An Introduction to Visual Studio .NET CRB Tech

A Detailed Introduction To Visual Studio .NET

• CRB Tech Reviews introduces you to the world of
  Visual Studio .NET.
• If you want to develop web based, desktop or
  mobile applications using ASP, then Visual Studio
  .NET is the place for you. It provides a complete
  set of developmental tools for developing the
  various applications. XML web services can also
  be built. There is a common integrated
  development environment (IDE) for all VB .NET,
  Visual C .NET, C .NET, J .NET etc.

• This enables sharing of tools and in development
  of mixed-language solutions. These languages act
  as a liver to the functioning of the ASP.NET
  framework. This gives access to major
  technologies that ease the building of ASP based
  web applications and XML web services.
• We would cover the following in this article
• Visual Studio Highlights
• .NET Framework
• Getting Started

Some Highlights of Visual Studio .NET

• We will see some information related to the
  latest tools and technologies present in this
  version of Visual Studio.
• Mobile Designer
• This is an extended version of ASP .NET and .NET
  Framework. It provides an environment to develop
  web based applications for cell phones, pagers
  and PDAs. This particular environment is clubbed
  into IDE of Visual Studio. Using this one can
  built mobile web applications and also edit a
  mobile web form. All this from inside the Visual
  Studio.

• XML Web Services
• These services can be termed as applications that
  can call for data and requests using XML in place
  of HTTP. These services are not compatible to a
  particular technology or platform, and therefore
  can be used by any of the languages or operating
  systems. In Visual Studio you can integrate web
  services from XML using C, Java Script etc.
• Web Forms
• These are used to construct programmable and
  interactive web pages. Being browser compatible
  HTML and script, it allows to display the pages
  across all platforms. Web pages can be created
  using this by making use of design controls in
  the front end and code at the back. Just like you
  would create the VB forms.

5

• Visual J
• Those who have the knowledge of Java can use this
  development environment to construct applications
  and services using Java language syntax. That too
  on .NET framework. It clubs the Java syntax into
  the Visual Studios integrated development
  environment (IDE). Visual J has almost all the
  functionality present in Visual J 6.0. This
  also include extensions from Microsoft.
  Applications developed using this cannot run on a
  Java Virtual Machine. They would only run in the
  .NET framework.

.NET Framework

• The .NET framework is composed of mainly three
  parts namely
• CLR or Common Language Runtime
• This forms the core of the framework. It manages
  memory allocation and garbage collection as well.
  Keeps a control over the running processes,
  ensures that the security policy is maintained.
  Handling the dependency of one component on
  another one. During the development phase, its
  role varies as it takes to automation. It makes
  the work of developer easy, specifically as
  compared to COM.
• Unified Programming Classes
• It provides developers with APIs better known as
  application programming interface libraries. As
  of now, C coders use MFC, while Java coding
  experts use WFC. The framework brings these
  separate models under one roof and give VB and
  Jscript programmers access to class libraries.

• ASP .NET
• It provides a web application development
  environment with a group of controls and
  infrastructure that make it easy to build web
  applications in ASP. It includes HTML interfaces
  like drop down menus and text boxes. It also
  provides services like session management and
  process recycling. It reduces the amount of code
  required to be written and increase applications
  reliability.

Getting Started

• Walkthroughs allow you to guide through task
  completion in Visual Studio .NET. Read them to
  get to know the product and how different
  technologies can be combined.
• Web Forms Application Walkthroughs
• Mentions the process for developing a web based
  application clubbed with business object
  components.
• Rich Client Walkthroughs
• Throws light on the process for developing a MFC
  based application.
• Enterprise Templates
• Visual Studio serves you with a variety of
  project templates that can be used for various
  distributed applications. They define the basic
  structure and also provide architecture and
  technology oriented guidance for design purposes.

• Moving Existing Applications
• Each release comes with advanced tools and
  technologies. Therefore, applications developed
  with earlier version may be required to be
  updated in order to be compatible with the latest
  version. Similarly, Visual Studio also may be
  required to be updated so that it can load and
  function with the latest version of Visual
  Studio. We provide it jobs in pune so register to
  get a dream job after training.
