Course Outline
Provide an overview of each module and what students will learn.
Explain how this course will meet students’ expectations by relating the
information covered in individual modules to their expectations.
Providing reasonably complete coverage of the Microsoft .NET Framework
within a five day class is a challenging undertaking. The thirteen modules
that encompass Course 2349B, Programming with the Microsoft.NET
Framework (Microsoft Visual C# .NET), will provide most students with a
common baseline for working with the .NET Framework.

For more information about customizing this course see the Optional
Course Presentation Strategies section in this module.

Optional Course Presentation Strategies
Because of the complexity and amount of material that makes up the .NET
Framework, additional resources are included to provide instructors with some
flexibility in the course delivery.
Course Customization
The thirteen modules that make up the five day Course 2349B, Programming
with the Microsoft .NET Framework (Microsoft Visual C# .NET), will provide
most students with a common baseline for working with the .NET Framework.
In addition to the first thirteen modules that make up the five days of material,
the course contains four optional modules, thus providing you with the
opportunity for customization.
You are not required to cover the optional modules as part of Course 2349B,
Programming with the Microsoft .NET Framework (Microsoft Visual C# .NET).
The decision about whether to cover the optional modules has been left entirely
to you, the instructor, as you will need to consider the circumstances of each
class separately, including student levels and preferences, and any requirements
of an individual Microsoft Certified Technical Education Center (Microsoft
CTEC).
However, as part of the course materials, your students will receive all
seventeen modules. While Modules 14 through 17 are considered optional, you
should be prepared to discuss what you plan to cover during the course
introduction. If you only intend to cover the first thirteen modules that make up
the official five days of course delivery of Course 2349B, Programming with

the Microsoft .NET Framework (Microsoft Visual C# .NET), then state that
clearly and suggest that the optional modules may be used as additional self-
study. Alternatively, you may want to discuss covering one or more of the
optional modules if there is sufficient interest in those topics. You will then
need to consider with your students what module(s) you may safely leave out in
order to accommodate the optional module(s).
For example, an alternative approach for more advanced students who already
have a basic understanding of .NET Framework applications and the Microsoft
Visual C#
™
.NET object model would be to omit Modules 2 through 6 and
teach Modules 7 through 17.
vi Introduction


Course Flow
As a general guideline, modules may be grouped accordingly, as shown in the
following table.
Module Course Flow

Module 1: Overview of the Microsoft
.NET Framework
This short module is designed to provide a
high level overview of the .NET
Framework.
Module 2: Introduction to a Managed
Execution Environment
Module 3: Working with Components
Module 4: Deployment and Versioning
Modules 2 through 4 cover core .NET

Framework concepts, including managed
execution, assemblies, and deployment.
Module 5: Common Type System
Module 6: Working with Types
Modules 5 and 6 cover core .NET
Framework object oriented topics.
Module 7: Strings, Arrays, and
Collections
Module 8: Delegates and Events
Module 9: Memory and Resource
Management
Module 10: Data Streams and Files
Module 11: Internet Access
Module 12: Serialization
Module 13: Remoting and XML Web
Services
Modules 7 through 13 cover more
advanced material than the preceding
modules and may be considered as
standalone material. Modules 10 through
12 have some relevance to Module 13:
Remoting and XML Web Services.
Module 14: Threading and Asynchronous
Programming
Module 15: Interoperating Between
Managed and Unmanaged Code
Module 16: Using Microsoft ADO.NET to
Access Data
Module 17: Attributes
Modules 14 through 17 may be considered

as optional, standalone, and generally
more advanced than modules 1 through 6.

Course Timing
This section provides estimated course timings for all of the modules, labs, and
breaks in Course 2349B, Programming with the Microsoft .NET Framework
(Microsoft Visual C# .NET). The following schedule options are provided as a
guide to help with ideas about how to organize your class if you decide to
customize the course.
Option 1
The following schedule is an estimate of the course timing if you choose to
teach Modules 1 through 13. This is the basic approach for students needing
additional instruction regarding Visual C# .NET and the .NET Framework
approach to assemblies, packaging and the object model. If you do not intend to
customize Course 2349B, Programming with the Microsoft .NET Framework
(Microsoft Visual C# .NET), this is the approach you should use. Your timing
may vary.
