-Filled with practical examples that show how to incorporate .NET functionality into legacy applications in order to make them more productive-Demonstrates clearly how various .NET classes provide either a new ability not found in MFC, or a markedly improved way of doing something-Explains how developers can start to use .NET today without abandoning their current skill set
The fast track for programmers to learn the ins and outs of VC++ .NET through code examples, practical tips, and professional insights. Written by a Microsoft regional director, this book provides programmers moving from Visual Studio 6 to .NET and non-Microsoft developers maximum learning with minimum investment of time and effort.
Mastering Visual Studio .NET provides you, as an experienced programmer, with all the information needed to get the most out of the latest and greatest development tool from Microsoft®. It doesn't matter if you're an MFC, C++, STL, ATL, COM, Win32, Visual Basic, C#, HTML, XML, ASP.NET, database, web application, Web service, NT service, stand-alone client, or component programmer targeting Windows® or one of the Windows variants (i.e. Windows CE or the PocketPC) -- this is the book that will help you master the toolkit.Written by experienced developers and trainers John Flanders, Ian Griffiths, and Chris Sells, Mastering Visual Studio .NET begins with fundamental information about maximizing the power of Visual Studio .NET as it comes out of the box, including the following topics: projects and solutions files and the various file editors debugging web projects database projects setup projects To experience the full spectrum of functionality and extensibility, Mastering Visual Studio .NET provides you with the practical depth and detail needed to best put these features to work. The second section of the book is about extending VS.NET to suit your specific needs: integrating controls and components with VS.NET the VS.NET automation object model macros and add-ins custom wizards the Visual Studio Integration Program (VSIP) If you're serious about using the VS.NET toolkit, you'll want a book of this magnitude close by. Mastering Visual Studio .NET will take you beyond what you'll read in the standard documentation by offering hints and recommendations that the authors and the community at large have found to be useful after many years of experience.
The typical user of this book will be past users of Visual C++ looking to get up to speed quickly on developing applications for the .NET framework in Visual C++.
Much of a software architect’s life is spent designing software systems to meet a set of quality requirements. General software quality attributes include scalability, security, performance or reliability. Quality attribute requirements are part of an application’s non-functional requirements, which capture the many facets of how the functional - quirements of an application are achieved. Understanding, modeling and continually evaluating quality attributes throughout a project lifecycle are all complex engineering tasks whichcontinuetochallengethe softwareengineeringscienti ccommunity. While we search for improved approaches, methods, formalisms and tools that are usable in practice and can scale to large systems, the complexity of the applications that the so- ware industry is challenged to build is ever increasing. Thus, as a research community, there is little opportunity for us to rest on our laurels, as our innovations that address new aspects of system complexity must be deployed and validated. To this end the 5th International Conference on the Quality of Software Archit- tures (QoSA) 2009 focused on architectures for adaptive software systems. Modern software systems must often recon guretheir structure and behavior to respond to c- tinuous changes in requirements and in their execution environment. In these settings, quality models are helpful at an architectural level to guide systematic model-driven software development strategies by evaluating the impact of competing architectural choices.
Packed with C++ code examples and screen shots, .NET Programming with Visual C++ explains the .NET framework and managed extensions to C++, and provides a complete reference to the basic and advanced types contained in .NET Framework System namesp
Annotation Eases developer transition to the .NET environment This book will get readers up to speed quickly with regards to the .NET Framework Highlights how C# is similar to and different from C++ The author team has been working with C# and the .NET Framework since it was in alpha (about six months before being publicly announced) This book covers topics ranging from the general principles of .NET through the C# language and how its used in ASP.NET and Windows Forms. Written by programmers for programmers, the content of the book is intended to get readers over the hump of the .NET learning curve and provide solid practical knowledge that will make developers productive from day one. Robert Powell is Director of Engineering with Stingray Software. His work includes projects on the "Objective Studio" toolkits and a plethora of C# and ASP.NET based applications. Stingray software has been providing tools for MFC programmers for many years and is respected in the industry as an independent authority on Microsoft technologies. Richard Weeks is a Software Engineer at Stingray were he is currently building Client/Server infrastructure technology utilizing C#, ASP.NET and the .NET Framework.
