This book provides information on how to design, debug, and deploy applications using component-based development and the new development tool from Visual Studio.NET: Visual C#. It also explains how to develop a wide variety of components, such as web controls, data access, enterprise level components, file service, multithreaded components, accessibility components and more. The book is aimed at readers who are new to Visual C#, but are already intermediate to advanced programmers familiar with another language. They understand object-oriented programming and are looking for .NET solutions to their programming challenges.
