Overview

The goal of this course is to enable developers to effectively build scalable, distributed applications that use Microsoft .NET Enterprise Services and the .NET Framework.

Leads to examinations

• 70–310 - Developing XML Web Services and Server Components with Microsoft Visual Basic .NET and the Microsoft .NET Framework

• 70–320 - Developing XML Web Services and Server Components with Microsoft Visual C# and the Microsoft .NET Framework

Prerequisites

Delegates should have experience with assemblies by using Microsoft Visual Basic .NET or Microsoft Visual C#, plus experience handling database transactions in program code. Delegates should also have attended course 2349 – Programming with the Microsoft .NET Framework or have equivalent knowledge.

Delegates will learn how to

• Create transactional message queues and queued components
• Create Enterprise Services scripts for managing deployment and administration
• Describe some interoperability scenarios for enterprise applications and how to design and program for these scenarios
• State the need for using Enterprise Services and list the elements of an enterprise-wide application and the classes of the Enterprise Services namespace
• Describe the Enterprise Services architecture and programming model and create Just-in-Time (JIT) activated and synchronized components
• Create data access components that use ADO.NET to retrieve or update data in a database
• Create transactional components
• Secure an enterprise application by using Enterprise Services role-based security and .NET role-based security
• Create Compensating Resource Managers (CRMs) to enable transactional support for resources lacking a resource manager
• Debug Enterprise Services applications and describe common application failure scenarios and how to solve these failures
