Product Description:
Written and tested for the final release of .NET v1.0, this book explains the underlying philosophy and design of the .NET Framework and Common Language Runtime, and details the differences between Visual Basic 6 and Visual Basic .NET.
VB.NET is covered virtually from start to finish: beginning with an overview of the .NET Framework, and ending with best practices for deploying .NET applications. In between, everything from database access to integration with other technologies such as XML is covered. Each of these new features are investigated in detail. You will see that VB.NET has emerged as a powerful yet easy to use language that allows developers to target the Internet just as easily as the desktop.
You will learn how to:
- Develop applications and components using Visual Studio .NET
- Effectively apply inheritance and interfaces when designing objects and components
- Organize your code using namespaces
- Handle errors using the Try...Catch...Finally structure
- Access data using ADO.NET and bind controls to the underlying data sources
- Create Windows applications and custom Windows controls
- Interoperate with COM and ActiveX components
- Create transactional and queuing components
- Use .NET Remoting to exchange serialized objects between clients and servers
- Create Windows Services
- Use Visual Basic .NET to access information on the Web
- Create and consume Web Services
- Secure your applications and code using the tools provided in the .NET Framework SDK
- Arrange your applications and libraries in assemblies and deploy them using Visual Studio .NET

This book has disappointed me one too many times so I'm going to finally write the review I've been wanting to. I keep trying to use this book and it keeps leaving me short. Sometimes in the examples the author tells you to do something obscure but then he doesn't tell you how to do it. The coverage lacks depth and detail.
I am an experienced VB programmer but I got this book to help me convert to .Net. It has been a big disappointment. Some of the topics I needed help with were not covered. Most of the ones that were covered were sketchy.
Fortunately, I picked up a Special Edition of "Using Visual Basic .Net" from Que which typically saves my bacon.

I`m really happy that I've purchased this book.
Actualy I`m a self-learned VB 6 programmer; after having finished about how to program VB.NET, I wanted to learn more about the infrastructure of the .Net framework & also how to use professional tricks to increase the performance of my applincations.
I found this book helpful on the way to achieve the above goals.
You can consider it as a MUST HAVE BOOK for a professional VB developer.

This is not a book for beginners who are new to VB world. This book explains the differences (improvements) from VB6.0 to VB.NET. In addition, it has a few chapters that explain the Object Oriented concept in a well-organized fashion. This book is a good investment for anyone who is looking to move into the VB.NET world.

Good book if you want to find how to apply VB.NET in different areas. BUT if you want to know VB.NET itself, don't waste your time, it should be the last book in your list.

The .Net platform has undoubtedly revolutionized the world of software development, whether web based or traditional windows. Professional VB.Net like other WROX books (pardon my bias) does complete justice to the subject matter, explaining every nuance and subtlety with the typical lucidness that WROX books have been come to be known for. I used this book to pass the 70-305 certification exam. Great book for learning the language and the .Net platform.
