• Hardcover: 448 pages
• Publisher: Apress (April 28, 2008)
• Language: English
• ISBN-10: 159059973X

The Microsoft .NET Micro Framework is a small and efficient .NET runtime environment used to run managed code on devices that are too small and resource constrained for Windows CE and the Compact Framework.

Expert .NET Micro Framework will teach you everything you need to know in order to use the .NET Micro Framework to create effective embedded applications. It begins with the basics of accessing hardware and networking before delving deep into the less well–known areas such as cryptography and globalization, and how to use technologies such as wireless communication that are not directly supported by the .NET Micro Framework.

This book is a must if you want to get as much as possible out of the .NET Micro Framework to write powerful embedded applications.

Expert .NET Micro Framework also describes how to use resources, and write globalized and multilingual embedded applications. You will learn how to effectively use binary serialization to store data permanently in flash memory or exchange data with a PDA or PC. Topics like cryptography and encrypted data exchange with a .NET or Compact Framework application are covered.

What you’ll learn

• Describes and compares wireless communication technologies and how to use them even if they are not directly supported by the .NET Micro Framework
• Describes the whole class library and features of the .NET Micro Framework, illustrated by working examples
• Demonstrates how to access hardware components with managed drivers and write applications with a graphical user interface
• Includes a detailed description of how to effectively extend or write hardware emulators using undocumented features of the configuration engine and emulator components
  • Pro C# 2008 and the .NET 3.5 Platform, Fourth Edition

Who is this book for?

This book is for anyone with an interest in creating embedded systems.

Professional .NET 2.0 Generics

• Paperback: 408 pages
• Publisher: WROX (October 17, 2005)
• Language: English
• ISBN-10: 0764559885

The power and elegance of generic types have long been acknowledged. Generics allow developers to parameterize data types much like you would parameterize a method. This brings a new dimension of reusability to your types without compromising expressiveness, type-safety, or efficiency. Now .NET generics makes this power available to all .NET developers. By introducing generic concepts directly into the Common Language Runtime (CLR), Microsoft has also created the first language-independent generics implementation. The result is a solution that allows generic types to be leveraged by all the languages of the .NET platform.

This book explores all aspects of the .NET generics implementation, covering everything from fundamental generic concepts, to the elements of generic syntax, to a broader view of how and when you might apply generics. It digs into the details associated with creating and consuming your own generic classes, structures, methods, delegates, and interfaces, examining all the nuances associated with leveraging each of these language constructs. The book also looks at guidelines for working with generic types, the performance gains achieved with generics, the new generic container libraries (BCL and third party), and key aspects of the underlying .NET implementation.

For those transitioning from C++, the book provides an in-depth look at the similarities and differences between templates and.NET generics. It also explores the syntactic variations associated with using generics with each of the .NET languages, including C#, Visual Basic, J#, and C++.

Foundations of ASP.NET AJAX

• Paperback: 268 pages
• Publisher: Apress; 2Rev Ed edition (November 12, 2007)
• Language: English
• ISBN-10: 1590598288

Since the emergence of Google Maps 12 months ago, Ajax programming techniques have become one of the hottest topics in the programming arena. To date, the frameworks available for creating these applications have been complex and have separated the development of the client–side Ajax (on the user’s machine) from the server–side supporting technology (on the company’s machines). This separation has made development slow and difficult.

ASP.NET AJAX is Microsoft’s solution to this problem. ASP.NET AJAX (formerly code–named Atlas) is a set of extensions to the existing ASP.NET 2.0 technology that provides you with a fast-and-simple environment to create Ajax applications. Microsoft has combined Ajax with ASP.NET technology and provided a unified set of development tools within Visual Studio 2005. For the first time, Ajax applications can be developed seamlessly in conjunction with a supporting technology.

