Next time you hit the wall with a tough Visual Basic .NET problem, get the code behind the solution—and solve it the right way. This Programmer’s Cookbook provides at-a-glance reference to hundreds of Visual Basic .NET programming scenarios using a concise problem/solution format. The book’s organized so you can quickly zero in on the topics and answers you need—with practical examples, code snippets, best practices, and shortcuts to get the job done.
The MS Visual Basic .NET language now spans more programming tools, concepts, and application programming interfaces (APIs) than ever before. With the MS .NET Framework, your Visual Basic code can go to work in a MS Windows service, a Web application, an XML Web service, a Windows client, or a remote component. It can use robust multithreading, manipulate relational data and XML, harness COM+ services, and more. With all this functionality comes a price— even the most experienced developer can have trouble isolating a useful feature buried somewhere in the enormous .NET class library!
