For seasoned .NET developers, as well as those seeking a simple and clear migration path from Visual Basic 6.0 to Visual Basic 2005, this cookbook delivers the definitive collection of problem-solving recipes for a broad range of Visual Basic programming tasks.

This practical, example-driven task reference contains over 350 C# code recipes, covering many common and not so common aspects of .NET programming. If you're a developer who already understands the fundamentals of C# and .NET programming, then this cookbook will provide you with helpful code examples and reference material to take your programming skills to the next level. Microsoft Visual C# .NET 2003 Developer's Cookbook is divided into sections corresponding to technologies within Visual C# .NET. Each part contains recipes to help you understand a single task without having to read pages of introductory material. Recipes are carefully constructed first to show you how to accomplish a task using a certain technique and then to follow with comments that provide a closer inspection of the solution. Along with the array of task-specific recipes in the book, you'll find a large collection of source code on the Sams Web site. Learn how to program graphics with GDI+, Windows Forms Controls, XML in .NET, ASP.NET applications, and Web Services. Then, move into more advanced techniques such as security, threading and synchronization, COM interop, and Smart Device extensions. Book jacket.

This book is an invaluable companion when tackling a wide range of Visual Basic 2005 problems. It meets your need for fast, effective solutions to the difficulties you encounter in your coding projects. The book collates these problems and explains their available solutions. These one-stop solutions have been chosen with professional developers in mind and feature a careful balance of code and text: the code gives you everything you need to solve the problem at hand, while the accompanying text carefully explains how it solves your problem and, more importantly, why it works the way it does.

After reading Programming the Web with Visual Basic .NET, developers will understand how to build and deploy top quality, professionally designed, highly usable Web applications using Visual Basic .NET.

Most Visual Basic .NET books are written for experienced object-oriented programmers, but many programmers jumping on the .NET bandwagon are coming from non-object-oriented languages, such as Visual Basic 6.0 or from script programming, such as JavaScript. These programmers, and those who are adopting VB.NET as their first programming language, have been out of luck when it comes to finding a high-quality introduction to the language that helps them get started.That's why Jesse Liberty, author of the best-selling books Programming C# and Programming ASP.NET, has written an entry-level guide to Visual Basic .NET. Written in a warm and friendly manner, this book assumes no prior programming experience, and provides an easy introduction to Microsoft's most popular .NET language.Learning Visual Basic .NET is a complete introduction to VB.NET and object-oriented programming. This book will help you build a solid foundation in .NET, and show how to apply your skills by using hundreds of examples to help you become productive quickly. Learning Visual Basic .NET introduces fundamentals like Visual Studio .NET, a tool set for building Windows and Web applications. You'll learn about the syntax and structure of the Visual Basic .NET language, including operators, classes and interfaces, structs, arrays, and strings. Liberty then demonstrates how to develop various kinds of applications--including those that work with databases--and web services.By the time you've finished Learning Visual Basic .NET, you'll be ready to move on to a more advanced programming guide that will help you create large-scale web and Windows applications.Whether you have a little object-oriented programming experience or you are new to programming altogether, Visual Basic .NET will set you firmly on your way to mastering the essentials of the VB.NET language.

Ever since Visual Basic was merged into .NET, it's become the core language for creating business applications with Windows. The latest version, VB 2008, is even more useful -- and provides even more incentive for migrating from VB 6. All it lacks is a good book on how to harness its power. Programming Visual Basic 2008 fills the void. Written in a lively and engaging style by a developer who's grown up with Visual Basic, including both VB 6 and VB .NET, this hands-on guide addresses the core topics of the new VB, from basic to complex, with plenty of code examples. Programming Visual Basic 2008 also examines .NET programming from the application level with a chapter-by-chapter plan for developing, documenting, and deploying a full data-driven application. You learn, step-by-step, how to build and deploy a library management system, complete with patron, inventory, and barcode support. The book's broad range of topics include: VB language and its syntax An overview of the .NET Framework Object-oriented development in VB and .NET Generic objects, collections, and nullable types Design and management of software projects Integrating desktop features with Windows Forms Database design with SQL Server 2008 Database interface design with ADO.NET The new LINQ feature, and how to use it within VB and .NET Embedding XML within application source code Encryption and authentication in .NET Interacting with data stored in files and directories Web development using ASP.NET Deploying an application to a user's workstation And much more Programming Visual Basic 2008 is ideal for VB 6 programmers who are ready to move to .NET, as well as VB.NET programmers who wish to improve their project-focused software development skills. Programming novices and developers coming from other languages will find the book valuable because of its language instruction and project design knowledge. Once you finish the book, you will have a firm grasp of VB 2008's core concepts and language elements, and understand how to build VB projects as they were intended -- as complete, cohesive solutions.

Many developers wish there was a language that was easy to write, read, and maintain like Visual Basic, but that still provided the power and flexibility of C++. For those developers, the new C# language is here. Microsoft has built C# with lots of features that make developing solutions faster and easier. C# makes code more stable and productive overall. C# also: - Embraces emerging Web programming standards- Eliminates costly programming errors- Reduces ongoing development costs with built-in support for versioning- Maps well between business processes in implementation- Offers extensive interoperabilityC# is a modern, object-oriented language that enables programmers to quickly and easily build solutions for the Microsoft .NET platform. The framework provided allows C# components to become Web services that are available across the Internet, from any application running on any platform.

Written for developers who are up-to-speed with ASP.NET in general, this text provides a task reference for use while developing web applications. It demonstrates tricks, solutions and best practices to use within applications.
