This book explains how to write .NET 2.0 applications and services. It
will provide you with a clean slate, and erase any need for developing
the COM, DCOM, COM+, or ActiveX components that used to be necessary.
Instead, you will learn how to write .NET applications using Visual C++
.NET syntax. By the end of the book, you will be proficient in
developing .NET applications for both the Windows desktop and the Web.
