If you're simply curious about what .NET offers, this book provides a strong overview of the .NET Framework and the C# and Visual Basic .NET languages, helping you to assess these new technologies through the lens of Visual FoxPro. If you're already "sold" and are ready to learn specifics about how to use .NET in your software development projects, this book provides plenty of "how to", "step-by-step" and "best practices" information that will help you climb the .NET learning curve and get up and running quickly.

This book is a how-to book for Visual FoxPro developers. It describes the FoxPro development process and describes the VB .NET equivalents. In addition, it points out new VB .NET features that are not required in FoxPro, as well as VB .NET features that do things that FoxPro doesn't do. This book will take FoxPro developers by the hand, describing every step of the FoxPro development followed by the best practice VB .NET equivalent. Since many developers never upgraded to VFP 8, techniques in both versions will be compared with the VB equivalents. With the discontinuance of Microsoft Visual FoxPro there will soon be no demand for FoxPro developers. Without a book to help them make the transition to another development environment, many VFP developers will be out of a job. This book is exactly what they need to keep their jobs and even advance their careers.

Starting with simple examples, you¿ll see how the multi-user, local area network applications that Visual FoxPro developers are used to building are constructed in Visual Basic .NET. You¿ll learn how to use Crystal Reports to build reports like the ones you build in FoxPro. You¿ll discover how to use DataAdapters and datasets instead of DBFs. You¿ll see examples of the paradigm shift that client-server programming imposes, and why .NET solves that problem (even when you wouldn¿t need to solve it in FoxPro.) And you¿ll learn how to give your FoxPro and Visual Basic applications smart client remote data access. You¿ll understand how to begin the construction of a database project in Visual Basic with a container form and a MainMenu instead of using _Screen and MSYSMENU. You¿ll learn how variables are declared and used; how menus are controlled; how to use events, and why you have to use events in VB when they¿re unnecessary in FoxPro. You¿ll learn how to build inheritable forms, Visual Basic¿s answer to FoxPro¿s form class templates, to reduce programming to a minimum. You¿ll learn why properties are like variables in FoxPro, but more like functions in VB. And you¿ll learn where Visual Basic adds features that you didn¿t have in FoxPro and didn¿t know that you needed. You¿ll learn where to look for all of those FoxPro commands and functions that you need. And in case you haven¿t yet used SQL Server with FoxPro, the examples will demonstrate how it¿s done first in FoxPro, then in VB .NET. Shows how to build a typical application in Visual FoxPro, including DBF, SQL Server and Internet access; then demonstrates how to build the same type of application in VB .NET Highlights the main differences in specific issues, including printing, events, data access, creation and use of properties Contains an appendix listing the principal FoxPro commands and functions and their Visual Basic equivalents Includes a table showing where to find the settings in the FoxPro¿s Tools, Options menu pages in VB .NET Shows how to access data remotely from your FoxPro and VB .NET applications Explains how project DLLs are created and used in other projects within a solution Shows how to use middle tier business objects to simplify ongoing development Source code downloadable from www.samspublishing.com

What is this book about? If you want to use Visio to create enterprise software, this is the book for you. The integration of Visual Studio .NET Enterprise Architect and Visio for Enterprise Architects provides a formidable tool. Visio offers powerful diagramming capabilities, including such things as creating UML models, mapping out databases with Entity Relationship diagrams, and aiding the development of distributed systems. Its integration with Visual Studio .NET Enterprise Architect means that C# or Visual Basic .NET code can be generated from the UML diagrams, and Visual Studio .NET projects can be reverse engineered to UML models. For the developer already familiar with UML and looking to get the best out of Visio, the Visual Studio .NET and Visio for Enterprise Architects combination is weakly documented, and the quality information needed to realize the time-saving features of Visio just does not seem to be available, until now. This book presumes that you are already familiar with the basic concepts of UML notation — this book will not teach you UML. Instead, this book will take you forward into the Visio environment, showing you how to make the most of its software related features. What does this book cover? In this book, you'll learn how to Diagram business components in Visio Generate code from a UML model Reverse engineer Visual Studio .NET projects into a UML model Reverse engineer into a UML model without source code Document the project with UML and Visio Design distributed applications with Visio's diagrams Work with Entity Relationship database modeling, and round-trip engineering for database design

With SharePoint 2010, developers finally have the powerful, end-to-end development tools they need to build outstanding solutions quickly and painlessly. What’s more, those tools are built directly into the latest version of Visual Studio, the development platform most Microsoft developers already know. In this book, the Microsoft experts who created these tools show you how to take full advantage of them. The authors focus specifically on the SharePoint scenarios that Visual Studio 2010 now makes accessible to mainstream Microsoft developers. They assume no experience with SharePoint development and focus on SharePoint Foundation 2010: the low-cost version designed for organizations and departments of all kinds, not just large enterprises. SharePoint 2010 Development with Visual Studio 2010shows how to get your solution up and running fast, and then extend it to meet your precise business requirements. You’ll learn how to develop, package, and deploy robust SharePoint business collaboration applications without any unnecessary complexity or overhead. Following a practical, developer-focused introduction to Microsoft SharePoint 2010, you’ll learn about Visual Studio 2010 templates and tools that simplify the creation of SharePoint solutions The SharePoint object model and its most frequently used methods, properties, and events Using lists to store, manage, and share data Responding to events related to lists, features, items, or workflows Integrating external data with Business Data Connectivity Services Using content types that ship with SharePoint 2010—and creating new ones Building multi-step workflows and custom forms that work with them Utilizing Web Parts to present different data and applications on the same page Customizing SharePoint pages or navigation with ASP.NET Packaging and deploying solutions, and customizing deployment to your unique requirements Whether you’re just starting out with SharePoint development, upgrading from earlier versions, or building on experience with ASP.NET, this book will help you solve real problems and get real results—fast!
