About this title

From the Back Cover

COBOL and .NET: application migration, design, implementation, and deployment.

• COBOL for .NET: design, coding, and deployment
• Migrating legacy COBOL code to Web environments using
• Fujitsu(r) COBOL for .NET
• Developing COBOL applications with Visual Studio.NET
• Maximizing application efficiency and performance

Now that COBOL is being integrated into Microsoft's .NET platform and Visual Studio.NET toolset, developers have a powerful way to bring their COBOL expertise into the Web-enabled future. In this book, long-time Windows programming expert Dr. Ronald Reeves gives developers comprehensive guidance for writing new COBOL code for .NET environments, and migrating existing COBOL code to the .NET platform. Reeves begins by introducing the .NET framework and Visual Studio.NET development environment from the COBOL programmer's standpoint. Next, he covers every key aspect of COBOL development for .NET, including:

• Providing interoperability between legacy "unmanaged" code and .NET managed code
• Building next-generation Web services and applications using ASP.NET and WebForms
• Leveraging SOAP and the Web Services Description Language (SOAP)
• WinForms: Integrating COBOL software with powerful Windows client user interfaces
• Building COBOL-based database applications with ADO.NET
• Object-oriented COBOL programming using .NET extensions
• Designing COBOL.NET applications for maximum efficiency and performance
