•	Use the generic collections that are defined in the System.Collections.Generic namespace.
•	Use the specialized collections that are defined in the System.Collections.Specialized namespace.

Module 3: Deploying and Configuring Assemblies

This module describes the key features of assembly configuration and installation. It also explains how to install assemblies and how to configure assemblies and the .NET Framework.

Lessons

•	Installing and Configuring Assemblies
•	Installing Assemblies by Using the Installer
•	Configuring Assemblies
•	Configuring the .NET Framework

Lab 3: Deploying and Configuring Assemblies

•	Managing the Configuration Settings of an Assembly
•	Deploying an Application by Using Windows Installer

After completing this module, students will be able to:

•	Describe the purpose of deployment and configuration.
•	Create a custom Microsoft Windows Installer for the .NET Framework components by using the System.Configuration.Install namespace.
•	Embed configuration management functionality in a .NET Framework application.
•	Configure the .NET Framework and applications by using configuration files, environment variables, and the .NET Framework Configuration tool.

Module 4: Monitoring and Debugging Applications

This module describes how to use the available classes of the System.Diagnostics namespace to monitor and debug a .NET Framework application.

Lessons

•	Working with Application Processes
•	Managing Application Performance
•	Reading and Writing to an Event Log
•	Debugging and Tracing Applications

Lab: Monitoring and Debugging Applications

•	Monitoring Application Performance
•	Logging Information in a Custom Event Log
•	Adding and Configuring Tracing Statements in an Application

After completing this module, students will be able to:

•	Manage system processes by using the Process class of the System.Diagnostics namespace.
•	Monitor the performance of a .NET Framework application by using the diagnostics functionality of the .NET Framework 2.0.
•	Manage the Windows Event Log by using the System.Diagnostics namespace.
•	Debug and trace a .NET Framework application by using the System.Diagnostics namespace.

Module 5: Reading and Writing Files

This module describes how to use the classes in the .NET Framework 2.0 Class Library to manipulate files and folders and how to read and write data to and from files and memory.

Lessons

•	Managing the File System
•	Reading and Writing Data by Using Streams
•	Compressing and Protecting Data by Using Streams
•	Improving Application Security by Using Isolated Storage

Lab: Reading and Writing to File and Folders
