We wanted to provide real-world WinForms coverage for both the programmer who has already programmed in .NET and for the programmer who hasn't. Toward that end, we briefly introduce core .NET topics as they come up. However, the .NET Framework itself is a large area that this book doesn't pretend to cover completely. Instead, when we think more information would be useful, we reference another work that provides the full details. In particular, we find that we've referenced <span class="docEmphasis">Essential .NET</span>, by Don Box, with Chris Sells, a great deal, making it a good companion to this book. In this same category, we also recommend <span class="docEmphasis">Pragmatic ADO.NET</span>, by Shawn Wildermuth, <span class="docEmphasis">Advanced .NET Remoting</span>, by Ingo Rammer, <span class="docEmphasis">.NET Web Services</span>, by Keith Ballinger, and <span class="docEmphasis">Applied Microsoft .NET Framework Programming</span>, by Jeffrey Richter. (For more details on these books, see the Bibliography.)</p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;" class="docText">Two core .NET topics are of special importance to WinForms programmers, and we cover them in more detail in <a class="docLink" href="0321125193_app02.html#app02">Appendix B</a>: Delegates and Events and in <a class="docLink" href="0321125193_app03.html#app03">Appendix C</a>: Serialization Basics. The coverage of delegates and events is particularly important if you're new to .NET, although I don't recommend diving into that topic until you've got a WinForms-specific frame of reference (which is provided about one-third of the way through <a class="docLink" href="0321125193_ch01.html#ch01">Chapter 1</a>: Hello, Windows Forms).</p><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/93108794/Windows_Forms_Programming_in_Visual_Basic_.NET_2004.chm">Resources</a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8442772742061560197-6756387767405495638?l=rapidshareebookslink.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05047674632638257751noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8442772742061560197.post-65796364929956210332008-02-19T23:18:00.000-08:002008-02-19T23:19:59.237-08:00<p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_T_U2dNe2irs/R7vIaSgkGTI/AAAAAAAABmc/VFuPQExfXHI/s1600-h/New+Picture+%2886%29.bmp"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 185px; height: 242px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_T_U2dNe2irs/R7vIaSgkGTI/AAAAAAAABmc/VFuPQExfXHI/s320/New+Picture+%2886%29.bmp" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5168945351308351794" border="0" /></a><br /></p><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Book's Audience</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></div><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span><div style="text-align: justify;">As an introduction to programming in Excel VBA, the book is primarily addressed to two groups of readers:<br /><br />• Excel users who are not programmers but who would like to be.

In this case, you can use Writing Excel Macros to brush up on some of the details of the VBA language and learn about the Excel object model and how to program it.<br /></div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/93108795/Writing_Excel_Macros_with_VBA_2nd_Ed_2002.pdf">Resources</a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8442772742061560197-6579636492995621033?l=rapidshareebookslink.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05047674632638257751noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8442772742061560197.post-14423641132291420322008-02-19T02:33:00.000-08:002008-02-19T02:34:23.749-08:00<p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_T_U2dNe2irs/R7qLyCgkGNI/AAAAAAAABls/NEpfD6JvlfQ/s1600-h/New+Picture+%2880%29.bmp"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_T_U2dNe2irs/R7qLyCgkGNI/AAAAAAAABls/NEpfD6JvlfQ/s320/New+Picture+%2880%29.bmp" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5168597214144239826" border="0" /></a><br /></p><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">About This Book</span><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Since version 3, Visual Basic has been the tool of choice for database programmers everywhere. First came DAO with version 3, RDO with version 4, and then the ability to build robust ActiveX components in version 5. With each successive version, Microsoft adds more functionality to make database programming easier for you.<br /><br />Visual Basic's powerful database feature set has continued to grow with version 6. New tools and technologies like ADO, OLE-DB, and the Microsoft Data Reporter vie for your attention. What does it all mean, what can it do for you, and most importantly, how do you quickly get up to speed? That's why this book was created. Visual Basic 6 Database How-To gives an in-depth view of each major method of data access, with real-life examples with which to work. Like all books in the successful How-To series, Visual Basic 6 Database How-To emphasizes a step-by-step problem-solving approach to Visual Basic programming. Each How-To follows a consistent format that guides you through the issues and techniques involved in solving a specific problem. Each section contains the steps to solve a problem, as well as a discussion of how and why the solution works. In most cases, you can simply copy the provided code or objects into your application and be up and running immediately. All the code described in the book is available on the accompanying CD-ROM.<br /></div><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/93055962/Visual_Basic_6_Database_How-To_1999.pdf"><br /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/93055962/Visual_Basic_6_Database_How-To_1999.pdf">Resources</a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8442772742061560197-1442364113229142032?l=rapidshareebookslink.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03124941446934495161noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8442772742061560197.post-70578631264401676002008-02-19T02:31:00.000-08:002008-02-19T02:32:16.456-08:00<p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_T_U2dNe2irs/R7qLJygkGMI/AAAAAAAABlk/zwBHt7z5uqg/s1600-h/New+Picture+%2879%29.bmp"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_T_U2dNe2irs/R7qLJygkGMI/AAAAAAAABlk/zwBHt7z5uqg/s320/New+Picture+%2879%29.bmp" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5168596522654505154" border="0" /></a><br /></p><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Introduction</span><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Welcome to your Visual Basic support package. Thats what this book has been designed to be: your complete VB support package. Have we reached that goal yet? Its up to you to decide. If what youre looking for is not in this edition, well work hard to make sure its in the nextI encourage your suggestions. Please feel free to write. Well put in the time to make sure this book is the most complete one available on Visual Basic, edition after edition. This is the book we want you to come back to again and again.<br /><br />Ive used Visual Basic back before version 1 even came out publicly and have written many books on the program.

