The Microsoft� .NET Framework provides powerful technologies such as ASP.NET Web Forms, XML Web services, and Windows� Forms to simplify developing applications and components that work seamlessly on the Internet. This book shows how to make the most of the .NET Framework�s common language runtime (CLR). Written by two highly respected developer/writers and intended for anyone who understands OOP concepts such as data abstraction, inheritance, and polymorphism, this book clearly explains the extensible type system of the CLR, examines how the CLR manages the behavior of types, and explores how an application manipulates types. While focusing on Visual Basic� .NET, its in-depth explanations and concepts apply equally to all programming languages that target the .NET Framework.

Topics covered include:

The .NET Framework architecture
Building, packaging, deploying, and administering applications and their types
Building and deploying shared assemblies
Type fundamentals
Primitive, reference, and value types
Operations common to all objects
Type members and accessibility
Constants, fields, methods, properties, and events
Working with text
Enumerated types and bit flags
Array types
Interfaces
Custom attributes
Delegates
Error handling with exceptions
Automatic memory management
AppDomains and reflection
