Programming Windows and Smart Client Applications with .NET: Hands-On

Creating Applications with Windows Forms
 
Course: 509   Type: Hands-On Training   Duration: 4 Days
 
 

You Will Learn How To

  • Program Windows and smart client applications with C# and Visual Basic
  • Design rich graphical user interfaces (GUIs) using advanced .NET controls
  • Employ the .NET Framework for serialisation, file I/O, multithreading and globalisation
  • Accelerate data binding with generics and ADO.NET DataSources
  • Leverage ClickOnce for easy application deployment
  • Create custom and user controls for rapid application development

Course Benefits

Windows applications installed over the Web--smart clients--provide a rich user interface, the ability to exchange data over networks, and are nearly as easy to deploy and manage as Web applications. This course provides the skills to design, program and deploy Windows Forms applications with VB and C#. You also learn to create custom controls, bind to XML and databases, and access data over the Internet via Web services.

Who Should Attend

Windows programmers moving to .NET from VB, C++, Java or other environments and Web developers adding smart clients to applications. Programming experience is assumed.

Hands-On Training

Exercises offer experience creating smart clients with VB or C#. Exercises include:
  • Programming MDI and Outlook-style applications
  • Designing interfaces with DataGridView, ListView, TreeView and ErrorProvider
  • Employing multiple threads
  • Globalising forms, accessing resource files and saving user settings
  • Binding to XML and database data
  • Creating and consuming Web services
  • Configuring ClickOnce deployment
  • Creating custom and user controls
