Pro .NET 2.0 Graphics Programming

Whether you are using Windows Forms to build rich-client business applications, or the ASP.NET 2.0 framework to build powerful web applications or web services, the use of well-designed graphics will greatly enhance their usability, impact, and visual appeal. This book provides a comprehensive guide to the use of graphics in .NET applications and aims to provide you with all the information you need to build effective custom controls.

The opening section of the book investigates the .NET Framework classes that implement graphics. It covers all of the classes, methods, and techniques needed to create, manipulate, and display precise graphics in a form, a page being sent to a printer, or an image.

On this foundation, the second section describes how to design and build effective custom controls for use in a business environment. Topics covered include building composite controls, implementing keyboard navigation, and enhancing design-time support.

The final section of the book explores the use of GDI+ and ASP.NET to build custom controls that can provide reusable, GUI components for web projects, and to deliver customized graphics over the Internet.

Obfuscating .NET: Protecting Your Code from Prying Eyes

Updated for Visual Studio 2005 Did you know you actually ship your source code every time you distribute a .NET assembly?

One of the consequences of the architecture of .NET is that a great deal of information about an assembly is kept with the assembly in a part of the file called the Manifest. This information makes it remarkably easy to not just reverse engineer the assembly, but to decompile it, make modifications, then recompile it. While such reverse engineering has always been possible, it is extraordinarily easy with .NET - a situation that is a significant problem to anyone distributing .NET applications or components who is concerned about protecting their intellectual property.

In this PDF E-Book, you’ll learn about a technique called Obfuscation, that can help you avoid this problem. And you’ll receive an in depth look at one particular approach to obfuscating your .NET assemblies, along with a link to a free download of Desaware’s open source QND-Obfuscator.
