Programming with Managed Extensions for Microsoft Visual C++ .NET

PT4070
Training Summary
The goal of this course is to teach existing C++ developers how to write applications for the Microsoft .NET Framework by using Managed Extensions for C++. The course teaches the language differences between standard C++ and Managed Extensions for C++, and focuses on issues such as efficiency and optimization. The course also discusses interoperability with unmanaged code, and shows how to use COM effectively in managed code.
Prerequisites
Before attending this course, students should have programming experience with C++, experience using object-oriented programming techniques and familiarity with the .NET Framework.
Duration
3 Days/Lecture & Lab
Audience
This course is intended for C++ application developers and Microsoft Win32(r) systems programmers that need to migrate or integrate their code with the .NET Framework.
