Introduction to ASP.NET (3 days)
Description
This introductory/intermediate-level class provides the basics necessary to build and work with ASP.NET applications using Visual Studio.NET. The class introduces ASP.NET for Web development, and covers Visual Studio .NET, enabling students to get up and running quickly. The class drills down into detail on Web application architecture, leveraging User controls, and managing session and application state. Students also learn to work with ADO.NET, and the data bound controls in the framework. The class provides examples and exercises in both C# and VB.NET. This course is taught using .NET 2.0 and Visual Studio.NET 2005
Prerequisites
Prior programming experience in one of the following:
• At least one object-oriented language such as a • .NET language (e.g., C#, VB.NET) • Java • C++ • SmallTalk
• or significant programming experience in a modern language such as MS Visual Basic
Suggested Next Courses
• Fundamentals of .NET Programming using VB.NET and C#
• J2EE/.NET Enterprise Frameworks for Systems Designers
Objectives
• Understand ASP.NET and how this powerful technology facilitates creating robust Web applications using sound object-oriented techniques
• Create powerful user interfaces using Web forms
• Leverage controls provided by the framework, and learn how to extend and build custom controls
• Learn to work with the validation controls in ASP.NET
• Work with the intrinsic objects used in ASP.NET for managing HTTP requests and responses, and maintaining state
• Leverage ADO.NET to bind data to the controls in their forms
• Use the XML support in .NET to produce XML data, transform data for Web pages, and store XML data in a database
• Work with VS.NET to debug, deploy, secure, and fine-tune their applications
