Packed with C++ code examples and screen shots, .NET Programming with Visual C++ explains the .NET framework and managed extensions to C++, and provides a complete reference to the basic and advanced types contained in .NET Framework System namesp

C++, probably the most widely used programming language today, is available on all computers and is flexible and powerful enough to be useful for almost any programming task. "Beginning C++ Programming" is perfect for the absolute beginner to programming, taking each concept and explaining it.

This book provides an accessible approach to the study of Windows programming with Visual C++. It is intended to be an introduction to Visual C++ for technical people including practicing engineers, engineering students, and others who would like to understand Windows programming and use its inherent graphic capabilities. While the book is aimed at a technical audience, the mathematical content is modest and it should be readable by most people interested in C++ programming. It introduces readers to Windows programming in a natural way, making use of the object-oriented environment, the Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC), and the document/view organization.Over fifty example projects are included on a companion CD. These example projects are used in the book's tutorial format initially by introducing Visual C++ programming and important C++ concepts. Then coverage of Windows programming begins with fundamental graphics operations including interactive drawing with mouse inputs. This is followed by program interaction through Windows tools for creating drop down menus, toolbar buttons, dialog windows, file input/output, output to printers, etc. Basic animation concepts are presented, using classes to develop, manipulate and display geometric shapes. Graphs are plotted as objects and the process of creating color contour plots is discussed.After using this book and following its collection of example programs, readers should be well prepared to write interactive programs which integrate Windows functionality and graphics with their own C++ programming. The step-by-step structure of each example in the book is described thoroughly and only standard Microsoft resources for graphics are required. Exercises at the end of each chapter provide opportunities to revisit and extend the tutorial examples. The project folders on the CD include complete program code for all examples. Files are also provided that contain classes and functions for handling geometric objects and graphs and which may be easily adapted for a wide variety of application programs.

bull; Demystifies aspects of Visual Basic .NET that are difficult to master, such as remoting, multithreading, reflection, security, and COM interoperability. bull; Contains in-depth coverage of topics barely touched upon in other books. bull; Author is a well-known and respected guru in the Microsoft programming community.

This book enables intermediate and advanced programmers the kind of depth that's really needed, such as advanced window functionality, macros, advanced debugging, and add-ins, etc. With this book, developers will learn the VS.NET development environment from top to bottom.

Readers can learn the different programming rules for managed extensions, along with the features that are new to Visual C++ and other .NET-compatible languages. (Computer Books - Languages/Programming)

This book will help you acquire solid knowledge and many practical hands-on programming skills. It is intended for beginners. The selection of topics is designed to help you learn the fundamentals of Visual Basic .NET programming and Visual Studio .NET development tools. Each chapter in this book is accompanied by a relevant lab project that will allow you consolidate your knowledge and practice your new skills.

Includes more than 120 tips for editing and writing your code, navigating within the IDE, and compiling, debugging, and deploying your application. Also includes section dedicated to VS.NET 2005, keyboard shortcuts for the majority of tips, and more than 90 figures and screenshots.

C# builds on the skills already mastered by C++ and Java programmers, enabling them to create powerful Web applications and components - ranging from XML-based Web services on Microsoft's .NET platform to middle-tier business objects and system-level applications.

Microsoft .NET is here, but COM and COM+ will be a valuable part of every Microsoft Windows programmer's toolbox for years. This in-depth programming guide explains how and where COM and COM+ fit into the new .NET world, demonstrates the new technologies that are available in .NET, and shows how to interoperate between COM/COM+ and .NET. It explains how to use Microsoft Visual Studio .NET to write traditional COM objects, how to use COM objects in .NET code, and how to use .NET objects as COM objects. It also discusses COM+ topics such as disconnected applications and subscriptions. The authors show you both theoretical and practical approaches--explaining how the mechanisms work and also providing practical advice with sample code to show how to handle interoperability. Topics covered include: The .NET view of COM and COM+ COM, COM+, and .NET Using COM components in .NET code Using .NET components in COM applications Overview of COM+ coding for .NET Writing COM code Attributed programming Active Template Library (ATL) and ATL Server Writing COM+ code A simple COM+ example Working with disconnected applications Creating subscriptions Web application scenarios Interoperability Interacting with unmanaged code Advanced interaction Working with predefined interfaces Includes sample code on the Web
