Beginning C# 2010 (5th Edition, Volume 2)

This volume is the second half of the Chinese edition of Beginning C# 2010 (5th Edition), originally published by Wrox and brought to China by Tsinghua University Press in 2010 as part of the Wrox Red Book series. Built on C# 2010 and the .NET Framework 4, the book covers the full chain from language fundamentals to Windows and Web application development and down to low-level data access. In the overall structure, the first half concentrates on the C# language itself, including an overview of the .NET Framework and an introduction to C#, variables and expressions, flow control, functions, object-oriented programming and relationships between objects, collections and generics, debugging and error handling, WPF and WCF related technologies, and newer features such as lambda expressions and extension methods. The second half turns to application-layer development, covering Windows Forms and graphics programming, deploying Windows applications, ASP.NET Web programming, database access (ADO.NET and Entity Framework related content), and data access technologies such as XML and LINQ. This volume follows the language fundamentals of Volume 1 and focuses on Windows and Web programming together with applied practice in database and XML data access. Through step-by-step instructions and sample demonstrations of writing and debugging programs, it helps readers complete exercises hands-on in the Visual C# 2010 development environment of Visual Studio 2010, and answers to the exercises are provided at the end of the book. This entry corresponds to the lower volume of the split set, not a standalone new work.
