Windows Vista Developer Features Beyond .NET
20 September 2006 09:45 – 20 September 2006 12:30 GMT, London
Welcome Time: 09:00
Language: English
Microsoft Edinburgh

Spey
127 George Street
Edinburgh EH2 4JN
United Kingdom

General Event Information
Products: Windows Vista.
Recommended Audience: Developer.

Windows Vista brings with it a fantastic platform for managed development, namely .NET Framework v3.0 (formerly WinFX). However, there are many new native APIs in Windows Vista that aren’t a part of .NET Framework 3.0. In this session you will discover how you – a C# or Visual Basic developer – can take advantage of this new functionality. Alongside plenty of demos, you will learn how to make your application feel like a real extension to the Windows Vista platform, and not like a ported application that just runs on it.

Technologies covered will include using the “glass” interface in your applications, new dialog box features, the RSS API, sidebar gadgets, the restart/recovery API and an overview of User Account Control (UAC) feature including how to ensure your applications work with UAC, TxF, plus many more.
