Getting up to speed with Visual Basic .NET might seem challenging to programmers who already work in Visual Basic 6.0. This handy book is stuffed full of standalone, working code samples that show these programmers exactly how to perform important tasks w
Customer Reviews & Comments
These are 101 code examples, provided by Microsoft, offering various "how-to"'s in the form of code samples. Some of the topics are: * creating menus * validating listboxes * how to use reflection * receiving and processing data using a SQLDataReader * comparing data binding in winforms and webforms * creating a Windows Service * how to use role-based security * the try / catch / finally block for exception handling * understanding the garbage collector as well as dozens others (101 in all, right?) including several examples of using GDI+ in Winforms. Code, documentation and, where needed, support files (e.g., .txt or .xml files) are provided. This is good stuff but the fact is, you can down the entire set of code and documentation for free at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vbasic/downloads/default.aspx In fact, Microsoft has updated these 101 Code examples (originally designed for VS.NET 2002 and originally released in early 2003) for release 1.1 of the .NET Framework and VS.NET 2003. Both the original and updated 101 Samples are available for download along with 101 Samples for C#. I recommend these code examples, but I suggest you just download them rather than buy the physical book. The code, itself, get 4 stars for usuability. If the book was free (or the material was not already free), then the book would get 4 stars, too. I won't take stars away just because you can get the material for free. Why not 5 stars? Some of the explanations could be clearer. Some of the code examples are more like snippets than fully usuable components, programs or apps, so you will need to study the code, but customize it for your own use.
