Network Programming for the Microsoft .NET Framework

About the Technology: The .NET Framework is the infrastructure for the overall .NET Platform. The common language runtime and class libraries (including Windows Forms, Microsoft ADO.NET, and Microsoft ASP.NET) combine together to provide services and solutions that can be easily integrated within and across a variety of systems. The .NET Framework provides a fully managed, protected, and feature-rich application execution environment, simplified development and deployment, and seamless integration with a wide variety of languages. The networking technology that exists in the System.Net namespace of the .NET Framework represents the core building blocks for Microsoft's current and future investments in the XML Web Services arena.

Pro .NET 1.1 Network Programming

Networking is one of the core tasks of enterprise-level programming, and this book covers key concepts, like network programming in .NET with C#, and building network-based applications in .NET. You will gain confidence to use the classes shipped with .NET, and eventually implement your own application-level protocols. The text first overviews important background material, like physical network architecture, network protocols, the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model, streams in .NET, and stream access. Also covered in detail: socket programming complete with introduction, and descriptions for use in .NET. Finally, the book explores Internet programming, with a look at HTTP—the underlying protocol of e-mail and Internet. By the end of the book, you will also have learned to secure network communications in .NET.
