C# Console and Windows Forms Development with Entity Framework

C#, the most versatile programming language in the .NET framework, allows developers to build Windows, web, and mobile applications. It has strong community support, and more than five million developers prefer C#. This course will teach you how to build a Windows Forms application using C#.

The course starts by highlighting the learning objectives and explaining the installation process of Visual Studio 2022. Next, you will learn the basic and advanced concepts of C# console programming needed for application development. You will also understand how to use WinForms, ADO.Net, and Language Integrated Query (LINQ) to create WinForms applications. Moving along, you will learn to build data-driven GUI applications using Windows Forms and manage databases with SQL server management studio.

Next, you will understand the concept of user management and learn how to use utility classes to keep the code clean. Later, you will learn to develop multi-document interface (MDI) applications and learn the techniques to add a Visual Studio project to source control.

By the end of this course, you will have moved around in Visual Studio and examined logic and syntax errors so much that it will be second nature for you when working in the .NET environment. This will put your newly learned skills to practical use and impress your boss and co-workers.
