TEMARIO Y CONTENIDOS

Programming with Managed Extensions for Microsoft Visual C++ .NET

Course 2558—Three days—Instructor-led

Introduction

The goal of this course is to teach existing C++ developers how to write applications for the Microsoft® .NET Framework by using Managed Extensions for C++. The course teaches the language differences between standard C++ and Managed Extensions for C++, and focuses on issues such as efficiency and optimization. The course also discusses interoperability with unmanaged code, and shows how to use COM effectively in managed code.

Audience

This course is intended for corporate developers, solution providers, IT Web developers, and IT database developers who are responsible for building knowledge management solutions that provide data analysis, reporting, presentation, and workflow.

At Course Completion

At the end of the course, students will be able to:

•

Create Managed C++ applications that execute in the .NET Framework.

•

Define __gc (garbage collected) classes in C++.

•

Use __gc pointers and references.

•

Define and use value types.

•

Use inheritance with __gc classes.

•

Use __gc arrays, .NET Framework collections, and reflection.

•

Use properties, named operator functions, and exceptions in managed code.

•

Migrate unmanaged C++ code to Managed C++.

•

Use COM interoperability with managed code.

Prerequisites

Before attending this course, students must have:

•

Programming experience with C++, using object-oriented programming techniques.

•

Familiarity with C++ template libraries.

Microsoft Certified Professional Exams
