Course Description:

'' The Microsoft .NET Framework provides very rich support for the development of “smart client�applications using Windows Forms 3.5. This latest version of Windows Forms is one of the most powerful, yet easy to use, platforms for creating compelling Windows applications. With rich support for data binding, upgraded layout and localisation features, support for multithreading and Microsoft Office-style tool- and menu-strip controls, you will be producing great looking, feature rich and responsive applications in record time.

ClickOnce deployment technology also makes it a snap to get your applications installed; overcoming one of the most common complaints levelled at Windows programs.

This course will provide you with the skills necessary to create a modern Windows application, providing you with comprehensive coverage of this exciting technology.



Prerequisites
Delegates should already have experience of using the C# or Visual Basic .NET programming languages, which can be gained by attending either of the following courses: The C# Programming Language (course code QACSHPL-35) or The Visual Basic 2008 Programming Language (course code QAVBNPL-35)
Knowledge of GUI programming, using technologies such as Visual Basic 6, Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC) or Windows Forms 1 would be an advantage, but it is not required
This course is ideal for Developers and Team Leaders who will be using Windows Forms 3.5 and the Microsoft .NET Framework to write and deploy Windows applications


Delegates will learn how to
Use Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 to create Windows Forms 3.5 applications
Configure and deploy an application using ClickOnce deployment
Work with the new menu- and tool-strip controls
Use ADO, LINQ and data binding techniques to minimise the amount of code needed to create data-driven applications
Use GDI+ to create great looking controls and printed output
Manipulate and utilise application and user settings within their programs
Create Windows Forms applications that work correctly with multiple threads of execution
Go beyond the RAD features of Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 to create scalable and maintainable Windows Forms applications
