- Store data in a file by using the Write member function of the CFile class.
- Identify the Seek function that will be used in a given situation.
- Match the registry key with the information that they contain.
- Set a registry key by using the SetRegistryKey member function.
- Retrieve a value from a registry key by using CWinApp member functions.
- Store information in a registry key by using CWinApp functions.
Unit 2: Remote Communication - Match the member functions of the CSocket class with their uses.
- Create a socket for a server and a client.
- Set up a socket to listen for a connection.
- Establish a connection to a socket.
- Read incoming data from a given connected socket.
- Write outgoing data to the connected socket.
- Write the statement to open a COM port for overlapped I/O.
- Write the statement to close a COM port.
- Write the statement to write data to a COM port for overlapped I/O.
- Write the statement to read data from a COM port for overlapped I/O.
Unit 3: Database Access: ODBC and DAO - Configure an Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) database to a system.
- Identify the sequence in which MFC ODBC functions are called to complete a given task.

- Identify the advantages of using DAO to connect to a database.
- Match the Data Access Objects (DAO) database classes supported by MFC with their functions.
- Create a DAO database application.
- Modify a DAO database application to manipulate the database.
- Modify the DAO application to filter the records that satisfy the criteria entered by the user.
- Match the data members of database exception classes with their functions.
- Sequence the steps that occur in the database exception-handling process.
Unit 4: Database Access: ADO and RDO - Identify the advantages of using ADO to access a database.
- Create an ADO database application by using data-bound dialog wizard.
- Modify a ADO database application to manipulate the database.
- Modify the ADO application to filter the records that satisfy the criteria entered by the user.
- Match the ADO error codes with the situations in which errors occur.
- Identify the benefits of using Remote Data Objects (RDO) to access a database.
- Create an RDO database application using Wizards.
- Modify the RDO application to filter the records that satisfy the criteria entered by the user.
