Session Descriptions
Keynote: Microsoft .NET
.NET is Microsoft’s platform for XML Web Services, the next generation of software that connects our world of information, devices, and people in a secure, unified, personalized way. This session provides an overview of the .NET Platform, what it is, where it came from, why it’s important, and how it provides a unified solution for helping developers build the next generation of experiences and innovative solutions.
Overview of .NET Framework and Visual Studio .NET
The .NET Framework is a platform for building, deploying, and running distributed XML Web Services and applications. It consists of two main parts: the common language runtime and a unified set of class libraries that includes ASP.NET, ADO.NET, and Windows Forms. Visual Studio .NET is the comprehensive tool for rapidly building and integrating XML Web Services and applications, dramatically increasing developer productivity and enabling new business opportunities. This session provides an overview of both the .NET Framework and Visual Studio .NET and provides a first hand look at the framework and tools that will help you rapidly build powerful solutions that span any device or platform.
Best Practices for Upgrading Visual Basic 6 Projects to Visual Basic .NET
Learn how to effectively upgrade you Visual Basic 6 applications to Visual Basic .NET using the tools provided with Visual Studio .NET. This session discusses your upgrade options, interoperability between Visual Basic 6 and Visual Basic .NET, and recommendations for effectively designing and building Visual Basic .NET applications.
COM Interoperability and COM+ Services in .NET
Learn how .NET Framework components and COM components interact through wrappers that facilitate simple, straightforward bidirectional communication between managed and unmanaged code. This session will cover how to implement CLR components that take advantage of COM+ services (now known as .NET Component Services)
