .NET include Windows applications and Web-based applications. You can use .NET to develop systems composed of interconnected services that communicate with each other over the Internet. In addition, you can use .NET to create applications that run on devices such as handheld computers and cellular phones. Although other languages allow you to develop such applications, .NET was designed with the interconnected network in mind.  This book addresses the fundamental units of Windows and .NET programming - threads. A strong understanding of the role threads play in program execution, how multiple threads can interact in order to make efficient programs, and the pitfalls to beware of when developing multithreaded applications, are all core to a developer's ability to develop effective C# programs. This book will cover how .NET applications are executed, the life cycle of a thread in .NET, how the .NET Framework uses threads, how threads work in an event-driven environment, how we can avoid race conditions and deadlocks, how the activity of multiple threads can be synchronized, and how to debug multithreaded applications. We finish it off by describing the creation of a multithreaded network application. What is great about this book? Threads are fundamental to the way GUI and server applications operate; if your code is running in a GUI, then you're already writing code in a threaded environment. An ASP.NET page also runs in a threaded environment. This book aims to cover the tricky issues of threading in .NET, and particularly to do so from the perspective of C# developers. Threading is by nature not easy to grasp, but a necessary step towards mastery of programming for the .NET platform.  Visual C#, a feature of Microsoft Visual Studio� 2005, is a modern programming language designed to deliver a productive environment for creating business frameworks and reusable object-oriented components. Now you can teach yourself essential techniques with Visual C#�and start building components and Microsoft Windows�-based applications�one step at a time. With STEP BY STEP, you work at your own pace through hands-on, learn-by-doing exercises. Whether you�re a beginning programmer or new to this particular language, you�ll learn how, when, and why to use specific features of Visual C# 2005. Each chapter puts you to work, building your knowledge of core capabilities and guiding you as create your first C#-based applications for Windows, data management, and the Web.  Written for C# 2.0 and .NET 2.0: contains coverage of generics, Master Pages, the DataGridView, and other new features Covers Web development, Windows development, data management, security, threading, remoting, and much more Presents hundreds of non-trivial code examples that help you solve real-world problems
The Complete and Comprehensive Developer's Guide to C# 2.0 and .NET 2.0
Core C# and .NET is the no-nonsense, example-rich guide to achieving exceptional results with C# 2.0 and .NET 2.0. Writing for experienced programmers, Stephen Perry presents today's best practices for leveraging both C# 2.0 language features and Microsoft's .NET 2.0 infrastructure. Like all books in the Core Series, Core C# and .NET focuses on solving real-world problems with serious, non-trivial code. Perry's broad, deep coverage ranges from new C# generics to Web services, from reflection to security. He systematically introduces the development of Windows Forms applications and the effective use of GDI+ graphics classes. He offers detailed guidance on data management with XML and ADO.NET, plus advanced coverage of threading, remoting, and code security. Finally, Perry presents an extensive section on Web development, covering ASP.NET, state management, HTTP requests, and much more.  C# 2005 for Dummies is a thorough update of the original C# for Dummies title. The new edition brings the book up to date on C# features added in the C# 2.0 version that ships with Microsoft's new Visual Studio 2005. The book's friendly, conversational approach brings C# and new features like generics and iterators down to earth "for the rest of us." Readers with little or no programming experience can get a good start here. Readers with more experience will find this a congenial way to acquire a fine new language. Virtually every page of the original book has been updated or sometimes replaced to give you the latest cool stuff. Earlier versions of C# gave us "collections"--objects for storing lots of similar things. Now, C# 2.0 gives us the ability to write our own collections using generic constructs. Explore generics by helping OOPs, Inc., compete with its rival package shippers using their new generic priority queue collection. In C# 1.0, you could write your own iterator--an object that makes it easy to loop through a collection item by item. Now, C# 2.0 makes writing iterators much, much easier. Explore iterators by iterating anything that will hold still long enough. C# 2005 for Dummies thoroughly covers generics, iterators, and other new C# features and introduces many new features of Microsoft Visual Studio. As a bonus, you get tons of sample programs, five extra chapters, including one on using "C# on the Cheap," plus three nifty, valuable utility programs you can install and use for your own programming. And, to accompany and supplement C# 2005 for Dummies, there's a new Web site at CSharp102.com and a companion blog at CSharp102.blogspot.com. Visit soon. |
