Advanced Foundations of Microsoft .NET Development (MOC 2957)

Introductie

This three-day instructor-led course provides students with the enabling knowledge and skills required to create Microsoft .NET Applications with Visual Studio 2005. Students learn how to develop secured .NET applications.

Doelgroep:

The audience for this course consists of Application Developers with the skills to develop business applications by using Visual Studio 2005 with either Visual Basic .NET or Visual C#.

Voorkennis:

Before attending this course, students must have an understanding of:

• The purpose and components of the .NET 2.0 Framework and the Common Language Runtime, the components of typical .NET 2.0 applications and the .NET Framework 2.0 Common Type System (CTS).
• Decision structures, loop structures, declaring and using variables.
• Handling classes and objects, methods, properties and functions and overridden methods.
• Exceptions, static methods and properties.
• Handling solutions, projects, files and project types.
• Carry out basic project debugging and deployment.

Important: This learning product will be most useful to people who are already working in the job role of an application developer and who intend to use their new skills and knowledge on the job immediately after training.

Module 2: Working with GDI+ in Windows-based Applications

In this module, students learn how to use the Graphics Device Interface (GDI+) in applications that are based on Windows Forms by using the .NET Framework.

• Working with Graphics, Brushes, Pens, Colors, and Fonts
• Manipulating the Shapes and Sizes of Graphical Objects
• Working with Images, Bitmaps, and Icons
• Lab: Working with GDI+ in Windows-based Applications

Module 3: Implementing Code Access Security

In this module, students learn about the code access security mechanisms that can help protect applications not only against untrusted users, but also against some of the subtler problems of malicious code, which may be executed unsuspectingly by trusted users.

• Configuring Code Access Security
• Managing Security Policy
• Managing Permissions
• Managing Access Control
• Managing User Identity Information
• Lab: Implementing Code Access Security

Module 4: Implementing Cryptography

In this module, students learn about the new cryptographic types offered by the .NET Framework 2.0, and significant enhancements to the existing types that support symmetric and asymmetric encryption and hashing. Students also learn how to use cryptographic types in .NET Framework applications to ensure secure communication and the protection of sensitive data.

• Encrypting Data
• Hashing Data
• Extending the Cryptographic Behavior
• Lab: Implementing Cryptography

Module 5: Interoperating Between COM Components and Assemblies

In this module, students learn how to create .NET Framework applications that can communicate with COM components and unmanaged DLLs. Students also explore how to use COM components in a .NET Framework application and design your .NET Framework application so that it can be called by a COM component.

• Accessing COM Components by Using Interop Services
• Exposing an Assembly to COM Components by Using Interop Services
• Accessing COM Components by Using Platform Invocation Services
• Lab: Interoperating Between COM Components and Assemblies

Module 6: Working with Service Applications and E-mail Messages

In this module, students learn how the .NET Framework simplifies the process of creating service applications by providing the classes necessary to create, install, debug, and monitor service applications. Students also learn how to send e-mail messages from your service application.

• Working with a Windows Service Application
• Working with E-mail Messages
• Lab: Working with Service Applications and E-mail Messages

Module 7: Working with Type Metadata

In this module, students learn how to retrieve the type metadata for an assembly. Students also learn how to use attributes to control the metadata that is created for their assembly. Finally, students also learn how to dynamically create assemblies at runtime by using the builder classes in the System.Reflection namespace.

• Working with Type Metadata by Using Pre-defined Assembly Classes
• Working with Assemblies Dynamically by Using Custom Classes
• Lab: Working with Type Metadata 

Module 8: Creating Multithreaded Applications and Application Domains

In this module, students learn about several classes in the System.Threading namespace, provided by the .NET Framework, to manage threads of execution.

• Managing Threads in a Synchronous Environment
• Synchronizing Threads
• Managing Threads in an Asynchronous Environment
• Working with Application Domains
• Lab: Creating Multithreaded Applications and Application Domains
