The Microsoft .NET Micro Framework is a small and efficient .NET runtime environment used to run managed code on devices that are too small and resource constrained for Windows CE and the Compact Framework.

Expert .NET Micro Framework will teach you everything you need to know to use the .NET Micro Framework to create effective embedded applications. It begins with the basics of accessing hardware and networking before delving deep into the less-known areas such as cryptography and globalization, and how to use technologies such as wireless communication that are not directly supported by the .NET Micro Framework. This book is a must if you want to get as much as possible out of the .NET Micro Framework to write powerful embedded applications.

Expert .NET Micro Framework also describes how to use resources and write globalized and multilingual embedded applications. You will learn how to effectively use binary serialization to store data permanently in flash memory or…

ASP.NET 4 is the principal standard for creating dynamic web pages on the Windows platform. Pro ASP.NET 4 in C# 2010 raises the bar for high-quality, practical advice on learning and deploying Microsoft's dynamic web solution.

This edition is updated with everything you need to master up to version 4 of ASP.NET, including coverage of ASP.NET MVC, ASP.NET AJAX 4, ASP.NET Dynamic Data, and Silverlight 3.

Seasoned .NET professionals Matthew MacDonald and Mario Szpuszta explain how you can get the most from these groundbreaking technologies. They cover ASP.NET 4 as a whole, illustrating both the newer features and the functionality carried over from previous versions of ASP. This book will give you the knowledge you need to code real ASP.NET 4 applications in the best possible style.

Beginning Web Programming in VB .NET: From Novice to Professional will teach you the fundamentals of the web environment and how Visual Studio .NET (VS .NET) makes it accessible to VB programmers. You'll build a working website that demonstrates all the elements of a VB web application. Author Daniel Cazzulino takes a step-by-step approach to each example to explore the essential technologies and how VS .NET helps to integrate them into a highly interactive, attractive web application.

“A highly readable and comprehensive reference to data access capabilities of the .NET Framework. Suitable for the newcomer and ‘guru’ alike.”

—Arpan Desai, program manager, System.Xml, Webdata XML Team, Microsoft Corporation“This book goes beyond the typical API reference and goes in detail into why you would use each new feature, what scenarios they were designed for, and how things work from end to end. Great way of getting started with data access in .NET 2.0.”

—Pablo Castro, program manager, ADO.NET Team, Microsoft Corporation“An insightful look at the XML features in version 2.0 of the .NET Framework v. 2.0 by one of the minds behind many of the innovations in the System.Xml namespace. Even though I was one of the Program Managers who worked on version 2.0 of System.Xml, Mark Fussell’s chapters still taught me a few things I didn’t know about working with XML in the .NET Framework…

Written for experienced web developers, this book overviews the changes to expect in the new release of ADO.NET, and introduces Microsoft's brand-new System.XML namespaces. Topics include the new bulk data copy features, asynchronous command execution, SQL server query notifications, properties and methods for the XPathDocument2 class, the XmlAdapter class, and the Xquery processor class.

In 2005, Microsoft quietly announced an initiative to bring dynamic languages to the .NET platform. The starting point for this project was a .NET implementation of Python, dubbed IronPython. After a couple years of incubation, IronPython is ready for real-world use. It blends the simplicity, elegance, and dynamism of Python with the power of the .NET framework.

IronPython in Action offers a comprehensive, hands-on introduction to Microsoft's exciting new approach for programming the .NET framework. It approaches IronPython as a first class .NET language, fully integrated with the .NET environment, Visual Studio, and even the open-source Mono implementation. You'll learn how IronPython can be embedded as a ready-made scripting language into C# and VB.NET programs, used for writing full applications or for web development with ASP. Even better, you'll see how IronPython works in Silverlight for client-side web programming.

IronPython opens up exciting new…

XML is everywhere in the Microsoft .NET Framework, from Remoting to Web services and from data access to configuration. Learn about the extensive XML core classes in .NET and find out how to program against its parser in this in-depth guide—written by a popular programming author and consultant on cutting-edge technologies such as Microsoft ASP.NET and Microsoft ADO.NET. You’ll find authoritative explanations of technologies such as schemas, transformations, and XPath, plus extensive discussion of data access issues such as synchronization and serialization, the DiffGram format, and the XML extensions in Microsoft SQL Server 2000. Along the way, you’ll learn exactly how to get the best performance out of XML in the .NET world. You’ll also get answers to common questions such as, “When should I use XML Web services instead of Remoting?”

Topics covered include:

XML CORE CLASSES IN THE .NET FRAMEWORK

Written for ASP developers, this book introduces the extensible markup language (XML) and its implementation in the .NET framework, focusing on implementations with ASP.NET. The authors describe XML schemas, XSLT, the MSXML parser, classes in the system.xml namespace, data access with ADO.NET, and the SQL server 2000. The final chapters provide sample code for an XML- based dynamic web page builder and a simple mobile device application. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 provides the programming model for building, deploying, and running interoperable Web-based applications, smart client applications, and XML Web services. It manages the difficult details of interoperability to enable developers to focus on writing the business logic code for cross-platform applications. Available in printed form for the first time, this volume includes the .NET Framework 1.1 System.XML namespace, which provides standards-based support for processing XML, and the System.Data namespace, including the classes that constitute the ADO.NET architecture, which empowers developers to build components that efficiently manage data from multiple data sources.

The System.XML namespace includes classes such as:

• The XmlDocument class, which represents an XML document.
• The XmlTextReader class, which represents a reader that provides fast, non-cached, forward-only access to XML data.
• The XmlUrlResolver class, which…