Foundations of ASP.NET AJAX (written by Laurence Moroney the author of Apress successful Foundations of Atlas) gives you a detailed grounding in how ASP.NET AJAX works. It takes you swiftly through the basic principles of Ajax, then deep into the heart of the technology, where every namespace is discussed and every function considered. By the end of the book, you’ll know all the essentials to confidently produce cutting-edge ASP.NET AJAX applications swiftly and professionally. You will not need any reference beyond this book.

Effective Use of Microsoft Enterprise Library: Building Blocks for Creating Enterprise Applications and Services

• Paperback: 736 pages
• Publisher: Addison-Wesley Professional; 1 edition (June 9, 2006)
• Language: English
• ISBN-10: 0321334213

Writing robust enterprise applications presents a special challenge for developers, but Microsoft has addressed that challenge with the free, downloadable Enterprise Library for the .NET Framework.

Enterprise Library is a collection of application blocks and guidance documents that together provide functionality common to enterprise applications; each application block includes full source code. Lacking in the guidance provided by Microsoft is an overall roadmap to the process of using the application blocks. Effective Use of Microsoft Enterprise Library is that roadmap.

Microsoft application development lead architect Len Fenster explains exactly how to build applications using Enterprise Library application blocks. Fenster covers all seven application blocks as implemented for .NET Framework 1.1, shows how to develop and use a new application block, and explains how Enterprise Library is changing for .NET Framework 2.0.

Readers will learn

• How the Configuration Application Block is designed and can be used at runtime to easily read and write configuration data
• How the Configuration Application Block works at design time for all blocks
• How to use the Data Access Block to create a portable data layer
• How to use the Exception Handling Application Block to implement a policy-driven, application-wide exception handling system
• How to use the Logging and Instrumentation Application Block to log and instrument messages independent of the message destination
• How to add authentication, authorization, role membership, security cache, and profile membership features to an application with the Security Application Block
• How to use the Cryptography Application Block to add functionality to encrypt and decrypt data and create and compare hashes
• How to build your own application block and providers that “snap” right into Enterprise Library

Whether you plan to extend Enterprise Library for your organization, or just use the existing application blocks to add functionality to your architecture in a consistent, extensible, integrated way, this book will guide you through the complexities and help you find a clear path to success.

About the Author
Len Fenster is the lead architect for .NET Development for Microsoft Consulting Service’s U.S. East Region. During his last eight years at Microsoft, he has focused on helping many enterprises create robust applications based on Microsoft technology. Most recently, Len has been working with the Microsoft patterns & practices team on the next version of Enterprise Library. Even before his career with Microsoft, Len led a global team of developers and architects that built distributed applications based on Microsoft technologies. Since the advent of .NET, Len has served as an enterprise architect for Microsoft Consulting Services and has leveraged his considerable experience to help many enterprises incorporate .NET into their own technology strategies. Len speaks on a regular basis to companies and at architecture forums about architecting solutions based on .NET and service oriented architecture.

As the .NET Framework and Common Language Runtime (CLR) continue to mature in terms of platform adoption, robustness, reliability, and feature richness, developers have an increasing need to understand the foundation on top of which all managed code runs. This book looks at the underlying platform commonalities that all developers can use, regardless of language choice or development tools. This includes languages such as C#, Visual Basic, C++/CLI, and others.

You’ll begin with an in-depth look at CLR fundamentals. From there, you’ll review first the Base Class Libraries (BCL) and then the more advanced Framework libraries that are commonly used in most managed applications. With an abundance of working code examples and unique depth of coverage, this book will quickly get you up to speed on what the .NET Framework and CLR 2.0 have to offer.

• Details of the CLR’s architecture, including garbage collection, exceptions, just-in-time compilation, and the Common Type System
• How assemblies work and options for deployment, from executables to shared to private libraries
• Specific portions of the BCL, as well as advanced Framework libraries such as the new transaction libraries
• Advanced services of the CLR, such as the secure programming model and forms of isolation and concurrency
• How the CLR’s rich metadata is used for dynamic programming and runtime code-generation
