Visual Studio 2008 and .NET 3.5 Using Visual Basic
Rev 1.0
.NET Training Overview

.NET 3.0 introduced the important new technologies of Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) and Windows Workflow Foundation (WF). Although there were extensions for Visual Studio 2005, there was not yet full-blown tool support. Visual Studio 2008 brings this tool support along with a further update to the .NET Framework, .NET 3.5. This newest version of the Framework also introduces the important data access technology, Language-Integrated Query (LINQ) along with significant enhancements to the Visual Basic language, largely intended to support LINQ.

This three-day hands-on course introduces these new technologies to the experienced developer who has a good working knowledge of .NET and Visual Studio 2005. Numerous programming examples and exercises are provided. The student will receive a complete set of notes and all the programming examples.

.NET Learning Objectives

  • Become familiar with the Visual Studio 2008 development environment and understand which version is appropriate for specific tasks
  • Gain a working knowledge of implicitly typed variables, lambda expressions, query keywords, and other new features of Visual Basic 2008
  • Use LINQ to access data from collections, databases, and XML
  • Use WPF and Extensible Markup Language (XAML) to create Windows applications
  • Implement workflow applications using WF
  • Implement distributed applications using WCF
.NET Training Prerequisites

The student should have programming experience in Visual Basic and version 2.0 of the .NET Framework and be familiar with the Visual Studio 2005 development environment.

.NET Training Course duration

3 days. The course could be run on a two-day timeline by omitting a number of the labs.
