Developing Web Applications.chm

This book is designed for developers interested in developing Web applications at an intermediate and advanced level. It includes developing server-based applications that use the .NET Framework to present HTML content and retrieve data from client browsers running over the Internet.

This book also addresses the objectives of the Microsoft Certified Professional Exam 70-305 and Exam 70-315. Programming is a conceptual skill that requires hands-on practice as well as familiarity with many facts. This training kit provides that practice in the form of labs at the end of each chapter. In order to be prepared for the Microsoft Certified Professional Exam 70-305 or 70-315 you must complete these labs. In some cases this will require use of additional materials – in particular the Visual Studio online Help.

The Visual Studio .NET programming environment presents new window types, new ways to manage those windows, and new integration with Internet content. This lesson offers a tour of these new features as well as an overview of some of the older Visual Studio .NET debugging and Help features presented from a Web application–programming viewpoint.

If you’ve programmed with earlier versions of Visual Studio and feel like skipping this lesson, be aware that you can no longer make changes to an application while debugging without restarting the application. That particular Visual Studio .NET feature, called edit-and-continue, is no longer available in Visual Basic .NET or Visual C#.
