Microsoft Press, 2006

A very useful book for what it covers

+ Advanced book on VS 2005 Addins

The previous reviewer hates this book for the very reason I love this book. This book covers everything about customizing Visual Studio, and does so in a crisp, understandable way. Visual Studio may not be as customizable as Eclipse, but it's close, and this book shows you how to do it. I agree ...

Patrice Pelland

Microsoft Press, 2005

Good Cookbook

+ Can be downloaded for free

This book actually helped me quite a bit. It is strictly a cookbook with step by step instructions for building several programs. I found the detailed instructions for binding controls on a form to an underlying database very helpful. Once that program is working, it is easy to modify it to get ...

Introducing Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 for Developers (Pro - Developer)6 reviews
Sean Campbell, Scott Swigart, ...

Microsoft Press, 2004

Readable

I've read the first couple of chapters of this book, and so far I find it a very readable introduction to VB.NET 2005. This book works best if you have prior VB experience either with VB 6.0 or VB.NET. I have experience with VB 3.0 through VB 6.0 and made the switch to VB.NET 2002 in Beta 2. ...

I believe very strongly that Hungarian notation should be part of a program. It sounds like these reviewers that don't like Hungarian notation program in a vacuum. It is ...

John Connell

Microsoft Press, 2003

Learn nooks and crannys of the .Net Framework

+ The outstanding, and the ugly
+ Good Book, lacking in the ASP.NET Department

If you think you know the framework, I suggest you take a look at Mr. Connell's book. He covers many undercovered areas in great detail. Isolated storage and encryption come to mind. In short, if you are looking for new material, I highly recommend this book. Its on a par with Mr. Connell's .Net ...
