• Types, resolution and names
• Encryption and keys
• Deployment and the GAC
• Version and publisher policies

Asynchronous Execution
This course provides information on how Visual Basic 2005 works with threads and thread pooling, how to perform synchronous and asynchronous task execution using threads, how to marshal (pass) data across threads, and how to synchronize data across threa

• Thread benefits, classes and methods
• Thread data movement and pooling
• Thread execution and synchronization

Code Access Security
This course provides information on how Visual Basic 2005 code interacts with the .NET code access features, how to create and modify code access security policies, and the differences between evidence-based and role-based security.

• Custom forms
• Code permissions
• Enforcing security
• Writing mobile code

Delegates and Events
This course provides information on how Visual Basic 2005 works with events, the behind-the-scenes delegate-handling mechanism, how delegates are used to work with events, and how programmers can use delegates to integrate their own events with the Windo

• Delegates
• Events

Managed Type Fundamentals
This course provides information on how Visual Basic 2005 creates and manages data types, and how it maps those data types to an underlying common type system used by the .NET platform.

• Common type system
• Type navigation
• Accessors and indexers
• Instance members, static members and interfaces
• Base and derived classes

Objects, Values, and Memory
This course provides information on how Visual Basic 2005 works with objects and values, and how those underlying objects and values are mapped to memory.

• Reference and value data types
• Variables, parameters, and fields
• Cloning and boxing
• Namespaces and garbage collection

Reflection and Attributes
This course provides information on how Visual Basic 2005 works with attributes and reflection, how to create and work with custom attributes, and how to use binding flags to instantiate types from assemblies.

• Attributes
• Reflection

Windows Forms
This course provides information on how Visual Basic 2005 eases the creation of Windows forms and custom controls, and how Windows eases the creation of threads and messages.

• Custom forms
• Custom controls
• Threads and messages

Certification:
