  • Objectives
    DDLS has enhanced the standard MOC course to enable students using Visual Studio 2003, 2005, 2008 and .Net framework 2.0 and 3.5 to benefit from this course. IMPORTANT - The content of these courses is still applicable and current for developers using Visual Studio 2008 and .Net 3.5 even though the courses were written based on earlier releases. This five-day instructor-led course enables developers who are migrating from a different development language, an earlier version of Visual Basic .NET or Visual C#, or who have completed entry-level training and experience using Microsoft Visual Studio 2005, to gain in-depth guidance on programming the Microsoft .NET Framework versions 2.0 and 3.0 with Visual Studio 2005.
  • Entry requirements
