Riassunto

This book is the first of a two volume set that will provide .NET developers with a detailed annotated reference to the most common and useful parts of the .NET Framework Class Library. Also included are complete descriptions, methods, and diagrams. While the specs are available online, the annotations from the .NET Framework team have been written for this work, and are available nowhere else. These will be for .NET developers what Patrick Chan's Java Class Library books have been for Java developers. The complete spec is available in seven volumes from Microsoft Press, costing more than $385. We think ours will sell much better because: - We know how to publish specifications. Ours will have the thorough index and navigational tools that developers need. - We have the creators of the technology writing and promoting our book - Rather than cover in print all the arcane seldomly used parts, we are concentrating on the most used pieces of the spec - Ours has detailed annotations, descriptions, and code samples from the .NET Framework team which will be available nowhere else

Dalla quarta di copertina

Edited by a Lead Program Manager on Microsoft's .NET Framework team, .NET Framework Standard Library Annotated Reference, Volume 1, is the definitive reference for the .NET Framework base class library. This book utilizes extensive annotations and code samples from the creators of the technology to move beyond the online documentation and provide .NET developers with a dictionary-style reference to the most-used parts of the Framework. This volume covers a subset of the ISO CLI Standards, including the Base Class Library and the Extended Numerics Library.

In the printed book you will find informative overviews of each namespace covered and an easy-to-follow alphabetic reference of types in the standard, including type-level descriptions, sample code with output, and annotations from the design team and standardization committee.

With the ECMA and ISO standards as its core, this book includes:

• Annotations from key members of the Microsoft design team and the Standardization committee. Comments cover everything from design rationale and history to common problems and shortcomings.
• An overview of each namespace, describing its functionality and the inheritance hierarchy of types it defines.
• Type descriptions. Each type is covered in its own chapter, with a detailed description of how the type is to be used and a quick reference of the C# declaration syntax for all members defined on the type. Also noted: which members are only available in the Microsoft implementation of the .NET Framework, which are not available in the .NET Compact Framework, and which are only available in V1.1 of the .NET Framework.
• Code samples. Types are illustrated by fully compilable code samples with output included.
• Reference tabs and an exhaustive index, which allow readers to quickly and easily navigate the text.
• Reusable source code for more than one thousand samples. All code has been tested with versions 1.0, 1.1, and the 2.0 technical preview of the .NET Framework, and, where appropriate, with the .NET Compact Framework.
