Developing Application Frameworks in .NET [Paperback]

* Provides ready-to-run code for some of the most common tasks that .NET applications need to perform, which readers can incorporate directly into their own applications

* Shows how to develop an extensible application framework that will greatly simplify development using the Microsoft .NET Framework

* Provides examples of advanced object-oriented techniques such as design patterns in the context of real applications

* The complete source code for SAF, which is ready for use and can be modified freely, is available for download

* Deepens knowledge of .NET by showing many different .NET technologies (e.g. Remoting) in action, in a real application  not just illustrative samples

Application frameworks, which provide a base of common services on which applications are built, offer the benefits of extensibility, modularity, and reusability of both code and design to your applications. This book explains what frameworks are and how they fit into applications, and offers many object-oriented techniques used in application frameworks.

This book also shows you actually how to develop application frameworks through a concrete framework example called Simplified Application Framework (SAF). The SAF framework was developed by author?Xin Chen in C#. It consists of common services needed by many applications, such as a class factory service, configuration service, event notification service, security service, and transaction service. This book goes into detail on each of these services to explain its benefits, as well as its design and implementation in C#. Through a discussion of each service, you will also learn about many advanced .NET techniques employed by the framework, such as .NET remoting, reflection, custom attributes, multithreading, and serviced components.

Many of the services discussed in thl!
