Infragistics
has done it again! Check out this free .NET resource at their DevCenter.
Jason Beres, who is a recognized .NET author, INETA Speaker, and
MVP, developed this ebook and application. Even if you’re not into using
3rd party controls, I wouldn’t overlook this book, especially if
you’re a Windows developer. Consider the description below…
Tracker
is a sample n-Tier Windows Forms application that demonstrates the uses of
Infragistics presentation layer controls as well as key Microsoft technologies
implemented in a true n-tier architecture. There is a 10
chapter ebook that accompanies the Tracker application, which will give
developers an insight as to why certain things were done, how the application
was written, and how to enhance the application for their own use.
With
the ink-enabled controls of Volume 3 of the Infragistics NetAdvantage toolset,
the Tracker application is fully TabletPC ready, which gives developers an
insight as to how simple it is to write robust ink-enabled applications using
the Volume 3 controls. Besides the vast array of presentation layer
elements from Volume 3 used in the Tracker application, some of the key
Microsoft technologies demonstrated are:
- Web
Services Enhancements WS-Security, allowing secure authentication from the
Windows Forms application to a web service for data access.
- Microsoft
Data Access Application block
- Microsoft
Exception Management application block
- Microsoft
Application Updater application block
- Multithreaded
Windows Forms application for data access
- Structure
for implementing online and offline data access without using Datasets
- XML Web
Service data access or data access directly to SQL Server
Great job
Dean, Brad, and Jason!
