Pro Visual C++/CLI and the .NET 2.0 Platform

This book explains how to write . NET 2.0 applications and services. It provides you with a clean slate, erasing the need for developing the COM, DCOM, COM+, or ActiveX components that used to be a necessity. Instead, you'll learn how to write . NET applications using C++/CLI.

This book is based on its highly successful predecessor, and bridges the gap between classic C++ and C++/CLI. Furthermore, this edition is based on the newest version of Visual Studio . NET (2005) and . NET 2.0. All topic areas include specific code examples. By the end of the book, you will be proficient in developing . NET applications and services for both the Windows desktop and the Web.
