DEVELOPING MICROSOFT ASP.NET WEB APPLICATIONS Introduction This three-day ILT course provides students with the knowledge and skills to create ASP.NET 2.0 applications. It will show the advancements from ASP.NET 1.x to ASP.NET 2.0 in creating applications. The course focuses on the new features and functionality of ASP.NET. The course includes sample code in both Microsoft Visual Basic® .NET and Microsoft Visual C#®. Learning Product Pilot This course pilots the use of a Microsoft Press reference book, combined with a comprehensive Hands-On Lab manual, in an instructor-led environment. This class includes the book Introducing Microsoft ASP.NET 2.0 (ISBN 0-7356-2024-5), written by Dino Esposito, along with a Hands-On Lab manual that covers the practices, labs, and demonstrations included in the course. In this format, you receive an instructionally designed course as you would in a traditional Microsoft Official Course with the additional benefit of receiving a Microsoft Press reference book. Audience This course is intended for experienced, professional Web application developers, including those employed by software companies or working on corporate development teams. At Course Completion After completing this course, students will be able to: Describe advancements from ASP.NET 1.x to ASP.NET 2.0 in creating applications. Develop new Web solutions using ASP.NET 2.0 features and functionality. Prerequisites Before attending this course, students must have: Experience developing .NET Web applications using ASP.NET 1.0/1.1 HTML XML ADO.NET (1.0/1.1) Microsoft Certified Professional Exams No Microsoft Certified Professional exams are associated with this course currently. Course Outline Module 1: Creating an ASP.NET 2.0 Application This chapter covers the entities that form the foundation of Web applications written with ASP.NET 2.0.

Write master pages and their corresponding content pages. Create nested master pages Program master pages Module 3: Working with Data This module describes the new ASP.NET 2.0 data source model, the data-binding mechanism, and the process of connecting a Web control to a data source element. Students will learn to use the new data access features. Lessons Lesson: Using Data-Binding Lesson: Using Data Providers Lesson: Using Data Source Components Lesson: Using Data Source Control Lesson: Working with Data-Bound Controls OR Implementing Data-Bound Controls Lab: Working with Data After completing this module, students will be able to: Use data binding enhancements. Use .NET data providers. Use data source components to support the declarative model of binding Describe the ASP.NET 2.0 data binding–enhancements. Describe the ASP.NET 2.0 data provider enhancements. Describe Data Source Components. Describe the different Data Source controls. Describe the different Data-Bound controls. Module 4: Application Services In this module, students will look in more depth at wizards, image generators, site navigation functions, and counters. Lessons Lesson: Creating a Wizard Control Lesson: Generating Dynamic Images Lesson: Advanced Site Functionality Lab: Using Application Services After completing this module, students will be able to: Create a Wizard control. Generate a dynamic image. Use advanced site functionality features including site map controls and site counters on controls. Module 5: State Management In this module, students will learn how ASP.NET 2.0 goes beyond the ASP.NET 1.x Cache object and ASP Application and Session objects by providing an enhancement to the Session object. ASP.NET 2.0 introduces control state for custom ASP.NET controls, custom session-state management options, and a mechanism for handling custom cache dependencies, including SQL Server database dependencies. Lessons Lesson: Configuring the Control State Lesson: Extending the Session State Mechanism Lesson: Creating the ASP.NET Cache Object Lab: State Management After completing this module, students will be able to: Use the Control State in ASP.NET 2.0 and avoid the common problems associated with information persisting across postbacks. Extend the Session State Mechanism. Create an ASP.NET Cache Object. Module 6: Working with Web Parts In this module, students will learn how the Web Parts framework provides a simple and familiar way for ASP.NET developers to create modular Web applications that support end-user personalization. Lessons Lesson: Building Pages with Web Parts Lesson: Creating an Editable Web Part Lesson: Connecting to Other Web Parts Lab: Web Parts After completing this module, students will be able to: Build pages with Web part server controls. Create user editable Web parts. Enable Web part connectivity. Module 7: Personalization: User Profiles and Themes In this module, students will learn how to build an effective personalization layer into a Web application by employing user profiles and themes. Lessons Lesson:(Optional) Understanding Personalization Lesson: Creating and Managing User Profiles Lesson: Using Themes Lab: Personalization: User Profiles and Themes After completing this module, students will be able to: Describe the ASP.NET 2.0 personalization features. Create and manage user profiles. Use and apply themes. Module 8: Implementing ASP.NET 2.0 Security In this module students will learn how forms-based authentication in ASP.NET 2.0, which is arguably the only viable approach to restricting access to real-world Web sites, is even easier and quicker to use. Lessons Lesson: Using Forms Authentication Lesson: Using Security-Related Controls Lesson: Managing Membership and Roles Lab: Implementing ASP.NET 2.0 Security After completing this module, students will be able to: Use cookieless authentication for forms. Implement ASP.NET 2.0 security controls. Use the membership class for authenticating users. Module 9: ASP.NET Configuration and Instrumentation In this module students will learn how to use the tools that ASP.NET 2.0 supplies to programmatically update the configuration files. Lessons Lesson: Configuration Schema Changes for ASP.NET 2.0 Lesson: Using the Configuration API Lesson: The Health Monitoring API Lab: ASP.NET Configuration and Instrumentation After completing this module, students will be able to: Describe schema changes to the configuration files. Use the ASP.NET Administrative Tool to change configuration settings. Use the health monitoring API.
