Description
This is a complete guide to .NET specifically for every experienced Visual C++ developer who wants to start building high-performance .NET applications. Using its extensive examples -- and the book-length case study it shares with other books in the Integrated .NET Series -- programmers can leverage their existing Visual C++ skills as they master essential aspects of .NET development. The authors show how .NET can help Visual C++ developers achieve their Web development goals more effectively, and introduce the powerful new concept of Web Services. They describe the .NET framework, the Common Language Runtime, and the language-independent nature of .NET development; then introduce .NET's Managed Extensions for C++, which allow developers to integrate new and legacy code simply and effectively. The book also includes detailed coverage on .NET graphical user interfaces, the Base Class Library, .NET security, component deployment and versioning, database programming using ADO.NET and XML, high-performance Web Services development, and SOAP.
