----------------------------------------------------------- From: kr_sriraman Message 1 in Discussion techslash.com | Microsoft .NET special | Technical resources Why should you add C# to your skill set? C# is more than just the "mother language" of .NET or Microsoft's answer to Java. It's fast becoming an industry standard. This article provides an overview of C# and answers the question of whether a developer needs this language. Advanced .NET Debugging Datasheet This 4-day WorkshopPLUS course develops the skills required to troubleshoot and resolve common scenarios such as hangs, crashes, and memory leaks in both WinForms and ASP.NET applications using various tools and techniques. MSDN Webcasts - Workflow Foundation, IIS 7.0 Join this webcast where Glen Gordon introduces you to Windows Workflow Foundation by examining, modifying, and extending the workflow components of the DinnerNow sample solution. Learn to create custom activities, manage workflow persistence and tracking, and take some time to understand how Windows Workflow Foundation was applied in this application. Bloom Filters in C# What if you're organizing an enormous amount of data (say tens of millions of records or more), and you have to test if an item is a member of the data? This could be time consuming and, possibly, require more memory than the amount present. Jim Mischel tackles this problem in C# using a device known as a Bloom Filter. Deployment Strategies in Visual Studio When it's finally time to deploy your Windows-based .Net application, you have two choices: ClickOnce deployment and the traditional Windows Installer deployment. This article helps you chose the method that's right for your application and shows you the steps involved. Dealing with ASP.NET's view state ASP.NET's view state feature allows you to easily persist data between server roundtrips, and it is utilized by the postback architecture. However, it consumes valuable resources, so you should use the feature when appropriate. It is recommended that you turn view state off for any control that doesn't need it because storing large amounts of data in a hidden field requires that field to be transferred during server calls, which takes time. Read about the view state feature, and learn about a few enhancements to the feature in ASP.NET 2.0. Migrating applications from ASP.NET 1.1 to 2.0 ASP.NET 2.0 is more than an upgrade--it is a major update of the technology, as it changes the way ASP.NET applications are designed, compiled, and deployed. Microsoft does recognize the existence of a large number of ASP.NET 1.1 installations, so 2.0 was designed to allow older applications to work without problems. On the other hand, the need to convert existing applications to the 2.0 platform may arise. This topic examines the major differences between ASP.NET 1.1 and ASP.NET 2.0, and discuss areas that may be problems during the conversion process. Using message queue services in .NET Message queue platforms are robust and they often provide their own security, transactional support, and more. A key aspect is routing capabilities to deliver a message. Microsoft Message Queuing (MSMQ) is a component of the Windows operating system that allows cooperating applications to send and receive messages to each other. A message queue provides a powerful way to asynchronously send and receive messages (data) in enterprise applications. Learn why you should use message queuing and how to program MSMQ. Getting started with Microsoft .NET development Microsoft's .NET Framework contains the necessary tools you need to build powerful applications, whether it is a Windows or a Web application. Everything you need to get started with .NET development is available from Microsoft. Use C# and the .NET Framework to develop your own plugin architecture Many dynamic applications allow third parties to create plugins that extend the functionality of the application. This article explains how developers can leverage the .NET Framework and C# to easily create a plugin architecture of their own. A sample solution is also provided that demonstrates the concepts described Use ASP.NET 2.0 pre-compilation to avoid delays The pre-compilation option, which is new to ASP.NET 2.0, allows you to pre-compile your Web application to omit the delay with the first application request. Learn about additional benefits of the pre-compilation option Manipulate the Windows registry with .NET The registry is an integral part of every Windows installation. It contains a wealth of information regarding operating system configuration along with the hardware and installed software. Programmatic access to the registry in the pre-.NET days involved working with the Windows API. The .NET Framework simplifies the process with the Microsoft.Win32 namespace. This article takes a closer look at working with the registry in .NET. ASP.NET Data Sources and Controls Without writing code, create powerful data-driven Web applications with ASP.NET 2.0. ASP.NET 2.0 Data Connectivity Developers can now be happier, since a new and enhanced data model comes in ASP.NET 2.0. In this model, apart from the standard namespaces, you have two types of controls: Data Source Controls and Data Bound Controls. Component to access databases in the .NET environment An extremely flexible and easy-to-use library that retrieves data in XML format, supports simple parameterized queries, stored procedures, and transactions. It can also be used as a web service. Databases in ASP.Net : How you can access databases in ASP.Net ASP.Net can connect to many different databases, as long as they are OLEDB compliant. SQL Server users get an additional benefit: a number of functions that enhance the performance of your ASP.Net pages when used with SQL Server stead of any other database.
