What you'll learn * Learn the syntax and semantics of C++/CLI * Program Windows graphical user interface applications * Write web applications and web services in C++/CLI * Work with data in a database or XML documents * Create multithreaded and network--aware applications * See how to use C++/CLI unmanaged code properly and safely Who this book is for This book is primarily for C++ programmers who want to write applications for the .NET 3.5 platform. It also caters to those new to C++ who wish to work in .NET 3.5 and use the power of C++.

With LINQ, you can query data -- no matter what the source -- directly from Microsoft Visual Basic or C#. Guided by two data-access experts who've worked in depth with LINQ and the Microsoft development teams, you'll learn how Microsoft .NET Framework 4 implements LINQ, and how to exploit it. Study and adapt the book's examples, complete with code samples -- and deliver your own solutions faster and with leaner code. * Query data from databases, object collections, XML, and more with LINQ * Explore how LINQ works with Windows Communication Foundation, Windows Presentation Foundation, Microsoft Silverlight, Microsoft SharePoint, and ASP.NET * Review best practices for data-enabled Web applications, Rich Internet Applications, and service development * Query relational databases with LINQ to SQL or with Entity Framework to manage data, tables, views, and stored procedures * Read, write, and manage XML content more efficiently with LINQ to XML * Extend LINQ by creating custom operators and providers
