IDE & CLR

• Integrated Development Environment– Single Solution Explorer, Toolbox, and Debugger – IntelliSense® statement completion and

squigglies– Create multi-language solutions

• Common Language Runtime– Microsoft: Visual Basic®, C#, C++, J#, JScript®

– 3rd Party: APL, Cobol, Component Pascal, Eiffel, Fortran, Haskell, Mercury, Oberon, Oz, Perl, Python, RPG, Scheme, Smalltalk, Standard ML

Increased Productivity

• Simplifies mixed-language development

• RAD across the board– Desktop –Web– Server –Mobile

• End-to-end debugging support across – Languages – Projects– Processes–Machines

Language Enhancements

• Visual Basic .NET– Fully object oriented, supports free threading– Structured exception handling

• Visual C# .NET– Increased productivity for C++ developer – Component-oriented, type-safe

• Visual C++ .NET– Attribute based programming– Managed Extensions for C++

• Visual J# .NET– Java language for .NET Platform

Visual Basic .NETVisual Basic .NET

Visual Basic .NET Overview

• Modern, Powerful, True OOP– Inheritance, overloading, shadowing, delegates,

attributes, hierarchical name spaces• Robust – Strict type checking, initialize variables at

declaration, variable declaration types fixed • Consistent – Single assignment operator, parenthesis use

simplified• Simplified – Legacy constructs removed

Classes & Inheritance

• Inheritance supported– Derive from a single base class– Implicitly inherits from System.Object

• Declarable classes• Overriding

– New implementation for base class method– Overrides keyword– MyBase refers base class– Me refers current class

• Overloading– Multiple versions of a class member– Based on parameter types

Visual C# .NET Visual C# .NET

Visual C# .NET Overview

• Strong C++ heritage– Immediately familiar to C++ and Java developers– Allows C-style memory management and pointers

• First component-oriented language in C family– Properties, methods, indexers, delegates, events– Design-time and runtime attributes

• Enables one-stop programming– No header files, IDL– Embeddable in ASP .NET

Component-Oriented

• What defines a component?– Properties, methods, events– Design-time and runtime information– Integrated help and documentation

• First class support in C#– Not naming patterns, adapters, etc.– Not external files

• Easy to build and consume

Comparison to Visual Basic

• Syntactic Differences– Visual Basic is NOT case sensitive

• In C# but not in Visual Basic– Pointers, shift operators, inline documentation– Overloaded operators, unsigned integers

• In Visual Basic but not in C#

– Select Case, Interface implementation– Dynamic arrays, modules, optional parameters

Visual C++ .NETVisual C++ .NET

Visual C++ .NET Compiler & Language

• Optimizations– Whole Program Optimization– Optimized inline assembly integration– Loop unrolling heuristics

• Runtime checks– Buffer Overrun– Stack Corruption– Shortened Converts

• Attributes – domain specific programming– Radically simplifies COM+ and IDL– Integrated with .NET Framework attributes

model

Managed Extensions

• Full access to the .NET Framework from C++• It’s still C++– All enhancements are compatible extensions– Nothing from C++ has been changed or removed

• Enables incremental migration to .NET– Existing code can be recompiled as IL– Mix managed code within existing applications

• Power to drop “to the metal” when needed

Native Libraries

• MFC/ATL– Improved MFC/ATL integration– Integrated Web Service client– Windows® XP, GDI+, Crypto, NT Security,

Perfmon, Accessibility• ATL Server– ATL framework for Web Services and Web

applications– Stencil-based UI generation with integrated

XML/HTML designer• Enhanced STL– Better conformance and error messages– Significantly improved documentation

Visual J# .NET Visual J# .NET

Visual J# .NET Java-language for .NET

• Native support for XML Web services • Fully integrated with Visual Studio .NET

development environment• Full access to the .NET Framework– ASP .NET, ADO .NET, Windows Forms– Integration with >20 other languages

• Protection of existing investments– Use java language syntax on .NET– Move applications and skills forward

.NET Extensions

• To be CLS compliant• Syntax extensions required for CLS

– ubyte– @attribute – For attaching .NET attributes

• Support for consuming .NET constructs:– Properties, Events, Delegates, Value types, Enums

Summary• .NET Language Support

– Multi-language platform, 22 supported

• Visual Basic .NET – More power, more productivity

• Visual C++ .NET– Power and flexibility for managed, native code

• Visual C# .NET– Productivity for the C developer

• Visual J# .NET– Java language support for .NET Platform
