In this course, you’ll learn how to use
Visual Studio .NET and Visual Basic .NET to build ASP.NET Web pages and
XML Web services. You’ll gain an understanding of the new architecture
behind ASP.NET and how to use the new server controls. You also learn
how to use ADO.NET to create data-driven ASP.NET Web forms.
In this course, you will
learn to:
Use ASP.NET server controls to
generate HTML and to execute event procedures.
Validate user input with the ASP.NET
validation controls.
Retrieve and manipulate data using
ADO.NET.
Use the DataList, Repeater, and
DataGrid controls to create attractively formatted, interactive,
data-bound lists and tables.
Create and consume XML Web Services.
Prerequisites:
This course assumes
that students have already been introduced to Visual Studio .NET and
Visual Basic .NET, and have a basic understanding of the .NET Framework.
Some prior experience with Web development will be helpful.

This course takes you beyond the basics of
creating Web pages and XML Web Services with ASP.NET, by presenting the
techniques and concepts you’ll need to build efficient, full-featured
Web applications. You’ll learn to inter-operate with non-.NET code, to
manage session state, to re-use code by creating your own controls, to
improve performance with output caching, to debug your application and
trace its activity, to use advanced Web services features, to configure
and deploy ASP.NET applications, to authenticate users and limit their
access to resources, to handle multi-user data access conflicts, and to
support mobile devices.
In this course, you will learn to:
Create ASP.NET custom and user
controls to speed development time.
Take advantage of ASP.NET’s
versatile output caching to increase performance.
Add scalability and reliability by
setting up and out-of-process session state server.
Make asynchronous calls to XML Web
Services.
Create a Web Setup project in Visual
Studio to build a deployment package that takes advantage of Windows
Installer.
Prerequisites:
This course
assumes that you already know how to create ASP.NET Web pages and
XML Web Services, using Visual Studio .NET, Visual Basic .NET, and
ADO.NET.
