Autumn Course

Introduction to Windows and Web Applications in C#

Instructor: Robin Reynolds-Haertle

This class covers the basic language structures. At the end of the class, students will be able to create a simple Windows application, a static Web site, and display database records in a Windows or a Web application.

Some of the language elements and programming concepts that will be covered include types, variables, garbage collection, expressions, statements, classes, structs and enums. This course will examine the most basic language skills for console applications. For instance, with Microsoft Windows, students will learn about event-driven programming, Windows forms, common user controls (TextBox, ListBox, RadioButton, Checkbox, Label, etc.), and displaying SQL data with the DataGridView. For ADO.NET, students will learn how to use DataSet, DataTable, and retrieve data from an existing database. In addition, students will learn how to:

• Identify syntax errors, run-time errors, and logic errors
• Use if statements to control the flow of logic
• Use a switch structure for multiple decisions
• Use do, while and for loops to execute a series of statements
• Establish an array and refer to individual elements in the array with subscripts
• Use a loop to traverse the elements of an array
• Create a structure for multiple fields of related data
• Store and look up data in multi-dimensional arrays
• Look up C# topics in Help

There will be no project for this course.
