Clarion's elegant syntax and readable code make for prolific and happy programmers. But it can be difficult to understand all that is required to take advantage of the thousands of objects and methods that are now available within the .Net Framework. That's where the "Clarion# by Example" Course comes in. Clarion# by Example shows you how to take advantage of new extensions to Clarion.Net, and how to unleash the .Net Framework, as you explore essential concepts in action.There may be no better way to learn how to than by dissecting real, representative examples written in your language of choice, and this course is comprised of a combination of movies and small, tightly focused, highly-commented example apps. The movie content is presented by our developers, educators and support staff, and each movie will explain in detail the corresponding example application. Each example application will teach you essential knowledge for understanding and succeeding with Clarion.Net and the .Net Framework. The examples demonstrate key features of the Clarion.Net language (such as Events, Properties, Data Binding, Validation, Printing, Exceptions, Web Services, Web Apps), while simultaneously solving difficult problems (such as .Net Data binding, validating XML, calling XML Web services, creating a bilingual program, and creating command-line interfaces). Each lesson builds upon the previous, and each key concept is highlighted in the accompanying documentation to make it easier for you to navigate the course. You'll learn how to: Use .Net Data Binding working with the Clarion LIST control, the Entry Control, the DataGridView, and other .Net Framework controls like the TextBox and RichTextBox. Work with BLOBs and MEMOs Extend Clarion.Net using free custom controls Create Console apps, Desktop apps, Web Services, Web Apps and Mobile Device apps Work with Framework objects to save time and effort Optimize, profile, and test your code to make sure that it not only does its job, but does it well Course Outline: Module Topic Outline I. .Net Project Essentials Your First Clarion.Net App - Hello World! at the Console Your Second Clarion.Net App - Hello World! as a WinForm Clarion.NET File Extensions (*.cln, *.Designer, *.resx, *.cnproj, *.sln) Clarion.Net Project Options The Global Assembly Cache New Language Features in Clarion.Net .NET (NAMESPACE, USING, Partial, NetClass, et al) Your Third Clarion.Net App - Generating an Application using the .NET App Wizard Adding Project References II.
