Special Edition Using Visual C++.NET is a comprehensive resource to help readers leverage the exciting new features of Visual C++.NET as well as port their existing skills to the new .NET development environment. The book shows how both Win32 and .NET applications work, not only instructing the reader in the use of Microsoft's Visual C++ wizards, but also showing what the wizards create. A variety of programming tasks from simple dialog boxes to database and Internet programming are included. Because of the new .NET platform developers in any of 17 languages (including Visual C++) will use the same class libraries to construct high-performance applications. SE Using Visual C++.NET will not only cover the new version of the software but also how to get maximum programming results from combining several languages into one project. Related technologies such as XML and XSLT are also covered, along with integrating Visual C++ code with Visual Basic and C# code.

Over the next few years, the proprietary trading and hedge fund industries will migrate largely to automated trade selection and execution systems. Indeed, this is already happening. While several finance books provide C++ code for pricing derivatives and performing numerical calculations, none approaches the topic from a system design perspective. This book will be divided into two sections: programming techniques and automated trading system ( ATS ) technology and teach financial system design and development from the absolute ground up using Microsoft Visual C++.NET 2005. MS Visual C++.NET 2005 has been chosen as the implementation language primarily because most trading firms and large banks have developed and continue to develop their proprietary algorithms in ISO C++ and Visual C++.NET provides the greatest flexibility for incorporating these legacy algorithms into working systems. Furthermore, the .NET Framework and development environment provide the best libraries and tools for rapid development of trading systems. The first section of the book explains Visual C++.NET 2005 in detail and focuses on the required programming knowledge for automated trading system development, including object oriented design, delegates and events, enumerations, random number generation, timing and timer objects, and data management with STL.NET and .NET collections. Furthermore, since most legacy code and modeling code in the financial markets is done in ISO C++, this book looks in depth at several advanced topics relating to managed/unmanaged/COM memory management and interoperability. Further, this book provides dozens of examples illustrating the use of database connectivity with ADO.NET and an extensive treatment of SQL and FIX and XML/FIXML. Advanced programming topics such as threading, sockets, as well as using C++.NET to connect to Excel are also discussed at length and supported by examples. The second section of the book explains technological concerns and design concepts for automated trading systems. Specifically, chapters are devoted to handling real-time data feeds, managing orders in the exchange order book, position selection, and risk management. A .dll is included in the book that will emulate connection to a widely used industry API ( Trading Technologies, Inc.'s XTAPI ) and provide ways to test position and order management algorithms. Design patterns are presented for market taking systems based upon technical analysis as well as for market making systems using intermarket spreads. As all of the chapters revolve around computer programming for financial engineering and trading system development, this book will educate traders, financial engineers, quantitative analysts, students of quantitative finance and even experienced programmers on technological issues that revolve around development of financial applications in a Microsoft environment and the construction and implementation of real-time trading systems and tools. - Teaches financial system design and development from the ground up using Microsoft Visual C++.NET 2005 - Provides dozens of examples illustrating the programming approaches in the book - Chapters are supported by screenshots, equations, sample Excel spreadsheets, and programming code
This text focuses on the advanced topics of Visual C++ programming - rapid application development, object-oriented programming and database design. It is designed for readers that have Visual C++ programming experience and are ready to tackle complex enterprise development projects. It provides discussions of software lifecycle models, of issues encountered in RAD such as scheduling, estimating and testing, and overviews of client/server and network development, distribution issues, prototyping applications, as well as profiling and targeting the end user.
Microsoft Commerce Server 2002 provides a platform for the rapid development of e-Commerce web sites. Using the design patterns found in the sample sites and lessons learned from years of field experience, this book defines a path for mapping an e-commerce project.
The compiler and linker extensions in Microsoft Visual C++ .NET provide specific capabilities that programmers can’t get using Microsoft Visual C#™. Programmers learn how to make the most of these extensions with this enlightening guide—updated for Visual C++ .NET 2003 and written by an authority on the subject. The book reveals the special programming rules for Managed Extensions and shows how to use them to write .NET libraries and applications. It also discusses the many features that are new to Visual C++ .NET 2003. This guide is ideal for developers who use Visual C#, but want to make the most of the unique facilities in Visual C++ .NET.
