This three-day course provides students with the enabling knowledge and skills required to create Microsoft .NET Applications with Visual Studio 2005. Students learn how to develop advanced .NET applications.

Doelgroep

The audience for this course consists of Application Developers with the skills to develop business applications by using Visual Studio 2005 with either Visual Basic .NET or Visual C#.

Voorkennis

Before attending this course, students must have an understanding of:

• The purpose and components of the .NET 2.0 Framework and the Common Language Runtime, the components of typical .NET 2.0 applications and the .NET Framework 2.0 Common Type System (CTS).
• Decision structures, loop structures, declaring and using variables.
• Handling classes and objects, methods, properties and functions and overridden methods.
• Exceptions, static methods and properties.
• Handling solutions, projects, files and project types.
• Carry out basic project debugging and deployment.

This learning product will be most useful to people who are already working in the job role of an application developer and who intend to use their new skills and knowledge on the job immediately after training.
