Appendices E through H are PDF documents posted online at the book’s Companion.

Here’s a list of updates we’ve made to the second edition of Visual C++ How to Program: • New Native-Code Approach. Microsoft has determined that most Visual C++ developers do the majority of their programming in native C++. As a result, this edition of the book represents a major overhaul in approach from the first edition.

We now introduce new programming concepts first with native C++ followed by accompanying managed code sections with C++/CLI where appropriate. We worked closely with various members of the Visual C++ team during all phases of writing and determined that this was the best course for the new edition of this book. • Major Content Revisions and Updates for the.NET Framework. All the chapters have been significantly updated and upgraded. All new sections and chapters introducing managed code concepts with C++/CLI have been added. We tuned the writing for clarity and precision.

We also adjusted our use of Visual C++ terminology in accordance with the ISO/IEC C++ standard document that defines the language. • Introduction to Visual C++ Express 2008 IDE and Debugger.

Chapter 2 provides a detailed tutorial on using the Visual C++ Express 2008 Integrated Development Environment to create and run new native C++ and.NET projects. Appendix I, Using the Visual Studio Debugger explains the basics of debugging programs using Visual C++ Express 2008. • The Managed Heap and CLR Garbage Collector. Chapters 9 and 11 include all new sections on the managed heap, the CLR garbage collector, and memory management in.NET. We introduce handles and tracking references for using managed objects with C++/CLI. • New Content on the.NET Framework Class Library (FCL).

New sections introducing managed code concepts with C++/CLI use numerous classes from the. Trap Drum Kit Fl Studio Free Download there. NET Framework Class Library. Chapter 18 teaches file processing in. Soul Nomad Pcsx2 Download Games. NET using the File and Directory classes. Chapter 19 provides an in-depth look at classes String, StringBuilder and Char. Chapter 24 focuses exclusively on collections in the.NET Framework using FCL classes. • Exception Handling in.NET. After introducing exception handling in native C++.

Chapter 16 introduces the.NET Exception class hierarchy. We demonstrate the use of finally and stack semantics for writing safer code with C++/CLI.

• Templates and Generics. Templates have always been a powerful feature of native C++. New sections in Chapter 15 introduce managed templates in C++/CLI as well as.NET Generics. We compare and contrast the strengths and weaknesses of both types of generic programming. • Early Classes and Objects Approach. Students are introduced to the basic concepts and terminology of object technology in Chapter 1 and begin developing customized, reusable classes and objects in Chapter 4 using native C++ and managed code with C++/CLI.

This book presents object-oriented programming, where appropriate, from the start and throughout the text. The early discussion of objects and classes gets students “thinking about objects” immediately and mastering these concepts more completely. Object-oriented programming is not trivial by any means, but it’s fun to write object-oriented programs, and students can see immediate results. • Integrated Case Studies.

We provide several case studies spanning multiple sections and chapters that often build on a class introduced earlier in the book to demonstrate new programming concepts later in the book. These case studies include the development of the GradeBook class in Chapters 4–8, the Time class in several sections of Chapters 10–11, the Employee class in Chapters 13–14, and the optional OOD/UML ATM case study in Chapters 1–8, 10, 14 and Appendix G. • Integrated GradeBook Case Study. The GradeBook case study reinforces our early classes presentation.
