Pro .NET 1.1 Network Programming [Paperback]

Networking is one of the core tasks of enterprise-level programming, and this book covers key concepts, like network programming in .NET with C#, and building network-based applications in .NET. You will gain confidence to use the classes shipped with .NET, and eventually implement your own application-level protocols.

The text first overviews important background material, like physical network architecture, network protocols, the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model, streams in .NET, and stream access. Also covered in detail: socket programming complete with introduction, and descriptions for use in .NET.

Finally, the book explores Internet programming, with a look at HTTPthe underlying protocol of e-mail and Internet. By the end of the book, you will also have learned to secure network communications in .NET.

1 Networking Concepts and Protocols.- 2 Streams in .NET.- 3 Network Programming in .NET.- 4 Socket Programming in .NET.- 5 Raw Socket Programming.- 6 IPv6.- 7 TCP.- 8 UDP.- 9 Multicast Sockets.- 10 HTTP.- 11 E-mail Protocols.- 12 Cryptography in .NET.- 13 Authentication Protocols.A bio is not available for this author.An easy-to-read, in-depth guide to network programming in the .NET Framework Shows how to integrate the web and e-mail support into .NET applications Covers transport protocols such as TCP and UDP and application protocols such as HTTP and FTP Includes examples of implementing application-level protocols Shows how to secure network communication in .NET

Networking is one of the core tasks of enterprise-level programming, and for the programmer familiar with the C# language this book should provide the information to put network programming at the heart of their .NET applications. Prior knowledge of network programming is not assumed, but the reader already familiar with networking from another environment will find the pace quick enough for the book to still prove valuable.
