Designed for an introductory programming course, this market-leading title has been enhanced to include two new tutorials on the next generation of Visual Basic - Visual Basic.NET. Programming with Visual Basic 6.0 Enhanced distinguishes itself from other Windows books because of its unique two-pronged approach. First, this book teaches programming concepts using a task-driven, rather than a command-driven, approach. By working through the tutorials, which are each motivated by a realistic case, individuals learn how to use programming applications that they are likely to encounter in the workplace. Second, the content, organization, and pedagogy of this book exploits the Windows environment. This edition includes creating reports using the print statement, as well as two full chapters on database access using ADO data control, SQL, and the DBGrid control.

Expert guidance, programming tips, and plenty of real code examples. Visual Basic programmers, here's your chance to quickly master the knowledge and skills you need to give your Windows and NT applications sophisticated Internet utilities, components, and applets. With the help of a series of progressively complex programming examples-complete with sample code-Carl Franklin covers all the bases, from TCP/IP basics to advanced techniques for taking full advantage of version 6.0's hot new Internet programming features. Step-by-step, he schools you in: * VB Internet tools, techniques, and software components. * Programming popular Internetprotocols with WinSock Tools. * Writing server-based objects using apartment threading, the new VB object model. * Creating IIS Applications in VB 6.0. * Using VB 6.0's powerful new compiler to quickly create super-fast programs. The CD-ROM supplies you with: * Plug-in Visual Basic networking components. * Customizable Internet client programs. * Server-side CGI tools for easy database access. * Tons of useful sample code.

Purpose of specific study is computational simulation using software which has been developed in visual basic programming environment and calculates the average monthly intensity of solar radiation that receives a tilted surface photovoltaic or solar collector with certain tilt angle and optimal tilt angle accordance with which there are the maximum solar gains. In the first step the mathematical models that govern solar geometry and solar radiation will be described. In the second step the mathematical models are converted to programming language and the required graphical user interface is created in visual basic.
