Key Visual C++ .NET concepts are presented in the context offully-tested programs, complete with syntax shading, detailed line-by-line descriptions and programoutputs. The book features 228 LIVE-CODE programs that contain 34,131 lines of proven VisualC++ .NET program code. In addition, the book includes 387 tips that help programmers build applicationsthat are portable, reusable and optimized for performance.

Start with a concise introduction to Visual C++ .NET fundamentals. Then move rapidly to moreadvanced topics including multithreading, ADO .NET database integration, ASP .NET Web services,network programming and XML processing. Along the way you'll enjoy the Deitels' classic treatmentof object-oriented programming. The book closes with a detailed treatment of unmanaged code,including attributed programming, Web-based application development with ATL Server, and managedand unmanaged interoperability. Developers will find that Visual C++ .NET offers them unique flexibilityin writing managed and unmanaged code and ATL-Server applications.
