Eiffel ENViSioN! Samples and Tutorials

The Eiffel ENViSioN! samples and tutorials demonstrate various aspects of the Eiffel for .NET technology. They are divided into two categories:

The first set of samples focus on demonstrating the use of the Eiffel language and libraries. They rely solely on Eiffel libraries and as such could be compiled on other platforms using Eiffel Software's EiffelStudio development environment.

• The calculator sample is the most basic sample of all, start with this sample if you are a first time user of the Eiffel language.
• The WEL tutorial was designed to help you learn the basics of Windows Eiffel Library (WEL) programming.
• The xCell sample shows how to use WEL to develop graphical applications.
• The EiffelVision2 samples demonstrates the use of various EiffelVision2 widgets.

The second set of samples uses different aspects of the .NET Framework to demonstrate how to reuse .NET types from Eiffel.

• Several Windows Forms samples illustrate how to build application with Microsoft's library. These samples are listed in order of increasing complexity.
• The threads samples demonstrates the use of .NET threads.
• The ADO .NET sample illustrates the use of ADO .NET to access a database.
