Product Description
VB.NET is Microsoft's more powerful and elegant replacement for VB, designed to work with its .NET platform. As Professional VB.NET points out in the introduction, it has basically the same functionality as C# and C++ for .NET, including full OO. It's interesting that it also points out the many problems with VB--problems that used to be glossed over--while enthusing about VB.NET. The improvements though are real, as you'll quickly appreciate.
Professional VB.NET covers the new IDE, CLR, changes to types--including the new Object class--and Namespaces among others. You'll learn the new error-handling methods including Try/Catch/Finally and the creation and deployment of classes and controls, inheritance from controls, composite controls and so on. The OO warnings, with examples, of the dangers involved in inheritance are particularly welcome. Backward compatibility with COM is covered as is running VB.NET code disguised as a COM object. XML, the underlying data storage format--is covered along with Web forms, though Web programming is left to companion volume, Professional ASP.NET.
Professional VB.NET is thorough, with plenty of worked examples, but assumes you're already familiar with VB. Unlike many previous VB.NET titles it's based on release code rather than the beta. With Professional VB.NET working VB programmers can move to VB.NET on the fly. --Steve Patient
