Training Course Summary:

The goal of this course is to enable developers to build Microsoft .NET compatible applications by using assemblies, which are the basic unit of versioning, isolation, security, and deployment in the .NET Framework environment.

This course provides developers with a solid understanding of how to develop and deploy private and shared assemblies. It focuses on configuration, versioning, and security issues. Topics include:

Types of assemblies
Side-by-side versioning in the global assembly cache
MSI deployment using Microsoft Visual Studio® .NET deployment projects
Strong-name signing
Code Access Security
.NET role-based security
Isolated storage
The course also includes an introduction to interoperation between .NET components and Microsoft WIN32® code and COM code.

Describe the purpose of metadata and the manifest, and their relationship to the .NET Framework.
Create single-file and multi-file assemblies.
Use code signing to create strong-named assemblies.
Create Visual Studio .NET deployment projects to deploy assemblies using the Microsoft Windows® Installer.
Describe how type safety, verification, and strong-name signing improve application security.
Explain how the .NET security system uses policy to map information about an assembly to a set of resource access rights for an assembly.
Use code access security to develop and use secure assemblies.
Implement role-based security in an assembly by using principals and identities, and create and use isolated storage.
Call Win32 code and COM objects from assemblies.
