VS201 - Visual Studio 2005 ADVANCED BOOTCAMP

Duration

3 Days

Introduction

Elements of this syllabus are subject to change.

This course in .NET programming provides students with the knowledge required to enhance existing or develop new applications using advanced .NET techniques. This course consists of nine chapters or modules that are a mix of lecture/discussion and hands on labs. The 50/50 mixture gives the student maximum time with the instructor as
well as hands-on experience with the .NET concepts covered. Using Microsoft Visual Studio 2005, students will explore advanced .NET concepts using either VB.NET or C#. Students will enhance the Airline Reservation System (ARS) application that was initially developed in the VS105 Bootcamp. The application is designed to give students a hands-on opportunity to explore the concepts covered in the lecture/ discussion portion of each Module.

At Course Completion

After completing this workshop, students will be able to:

  • Use Advanced .NET techniques to develop .NET Applications
  • Develop applications that follow the OO methodology.
  • Provide users with applications that prove Drag and Drop support.
  • Develop applications that utilize Multiple Threads.
  • Create Custom Windows Controls
  • Create Custom Web Controls
  • Use Dynamic ASP.NET Master Pages
  • Create a custom ADO.NET Dataset
  • Use XML Operations on a Dataset
  • Create XML Readers and Writers
  • Develop advanced/custom XML Web Services

Prerequisites

  • VS105 or Experience with topics covered in the VS 2005 Bootcamp
