Overview
This course is intended for professional and experienced developers for creating Windows applications using the Visual C# language. This course reviews the basics of Visual C# program structure, language syntax, and implementation details, and discusses building an application that incorporates several features of the .NET Framework 4.7.
What You'll Learn

- Implement the basic structure and essential elements of a typical desktop application
- Create classes, define and implement interfaces, and create and use generic collections
- Use inheritance to create a class hierarchy and to extend a .NET Framework class
- Read and write data by using file input/output and streams, and serialize and deserialize data in different formats
- Create and use an entity data model for accessing a database and use LINQ to query data
- Access and query remote data by using the types in the System.Net namespace and WCF Data Services
- Build a graphical user interface by using XAML
- Improve the throughput and response time of applications by using tasks and asynchronous operations
- Integrate unmanaged libraries and dynamic components into a Visual C# application
- Examine the metadata of types by using reflection, create and use custom attributes generate code at runtime, and manage assembly versions
- Encrypt and decrypt data by using symmetric and asymmetric encryption

Prerequisites
Participants must know how to name, declare, initialize, and assign values to variables within an application. They should have experience using arithmetic operators to perform arithmetic calculations involving one or more variables, relational operators to test the relationship between two variables or expressions and Logical operators to combine expressions that contain relational operators.
Participants need to have experience creating code syntax for simple programming statements using C# language keywords and recognize syntax errors using the Visual Studio IDE, simple branching structure using an IF statement, simple looping structure using a For statement to iterate through a data array and function that accepts arguments (parameters and returns a value of a specified type.
Additionally, they must have an understanding of how to use the Visual Studio IDE to locate simple logic errors, design and build a simple user interface using standard controls from the Visual Studio toolbox, connect to a SQL Server database and the basics of how to retrieve and store data, sort data in a loop and recognize the classes and methods used in a program
