Advanced .NET Remoting is the first book that really offers
in-depth coverage of the .NET Remoting Framework. The first part of
the book covers everything a developer needs to know to use the
framework and its capabilities in real-world applications, including
the basics of server-activated objects versus client-activated
objects, formatters, channels, lifetime issues, security,
configuration files, and more. The second edition of this book
covers new features of the .NET Framework 1.1 and the beta of .NET
2.0. In addition, the authors share best practices they have learnt
in the past 5 years.
Advanced .NET Remoting won the .NET Developers Journal
Readers Choice Award as the Best .NET Book of 2003.

Data-Centric .NET Programming
|
 |
The development of the .NET Framework, with the
associated release of the C# programming language, is set to
stimulate a new wave of application development. This book aims to
provide the information needed to develop powerful data-centric
applications using C#. To do this we'll be extensively covering the
exciting new features of ADO.NET that deliver efficient data access
and manipulation, and the XML handling capabilities of the .NET
Framework. Accepting that data-centric applications will utilize a
variety of sources and inputs, we'll also look at additional topics
such as using ADO with C#, Messaging Services, and utililizing the
Registry and Active Directory. This information is put into context
within a number of case studies including one showing how to migrate
an application from Visual Basic 6 to C#.

Professional C#
|
 |
It is no exaggeration to describe the C# language
and its associated environment, the .NET Framework, as the most
important new technology for developers in many years. .NET provides
a new environment within which you can develop almost any
Windows-based or web-based application, while C# is a new
programming language designed specifically to work with .NET.
This book is the ideal introduction to the C#
language and the .NET Framework, and will become an indispensable
companion for any user of C# and .NET. With this book, you will
learn the key concepts of the C# language, and then progress onto a
complete exploration of programming the .NET Framework with C#.

Professional C# Web Services
|
 |
Web services are perhaps the most important feature of .NET
development. They take componentization to a new level by allowing
method calls to be made over the Internet or over an intranet using
standard protocols such as HTTP and SOAP. This means that the
calling application needs to know nothing about the internal
implementation of the service - a web service built in C# on the
.NET platform will (in theory) be indistinguishable from one built
on Linux using Java.
The .NET Framework provides two ways to build web services -
ASP.NET and .NET Remoting. Unlike most books on web services, this
book covers both of these technologies in depth. .NET Remoting web
services require a little extra effort to build, but they offer us
greater flexibility. They allow us to use different encoding and
channels, and they can be hosted in any application, not just IIS.

ADO.NET . Datenbankprogrammierung
|
 |
Für die Datenbankprogrammierung bietet der .NET
Framework unter der Bezeichnung ADO.NET eine eigene
Klassenbibliothek. ADO.NET steht zwar in der Tradition von ADO 2.x,
verlangt in vielerlei Hinsicht aber ein Umdenken beim Zugriff auf
relationale Daten. Das Buch behandelt einige der wichtigsten
Auswirkungen des stark veränderten Programmiermodells für die
Programmierpraxis. Es bietet Lösungen auf Fragen, die sich jeder
Entwickler schon nach kurzem Umgang mit ADO.NET stellt: Nach welchen
Regeln sollte das Schema einer relationalen Datenbank für den
Zugriff mit ADO.NET aufgebaut sein? Wie werden Daten in komplexen
hierarchischen Beziehungen am besten geladen und gespeichert? Machen
SQL-Joins noch Sinn? Können AutoNumber-Primärschlüssel weiterhin
benutzt werden? Wie lassen sich Datensätze ohne Cursor sperren?

Jetzt lerne ich ADO.Net

ADO.NET, die Klassenbibliothek für die
Datenbankprogrammierung des .NET Framework, fordert durch ihren
verbindungslosen und objektorientierten Ansatz eine andere
Herangehensweise an den Umgang mit relationalen Datenbanken. Dieser
Einsteigerband vermittelt in einem ganzheitlichen Ansatz daher nicht
nur die grundlegenden Kenntnisse für den Einsatz der ADO.NET-Klassen,
sondern liefert auch Regeln zur Annäherung von relationalem und
objektorientiertem Datenmodell und wendet Theorie wie
Klassenbibliothek in einer ausführlichen, mehrschichtigen
Beispielapplikation mit WinForms-und ASP.NET-Frontends an.
