Rapid C# Windows Development: Visual Studio 2005, SQL Server 2005, and LLBLGen Pro

You will gain an understanding of the benefits of using these technologies and you will see the complete process from start to finish, including scanning the database schema, generating code, adding business logic, and building the user interface. We will also cover validation, transactions, performance tuning, multi-threading, and deployment. While there are books, websites, and documentation that cover all of these technologies individually, we will aim in this book to demonstrate how they can be used together as a rapid and robust solution.
This book is a practical walk-through that will build a sample application—step-by-step—with directions, screenshots, and code samples. The book is intended to provide all the information necessary for a beginner to fully learn and grasp the tools. In order to gain maximum benefit, be sure to follow along with the sample application, performing the directions on your machine as explained in the text. However, if you are an intermediate user more familiar with the underlying concepts, you may elect to simply read the chapters and examine the code samples until you understand what is presented. Optionally, you can create your own project while reading through the book, using the concepts presented, and making substitutions where necessary to apply it to your database schema and make it fit your application requirements.
