NET Programming
Course Number 4275 – 40 Hours

Microsoft's .NET Framework presents developers with unprecedented


opportunities. From 'geo-scalable' web applications to desktop and mobile
platform applications - all can be built with equal ease, using substantially the
same skill-set. But to make the most of this potential, developers must have a
thorough grasp of core language skills.
This course is intended for developers who will use Visual Basic 2008 to write
.NET Framework applications. This includes those currently working with Visual
Basic 6.0, C++ or Java.

This five-day workshop concentrates on the Visual Basic programming language


itself, to prepare delegates fully in readiness for exploring the .NET Framework.
From basic procedural syntax to sophisticated object-oriented programming
techniques, delegates will learn how to write .NET applications with code that is
robust, maintainable and efficient.
The course is presented as a mixture of lectures and hands-on exercises. Practical
sessions follow each topic, designed to reinforce the points covered. Additional
information is provided in appendices to extend the learning experience after the
course has been completed.
The course will also introduce delegates to Windows Forms, a .NET library for
creating rich client applications.

ƒ Write efficient procedural code that includes sequence, selection and iteration
constructs
ƒ Create and use classes and structures (types), including fields, properties and
methods
ƒ Use private, friend, protected and public scope
ƒ Create derived classes that inherit from custom-written or .NET Framework
classes
ƒ Create interfaces and apply techniques of polymorphism effectively and
appropriately

-1-
ƒ Build exception-handling into methods, to create robust, user-friendly
applications
ƒ Work effectively with delegates and events and understand how they operate
ƒ Work with generic types, operator overloading and other advanced language
capabilities
ƒ Make use of the major new VB2008 feature – LINQ (Language Integrated
Query)
ƒ Use attributes to configure program behavior and efficiently manage resources
ƒ Version assemblies and know how .NET searches and loads the correct DLL’s
ƒ Use Microsoft Visual Studio 2005/2008 to create a Windows Forms
application
ƒ Design user interfaces that provide help and which validate user input
ƒ Work with the new menu- and tool-strip controls
ƒ Create multi-form applications using OO best practices

ƒ Developers who require to write .NET Framework applications using Visual


Basic 2005 with Visual Studio .NET and who are new to the Visual Basic
2005 programming language. This includes those currently working with
Visual Basic 6.0
ƒ Developers who want an introduction to Windows Forms as well as the VB
language

Delegates must understand the fundamentals of programming and should have had
some prior exposure to object oriented programming techniques.
