Preface
[edit | edit source]Welcome to the 'Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Application Development Foundation' module.
This book provides extensive "textbook like" coverage of the exam objectives associated with exam 70-536 of the Microsoft certification program. Those objectives cover the basic .NET class libraries and the interaction of a program with the .NET execution environment.
Please give us your feedback on the module so we can improve it (see discussion page).
The preface contains information relevant to the context of the document, authors, wikibooks, etc. You can skip to the Introduction if you are primarily interested in the module content.
Audience and other Wikibooks resources
[edit | edit source]The audience for this study guide are software developers professionally interested in the .NET framework. Microsoft states in the Exam (70-536) preparation guide that "Candidates should have at least two to three years of experience developing Web-based, Microsoft Windows-based, or distributed applications by using the .NET Framework 1.0, the .NET Framework 1.1, and the .NET Framework 2.0. Candidates should have a working knowledge of Visual Studio 2005.".
For this study guide, we will just assume that readers know at least one of the .NET languages (VB.NET, C#, etc.), have access to Visual Studio and have some experience working with it.
Please note that the .NET platform is quite extensive and that a basic understanding of computer science is also assumed. For example, we will briefly discuss how object-orientation principles are implemented in the framework (from a developer point of view) but not the principles themselves, where do they come from, what specific problems they address, etc.
Wikibooks has other books both on VB, C# and .NET that are more introductory in nature:
- A description of NET 3.0 features
- An introduction to VB .NET
- A featured book on C#
Finally, by "professionally interested" we refer to the fact that this book, along with the other certification study guides, provides an extensive coverage of the framework and demands a significant study time. So anybody that wants to get that kind of coverage and has some time to spare can join in!
Contributions
[edit | edit source]This module is far from over! Please do not hesitate to improve it as you see fit.
Just a couple of pointers though if you are a new contributor to wikibooks:
- Wikibooks are about textbooks not "standard" wikis. The project team is looking for continuous narratives that can be read from top to bottom. For somebody used to the MSDN type of documentation this can be a significant adjustment.
- Links only pages do not fit the above picture and are actively discouraged. If you create a page, be sure to have content to put on it :-)
- The administrators use templates to ask questions or notify of incomplete tasks. Those templates produce rather flashy notices that can be surprising at first. Don't worry about the look and ask for clarifications. The admins are very helpful and nice and will help you with whatever you may need.
- Code samples are very welcome and should be put in "hidden" sections to preserve the flow of the text. see example section. A sample should be kept as short as possible but the space limitations of printed material obviously do not apply here. We thus encourage you to have complete, yet clear and simple, programs so they can be directly tested and used.
- Use the discussion page for questions or comments.
- Use the official Actual4Exam's 70-536-CSHARP or 70-536-VB Simulation PrepKit for passing the 70-536 exam.
- Try uCertify's 70-536-CSHARP or 70-536-VB Simulation PrepKit for passing the 70-536 exam.
- Try qualitydumps 70-536 or examsdeal 70-536 Simulation exam questions for passing the 70-536 exam.

- If you contribute to this book, if you wish, please add your name here. The contributors for a specific article can be traced by its history.
Please note that it is not wikibook's policy to have link only pages or pages with very few text. The preferred way is to have continuous textbooks that can be read from start to finish. The first contributions to this module where in the form of separate pages for each third or forth level exam objectives. This gave way to numerous pages that were merged into more consistent global pages. For links only page, this process had the adverse side effect of losing references to contributions made to those pages. For pages with text the change history were moved to the merged page.

We reference that book as the "training kit" since it is recommended by Microsoft as a training aid for the 70-536 exam (for example see MCPD).

This is not required for the exam but we will use the specification a couple of times to clarify ambiguities in the MSDN documentation or other reference manuals.
