This course is a part of the Microsoft Visual Basic® .NET curriculum and is intended for Visual Basic .NET programmers to be able to create Windows applications using the .NET Framework. The course will cover the major topics for Windows client application programming on the .NET Framework. These include: Windows Forms; GDI+; simple data access; interoperating with unmanaged code; threading and asynchronous programming issues; simple remoting, Web access, Web Services consumption; debugging; security, and deployment issues for desktop applications.
This course includes the following modules:
Module 1: Introducing Windows Forms
- This module introduces Windows forms and controls in the .NET framework. Students will learn how to create and populate base forms and inherited forms using the Visual Studio .NET framework. They will also learn how to add controls to a form and how to display and hide forms.
- Creating a Form
- Adding Controls to a Form
- Creating an Inherited Form
- Organizing Controls on a Form
- Creating MDI Applications
Module 2: Working With Controls
- This module explains how to create event procedures (handlers) in your application that will run in response to user actions. Students will learn how to add programming logic to the event procedures of a control, how to use the Windows Forms intrinsic controls, dialog boxes, and menus, and how to validate the data entered by users of your application.
