Get a focused, first look at the features and capabilities in Microsoft Visual Basic 2005, Visual Studio 2005, and the .NET Framework 2.0.
Tutorial Details:
If you currently work with Visual Basic 6, these authors fully understand the adoption and code migration issues you'll encounter. They'll step you through a quick primer on .NET Framework programming, offering guidance for a productive transition. If you already work with .NET, you'll jump directly into what's new, learning how to extend your existing skills. From the innovations in rapid application development, debugging, and deployment, to new data access, desktop, and Web programming capabilities, you get the insights and code walkthroughs you need to be productive right away.
The Microsoft .NET Framework and the corresponding versions of Microsoft Visual Studio that target the .NET Framework are major innovations for software developers. If you have been programming in Visual Basic 6 (or earlier), you will appreciate the advances in productivity, security, reliability, and "deployability" offered by these new development and execution environments.
Every program relies on its platform and other libraries to provide run-time services. Visual Basic 6 programmers know well the types of services provided by the Visual Basic Runtime. Java programmers use the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). Other programmers use the libraries for the technologies they develop with. The Microsoft .NET Framework class library provides a rich library for creating applications that run on the platform (or execution environment) known as the common language runtime (CLR). This chapter will introduce you to the basics of the .NET Framework, its class library, and the developer tools that make up Microsoft Visual Studio 2005. At the end of this chapter are some highlights of the new features in .NET Framework 2.0 and Visual Studio 2005 that are covered in more detail in the rest of this book.
The Applications You Can Build
You have probably heard a lot of hype about .NET and XML Web services. Much of that hype is well deserved because the .NET Framework and Visual Studio 2005 make building and consuming Web services so easy. But Microsoft .NET technologies are not just about Web services. Visual Studio 2005 and the .NET Framework are just as powerful for creating other types of applications, including Windows and Web applications.
