Programming in C# with Microsoft Visual Studio 2010

Course details

The course focuses on C# program structure, language syntax, and implementation details with .NET Framework 4.0. This course describes the new enhancements in the C# 4.0 language by using Visual Studio 2010.

In this course, lower-intermediate level programmers gain the knowledge and skills they need to develop C# applications for the Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0. The course highlights the structure of C# 4.0 programs, language syntax, and implementation details

Objectives

This course is designed to teach you how to:

• Explain the purpose of the .NET Framework, and understand how to use C# and Visual Studio 2010 to build .NET Framework applications.
• Understand the syntax of basic C# programming constructs.
• Create and call methods in a C# application.
• Catch, handle and throw exceptions.
• Perform basic file IO operations in a C# application.
• Create and use new types (enumerations, classes, and structures), and understand the differences between reference types and value types.
• Control the visibility and lifetime of members in a type.
• Use inheritance to create new reference types.
• Manage the lifetime of objects and control the use of resources.
• Define properties and indexers to encapsulate data, and define operators for this data.
• Decouple an operation from the method that implements an operation, and use these decoupled operations to handle asynchronous events.
• Use collections to aggregate data, and use Generics to implement typesafe collection classes, structures, interfaces, and methods.
• Implement custom collection classes that support enumeration.
• Query in-memory data by using LINQ.
• Integrate code written by using a dynamic language such as Ruby and Python, or technologies such as COM, into a C# application
