Training

This two-day instructor-led course provides students with the knowledge and skills to access and modify data by using ADO.NET 3.5.

This three-day instructor-led course provides students with the knowledge and skills to develop applications with the C# 3.0 language and the LINQ (Language Integrated Query) framework.
LINQ is Microsoft’s framework for bridging the gap between various data sources and the .NET object-oriented languages. LINQ abstracts away the data source, providing an intuitive, declarative and uniform query interface to object collections, SQL-based relational databases and XML documents. Its extensibility features facilitate integrating additional data sources through the use of custom query providers. LINQ C# integration relies heavily on a set of new features of the C# 3.0 language.

The course is packed with practical code samples, demos and exercises to facilitate understanding the motivation of LINQ, the design patterns for its application, and its potential pitfalls.

In this course, experienced developers who know the basics of data access (CRUD) in Windows client and Web application environments will learn to optimize their designs and develop better performing data access code by using the ADO.NET Entity Framework, LINQ, WCF Data Services, the Sync Framework, and ADO.NET.
