Applied Microsoft .NET Framework Programming

The purpose of this book is to explain how to develop applications for the .NET Framework. Specifically, this means that I intend to explain how the CLR works and the facilities it offers. I'll also discuss various parts of the FCL. No book could fully explain the FCL-it contains literally thousands of types, and this number is growing at an alarming rate. So, here I'm concentrating on the core types that every developer needs to be aware of. And while this book isn't specifically about Windows Forms, XML Web services, Web Forms, and so on, the technologies presented in the book are applicable to all these application types.

Understanding SOAP

Understanding SOAP begins with a discussion of distributed object computing, reviewing the current technologies. It then discusses the realities that make distributed object computing so difficult. Given these realities, the book provides a case study of a current technology to show why it is so difficult to distribute objects and why a protocol, such as SOAP, is such an important topic. An in-depth example gives you a working scenario of what is involved with distributed object computing and SOAP. Finally, the book discusses the future of SOAP, to include language binding and system integration. This book provides you with an accelerated approach to understanding how XML applies to distributed systems, specifically using the SOAP protocol.
