Programming in C#

• Core syntax and features of Visual C#
• Create methods handle exceptions, and describe the monitoring requirements of large-scale applications
• 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/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
