Building
Windows Applications with Visual Studio .NET
Microsoft
Organizations striving to provide customers with the richest
client experience possible know the importance of Windows-based
applications. With Visual Studio .NET, the biggest challenges
surrounding Windows application development have been addressed,
enabling faster development and simplified deployment. In
this session, learn the ins and outs of building robust Windows
applications with Visual Studio .NET.

Visual Studio
.NET Data Access
Microsoft
If you're a COM-based ADO developer, you're in for a
treat when moving to .NET. It's amazing how much you
can accomplish with very little code using Visual Studio
.NET's tools for working with data, along with the classes
provided by the System.Data namespace. In this session,
you'll learn the basics of using the new ADO.NET Managed
Providers, and how to retrieve, display, and modify
data--all with very little code! Need to call a SQL
Server stored procedure to retrieve data? No problem!
In addition, you'll see how to dig into ADO.NET classes
in code, as well. Almost every .NET application needs
to manipulate data in one way or another, and this session
gets you what you need to get up and running.

Building and
Consuming XML Web Services
Yasser Shohoud, Microsoft
We’ll go beyond the hype surrounding Web services and
show you how to leverage them with practical applications.
Assuming you already know the basics of Web services, we’ll
start by examining types of applications that could benefit
from using Web services. We’ll then examine an example
application of each type including application integration,
business-to-business integration, and content delivery. We’ll
spend a greater part of the hour examining working code to
understand the techniques and challenges of applying Web services.
2:45 p.m.
Middle-Tier
Component Development in Visual Studio .NET
Microsoft
Multi-tier development is an essential component for today
and tomorrow’s distributed Windows DNA apps. The Visual
Studio development team will detail Visual Studio .NET’s
rich set of framework components at each tier of app development:
user interface, business logic and data.
4 p.m.
Deploying
Visual Studio .NET Applications
Microsoft
Learn how to create installers applications written
in Visual Studio .NET—both traditional Windows
applications and Web applications. Learn how to include
the .NET Framework in your installer, how to use dynamic

“Visual Studio Tools for Office” to automate and extend
Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel using Visual Basic
.NET and Visual C# .NET. You’ll also learn how "Office
11" makes connecting and using data simpler through
its broad support for standards-based XML and how Word
and Excel templates can be designed with an underlying
customer-defined XML schema.
