vbhtp4_outline.fm Page xxiii Monday, December 17, 2007 4:40 PM xxiii New Visual Basic 9.0 &.NET 3.5 Features Covered in this Edition Chapter 4, Introduction to Classes and Objects 1. Object initializers Shorthand notation for initializing an object, similar to an array initializer. Chapter 9, Introduction to LINQ 2. New chapter that introduces LINQ and demonstrates using LINQ to Objects to perform array manipulations. 3. Implicitly Typed Local Variables and Arrays Visual Basic can infer the type of a variable from the initializer expression that you assign to the variable. Chapter 10, Classes and Objects: A Deeper Look 4. Anonymous Types A convenient way to encapsulate a set of read-only properties into a single object without having to first explicitly define a type. 5. Partial Classes and Partial Methods Provides a more formal introduction to partial classes from C# 2.0 and introduces partial methods from C# 3.0. 6. Delegates (possibly a new chapter) Provides a more formal introduction to delegates. 7. Lambda Expressions This would follow delegates because this is a new mechanism to make delegate programming easier. 8. Extension Methods A new type of static method for adding functionality to an existing class without creating a new subclass. Chapter 15, Graphical User Interfaces with Windows Presentation Foundation and XAML 9. New chapter that shows how to build GUIs with WPF and XAML. Demonstrates intermixing WPF and Windows Forms. Chapter 16, Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) Graphics and Multimedia 10. New chapter that shows how to use graphics and multimedia with WPF and XAML. Chapter 18, Files and Streams 11. New section on using LINQ to Objects with files.

Introduces Visual Basic s new XML literals, XML namespace and XML Member capabilities. Chapter 20, Databases, LINQ to SQL and Link to DataSets 14. Now introduces LINQ to SQL and LINQ to DataSets and replaces all ADO.NET 2.0 database manipulating with LINQ. Chapter 21, ASP.NET and ASP.NET Ajax 15. Now includes coverage of ASP.NET Ajax and the Microsoft Ajax Library. Chapter 22, Web Services and Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) 16. Introduces WCF and shows how to build and consume WCF-based web services. Chapter 23, Microsoft Silverlight and Rich Internet Applications 17. Introduces Microsoft s Silverlight web browser plug-in and how to develop rich internet applications for it using C#,.NET and XAML.
