Microsoft Certification exams This course will help the student prepare for the following Microsoft Certification exams:
Exam 70-315: Developing and Implementing Web Applications with Microsoft Visual C# .NET and Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
Exam 70-316: Developing and Implementing Windows-based Applications with Microsoft Visual C# .NET and Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
Exam 70-320: Developing XML Web Services and Server Components with Microsoft Visual C# .NET and the Microsoft .NET Framework
Module 1: Getting Started
This module presents the concepts that are central to the Microsoft .NET Framework and platform, and the Microsoft Visual Studio .NET integrated development environment (IDE); describes how to work in the development environment; and explains how to use Visual Studio .NET to create and build applications based on Microsoft .NET.
Module 2: Understanding C# Language Fundamentals
This module explains the syntax and structure of the C# programming language. These topics are essential for students to understand in order to be successful in the remainder of the course; however, it is likely that most students will come into the class with some experience applying these concepts in other languages.
Module 3: Creating Objects in C#
This module introduces the fundamentals of object-oriented programming, including the concepts of objects, classes, and methods.
Module 4: Implementing Object-Oriented Programming Techniques in C#
This module introduces the fundamentals of object-oriented programming, including the concepts of objects, classes, and methods.
Module 5: Programming with C#
This module introduces various data structures, including arrays (the System.Array class) and collections (classes in the System.Collections namespace), and explains when to use each of these data structures in an application. The module also introduces interfaces, describes the concepts and syntax of exception handling, and explains delegates and their use in event handling.
Module 6: Building .NET-based Applications with C#
This module presents the Microsoft .NET Framework class library, the Object Browser, and methods that are inherited from the System.Object class. This module also explains how to format strings and numbers and how to use streams and files.
Module 7: Using ADO.NET to Access Data
This module explains how to use Microsoft ADO.NET and the objects in the System.Data namespace to access data in a database. It describes how to create an application based on Microsoft Windows that uses ADO.NET. This module also describes how to use that application to connect to a database, create a query, and use a DataSet object to manage the data, bind data to controls, and insert, update, and delete records in a database.
Module 8: Creating Windows-based Applications
This module describes how to create menus, common and custom dialog boxes, status bars, and toolbars to enhance the usability of an application based on Microsoft Windows. The purpose of this module is to allow the students to apply their newly acquired C# language skills and develop useful Windows-based applications.
Module 9: Using XML Web Services in a C# Program
The module introduces the System.Web.Services namespace and the process of building and consuming XML Web services in a C# application.
Module 10: Creating a Web Application with Web Forms
In this module, students learn that in Microsoft Visual Studio .NET, you can use Web Forms to create programmable Web pages. This module introduces the System.Web.UI namespace and describes how to create a Web application with a Web Form. Students learn how to add controls to a Web Form and then use the Web Form to submit data and respond to events. The module also covers Microsoft ASP.NET state management, security, and configuration settings.
Module 11: Application Settings and Deployment
This module introduces the procedures that are involved in deploying a C# application by using Microsoft Visual Studio .NET. It explains how to deploy both Web-based applications and applications that are based on Microsoft Windows. It also describes how to store user preferences and configure application settings.
Module 12: Exploring Future Learning
This module provides an opportunity for students to explore some of the more advanced capabilities of C#, to practice the knowledge and skills that they acquired during the course, and discuss their questions as a group.
