Programming Visual Basic .NET

Published just in time for the first release of Visual Studio .NET, Programming Visual Basic .NET is the complete guide to application development using Visual Basic .NET. Targeted at programmers with some priorprogramming experience, the book covers the major areas of application development for Microsoft's new .NET platform. After starting with the traditional "hello world" application, the book discusses the two basic building blocks of any .NET application built with Visual Basic--the Visual Basic .NET programming language and the .NETFramework. The remainder of the book focuses on the three major kinds of applications that can be developed with the .NET Framework: Windows Forms applications, ASP.NET applications, and web services. In each case, the book shows you how to build an application using Visual Studio .NET as well as using a text editor and the Visual Basic command-line compiler.
