Summary

Updated for .NET 2.0, the second edition, shows seasoned developers how use the .NET languages and .NET Framework libraries to build robust, component-based applications. As one of the few practical books available on the topic, Programming .NET Components stands alone. It shows readers how interface-based programming, concurrent threads, events, asynchronous calls, context management tools, serialisation, security and much more are used to weave together a distributed application. After reading this book, programmers will be able to start developing .NET components immediately. No other source comes close to the detail this guide offers. This is a re-issue of the book formerly published under ISBN 0596007620.
