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 intended for programmers who have some experience working with Visual Studio. They aim to extend their knowledge and learn some of the new features of Visual Studio 2005.
