With the spread of web-enabled desktop clients and web-server based applications, developers can no longer afford to treat security as an afterthought. It's one topic, in fact, that .NET forces you to address, since Microsoft has placed security-related features at the core of the .NET Framework. Yet, because a developer's carelessness or lack of experience can still allow a program to be used in an unintended way, Programming .NET Security shows you how the various tools will help you write secure applications.

The book works as both a comprehensive tutorial and reference to security issues for .NET application development, and contains numerous practical examples in both the C# and VB.NET languages. With Programming .NET Security, you will learn to apply sound security principles to your application designs, and to understand the concepts of identity, authentication and authorization and how they apply to .NET security.

If you program with ASP.NET will also learn how to apply security to your applications. And the book also shows you how to use the Windows Event Log Service to audit Windows security violations that may be a threat to your solution. Authors Adam Freeman and Allen Jones, early .NET adopters and long-time proponents of an "end-to-end" security model, based this book on their years of experience in applying security policies and developing products for NASDAQ, Sun Microsystems, Netscape, Microsoft, and others. With the .NET platform placing security at center stage, the better informed you are, the more secure your project will be.

Programming .NET Security was written for two groups of people. First, we wrote for the architects and designers of .NET applications who must understand the capabilities and limitations of .NET security to factor them into their designs and plans. Each chapter in Parts II, III, and IV begins with a detailed discussion that describes the technology but does not go to the level of discussing individual classes and methods.

Second, we wrote for all C# and Visual Basic .NET programmers who want to know how to use the features of the .NET Framework to write more secure applications. Following a technical introduction, each chapter in Parts II, III, and IV contains a detailed explanation of how to program the features of the .NET Framework being discussed; numerous code samples accompany these sections to clarify the points being made. Specifically for advanced programmers, our discussions of code-access security and cryptography contain fully worked examples on how to extend the .NET Framework security mechanisms.

This book is focused on .NET Framework security programming; we assume no prior exposure to the .NET security classes, but expect the reader to have basic experience as a competent C# or Visual Basic .NET programmer.

Welcome to the second edition of Professional Crystal Reports for Visual Studio .NET. Crystal Reports is one of the world�s leading software packages for creating interactive reports that can be integrated into a wide range of Windows and Web applications. With more than four million licenses shipped, Crystal Reports is the leader among Windows report writers. Crystal Reports has been in the Visual Studio box since 1993, but with the introduction of Visual Studio .NET 2002, a new version, Crystal Reports .NET, was integrated more closely than ever before. And with the release of Visual Studio .NET 2003, the bar has been raised even higher, with tighter integration and more reporting options. This book will detail the functionality provided with Crystal Reports for Visual Studio .NET 2003 and how, when, and where you should integrate reports into your .NET applications.

This book does not attempt to be all-inclusive, and it will not teach basic .NET techniques. To be able to deliver a functional guide to Crystal Reports for Visual Studio .NET, we assume that you have a grasp of essential programming techniques � in this case, a knowledge of programming in Visual Basic .NET and experience using Visual Studio .NET � and that you can apply these skills to a new technology.

This book is for programmers who want a comprehensive guide to the functionality included with Crystal Reports for Visual Studio .NET. It�s assumed that you have some knowledge of .NET and experience with Visual Studio .NET.

It is mainly aimed at readers who have some experience with Crystal Reports. However, this edition has been specifically updated to include a large section on report design, which can assist new users in learning how to create their own reports. This title should also prove valuable for readers who are new to reporting in general and who want a guide to this free reporting tool they�ve discovered within Visual Studio .NET.

This book covers the features of Crystal Reports for Visual Studio .NET that you�ll find yourself using time and again to build complex reports and integrate them into different .NET applications. We start by explaining how Crystal Reports fits into the .NET platform and how it differs from previous versions of Crystal Reports.

As the .NET Framework and Common Language Runtime (CLR) continue to mature in terms of platform adoption, robustness, reliability, and feature richness, developers have an increasing need to understand the foundation on top of which all managed code runs. This book looks at the underlying platform commonalities that all developers can use, regardless of language choice or development tools. This includes languages such as C#, Visual Basic, C++/CLI, and others.

You'll begin with an in-depth look at CLR fundamentals. From there, you'll review first the Base Class Libraries (BCL) and then the more advanced Framework libraries that are commonly used in most managed applications. With an abundance of working code examples and unique depth of coverage, this book will quickly get you up to speed on what the .NET Framework and CLR 2.0 have to offer.

This book is for developers experienced either with the Microsoft (.NET 1.x, Win32, or COM) or Java platforms who want to understand and program with the .NET Framework and CLR.

This book is appropriate for any .NET developer who needs to interoperate between .NET code and non-.NET Windows code. You may be an experienced .NET developer who has never had the need to interoperate with native code before. Or you may be completely new to .NET and are just learning the languages and class libraries associated with .NET. In either case, this book is for you.

Most of the examples in this book are presented in both C# and Visual Basic .NET (VB.NET). You will be able to understand the examples as long as you know one of these languages. But this book isn’t designed to teach you alanguage. Likewise, you should already be familiar with the basics of the .NET Framework Class Library (FCL). You don’t have to be aguru, but you should at least know the basics.

Since the book is all about interop with existing code, the examples also typically use one ormore native Windows languages. For example, the chapters covering the use of C-style functions use examples written in native C++ code. The chapter that focuses on the use of COM components presents Visual Basic 6.0 (VB6) and C++ ATL example components that are used by .NET client code. These same native languages are later used as client code when managed classes are exposed to COM.

While unmanaged code is used extensively in the examples, it is not the primary focus of this book. So if you know VB6 but don’t know C++, that’s OK—you’ll still benefit from the examples. Most of the .NET code works the same way regardless of the unmanaged language used. If there are differences, they are noted in the examples.

Likewise, the chapters covering COM and COM+ assume that you are already familiar with these technologies. This is not abook about learning COM and COM+, but it will show you how to use COM and COM+ from .NET.

C# 2005 has enjoyed huge success in the year since its launch, firmly establishing itself as the premier language for development on Microsoft's successful .NET 2.0 platform. With the launch of the .NET 3.0 extensions in early 2007, the horizons of this language are being extended, and it is becoming even more powerful as it is able to leverage the new .NET 3.0 Foundations.

Discover how to build service-oriented applications on the .NET Framework with this comprehensive guide to Microsoft’s Windows Communication Foundation (WCF). It walks you through all of WCF’s features and functionality and then shows you how to apply this information so you can create robust service solutions that are reliable and secure.
