Synopsis

This book is a code library: it is a collection of components, classes, or nuggets of functionality that you can use, sometimes straight "out-of-the-box", sometimes with minimal tweaking. Each component is a flexible application building block, ready to fit neatly into your coding projects. Their usefulness stems from their encapsulation of code that is often common to many applications.

This book is also a discovery tool. Through the classes contained within this book, you can explore how the .NET Framework can be used to solve common problems. Each class also presents a set of programming techniques which take advantage of .NET's object orientation and extensive class library.

In writing this book, the authors' aim was threefold. First it is a simple catalogue of code, readily usable (and re-usable) that should allow you to speed up your development time. Second it is a collection of practical classes, not simple examples: these classes have been chosen for their usefulness in everyday coding. And third, by following a structured approach, each class illustrate a particular aspect of .NET Development, enabling you the reader to learn from them and apply these techniques to your own coding.

About this title

From the Publisher

Whether you are new to .NET or have been working with it for some time, this book has something for you. You might want to read through the design choices that the authors have made when designing their solutions, or you might implement the code straight away in your own applications.

The book will require that you have some experience of object oriented concepts and a basic knowledge of Visual Basic .NET's language constructs. Most solutions have been developed using Visual Studio .NET and in particular for GUI and Graphics based classes where you will need to inherit from exisiting controls, you will need to have VS.NET installed.

The book is organised in 5 sections: Part 1 includes 6 Application components, Part 2 is formed of 6 GUI & Graphics based controls and classes, Part 3 is a set of 7 Network and Windows File System classes, Part 4 contains 6 security classes and Part 5 is a set of 5 implementations of well known patterns or algorithms.
