Description: This course provides students with hands on experience using Visual Studio 2005 to create enterprise Windows applications with the .NET Framework using VB.NET. It covers the essentials of the VB.NET programming language, introducing built in data types, operators control structures, classes and methods. Students then learn how to leverage the power of the .NET Framework and Windows Forms to build sophisticated graphical user interfaces. Students will learn how to use ADO.NET to interact with data sources and using the powerful data binding features of .NET. Other topics include: event handling and validation of user input; error handling and debugging; the use of a .config file to control application configuration; developing and consuming web services; file I/O; using XML data with DataSets; and deployment issues. Comprehensive hands-on lab exercises using Visual Studio.NET reinforce knowledge and build direct competence in the topics presented during the course.

This course provides thorough coverage of the use of Windows forms for the development of GUI based applications. Students requiring extensive coverage of Web forms should register for the ASP.NET 2.0 Programming Using Visual Basic.NET course instead.

Prerequisites: General programming knowledge. Knowledge of object-oriented programming concepts is helpful but not required. Knowledge of Visual Basic 6.0 is helpful but not required.
