20483 Programming in C#
This training course teaches developers the programming skills that are required for developers
to create Windows applications using the C# language
Length Days: 5 | Length Hours: 40
Target Audience
This course is intended for experienced developers who already have programming experience
in C, C++, JavaScript, Objective-C, Microsoft Visual Basic®, or Java and understand the concepts
of object-oriented programming.
This course is not designed for students who are new to programming; it is targeted at
professional developers with at least one month of experience programming in an object-
oriented environment.
Course Objectives
After completing this course, students will be able to:
• Describe the core syntax and features of C#.
• Create and call methods, catch and handle exceptions, and describe the monitoring
requirements of large-scale applications.
• Implement the basic structure and essential elements of a typical desktop application.
• Create classes, define and implement interfaces, and create and use generic collections.
• Use inheritance to create a class hierarchy, extend a .NET Framework class, and create
generic classes and methods.
• Read and write data by using file input/output and streams, and serialize and deserialize
data in different formats.
• Create and use an entity data model for accessing a database and use LINQ to query and
update data.
• Use the types in the System.Net namespace and WCF Data Services to access and query
remote data.
• Build a graphical user interface by using XAML.
• Improve the throughput and response time of applications by using tasks and
asynchronous operations.
• Integrate unmanaged libraries and dynamic components into a C# application.
• Examine the metadata of types by using reflection, create and use custom attributes,
generate code at runtime, and manage assembly versions.
• Encrypt and decrypt data by using symmetric and asymmetric encryption.
