Developing in Visual Studio 2005 Course Outline

Duration 5 Days

Objectives
This course will enable delegates to develop Windows applications using Visual Studio 2005. The programming language used is C# and the course will cover the principles of object orientated programming. Delegates will be able to access data from a database and update this from a Windows form. Delegates will progress to be able to access a remote application, by creating then calling a web service.

Audience
This course is designed for those who are responsible for implementing database objects and programming SQL Server databases by using Transact-SQL.

Prerequisites
An understanding of basic relational database concepts, including:

• Logical and physical database design
• Relationships between tables and columns (primary key and foreign key, one-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-many)
• How data is stored in tables (rows and columns).
• Knowledge of basic Transact-SQL syntax (SELECT, UPDATE, and INSERT statements)
