This course provides the student with knowledge and skills in programming at an advanced level to develop applications using advanced features of the C# language and the .NET-technologies. The student will learn to use a component based, data-driven and multilayered application architecture.

The course convers the following main topics:

• Advanced Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) topics,

• Assemblies, versioning, application domain

• Anonymous types, methods and Lambda Expressions

• Language Integrated Query (LINQ)

• ADO.NET Entity Framework (EF)

• Unit testing

• Multithreading and Asynchronous programming

• Two-dimensional graphics and multimedia

On completion of the course, the student should be able to demonstrate knowledge of:

• advanced features of .NET programming using C# to develop applications with good performance, testability and usability.

• LINQ, Entity Framework using various data sources,

• using layers to separate presentation of data from logics utilizing class libraries,

• threads and asynchronous programming in C#.

On completion of the course, students should be able to demonstrate skills to create and develop:

• applications with rich graphical user interface using advanced features of WPF,

• components using class libraries.

• a data layer using Entity Framework and LINQ

• applications with good responsiveness using multi-threading and asynchronous calls

• graphics-rich applications using two-dimensional drawing techniques.

Upon successful completion of this course, students should be able to:

• analyse, evaluate and compare different solutions with respect to design, quality and testability of .NET applications.

• compare different models of Entity Framework in data-driven solutions.

The course consists of lectures, programming exercises, quizzes and assignments.

Requirements for Pass (A-E): Passed grade in Assignment Part 1 (4 credits), Part 2 (2 credits), and passed quizzes (1.5 credits).

The final course grade will be based on a weighted result of all individual assignments.
