In this course you'll learn about important development topics that aren't normally covered in a beginning Windows application programming course. Starting with saving objects to a stream using .NET Serialization and creating and displaying reports, you'll work through crucial topics such as attributes and reflection, programming XML using the XmlDocument class, and the XmlReader/XmlWriter classes, creating Windows Services, and drawing your own user interfaces using the System.Drawing namespace. You'll see how to handle vital distribution issues, learning about application security, versioning, and deployment. You'll dig deeper into working with the most complex of Visual Studio's built-in controls, the DataGridView control, how to extend Visual Studio 2005 in a number of different ways, get started building mobile applications, and how to interact with printers and how to print documents. You're certain to find many topics here that will extend your knowledge, your capabilities, and your value as a developer.Serialization