That’s what this book has been designed to be: your complete VB support package. Have we reached that goal yet? It’s up to you to decide. If what you’re looking for is not in this edition, we’ll work hard to make sure it’s in the next—I encourage your suggestions. Please feel free to write. We’ll put in the time to make sure this book is the most complete one available on Visual Basic, edition after edition.

It’s true that some specialty books might have more coverage on a few topics, but if you want to see more on a particular topic, write in and we’ll work seriously on adding more of that topic to the next edition.</p><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/93055960/Visual_Basic_6_Black_Book_1998.chm"><br /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/93055960/Visual_Basic_6_Black_Book_1998.chm">Resources</a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8442772742061560197-526172879278366066?l=rapidshareebookslink.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03124941446934495161noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8442772742061560197.post-46359043717749075842008-02-19T02:29:00.001-08:002008-02-19T02:29:42.158-08:00<p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_T_U2dNe2irs/R7qDmygkGKI/AAAAAAAABlU/Y9FIKVeKCN0/s1600-h/New+Picture+%2878%29.bmp"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 235px; height: 271px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_T_U2dNe2irs/R7qDmygkGKI/AAAAAAAABlU/Y9FIKVeKCN0/s320/New+Picture+%2878%29.bmp" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5168588224777689250" border="0" /></a><br /></p><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Introduction<br /><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;">MCSD Training Guide: Visual Basic 6 Exams is designed for developers with the goal of certification as a Microsoft Certified Solutions Developer (MCSD).

These exams measure your ability to design and implement distributed and desktop application solutions by using Microsoft Visual Basic version 6.0.<br /><br />This book is your one-stop shop. Everything you need to know to pass the exams is in here, and Microsoft has approved it as study material. You do not have to take a class in addition to buying this book to pass the exam. However, depending on your personal study habits or learning style, you may benefit from buying this book and taking a class.<br /><br />This book also can help advanced users and administrators who are not studying for the exam but are looking for a single-volume reference on Microsoft’s TCP/IP implementation.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/93055959/Visual_Basic_6_-_The_Complete_Reference_1999.pdf">Resources</a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8442772742061560197-4635904371774907584?l=rapidshareebookslink.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03124941446934495161noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8442772742061560197.post-57113984847131099922008-02-19T02:28:00.000-08:002008-02-19T02:29:09.310-08:00<p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_T_U2dNe2irs/R7qDACgkGJI/AAAAAAAABlM/23I-b7bPmwA/s1600-h/New+Picture+%2877%29.bmp"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 225px; height: 283px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_T_U2dNe2irs/R7qDACgkGJI/AAAAAAAABlM/23I-b7bPmwA/s320/New+Picture+%2877%29.bmp" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5168587559057758354" border="0" /></a><br /></p><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Introduction</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></div><ul><li>Fundamental Visual Basic Programming 2</li><li>Working with Visual Basic Components 3</li><li>Creating Application Interfaces 4</li><li>Advanced Visual Basic Programming 4</li><li>Database Programming Techniques 5</li><li>Internet Programming 5</li><li>Additional References 5</li><li>Source Code and Programs Used in This Book 6</li><li>Conventions and Special Elements Used in This Book 6</li></ul><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/93055958/Visual_Basic_6_-_Special_Edition_1998.pdf">Resources</a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8442772742061560197-5711398484713109992?l=rapidshareebookslink.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03124941446934495161noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8442772742061560197.post-51719284126240632182008-02-19T02:27:00.002-08:002008-02-19T02:28:24.555-08:00<p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_T_U2dNe2irs/R7qCBCgkGII/AAAAAAAABlE/uSn6K7GhdUA/s1600-h/New+Picture+%2876%29.bmp"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 239px; height: 306px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_T_U2dNe2irs/R7qCBCgkGII/AAAAAAAABlE/uSn6K7GhdUA/s320/New+Picture+%2876%29.bmp" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5168586476725999746" border="0" /></a><br /></p><div style="text-align: justify;">1. Analyze: Define the problem. Be sure you understand what the program should do, that is, what the output should be. Have a clear idea of what data (or input) are given and the relationship between the input and the desired output.<br /><br />2. Design: Plan the solution to the problem. Find a logical sequence of precise steps that solve the problem. Such a sequence of steps is called an algorithm. Every detail, including obvious steps, shouldappear in the algorithm. In the next section, we discuss three popular methods used to develop the logic plan: flowcharts, pseudocode, and top-down charts. These tools help the programmer break a problem into a sequence of small tasks the computer can perform to solve the problem. Planning also involves using representative data to test the logic of the algorithm by hand to ensure that it is correct.<br /><br />3. Choose the interface: Select the objects (text boxes, command buttons, etc.). Determine how the input will be obtained and how the output will be displayed. Then create objects to receive the input and display the output. Also, create appropriate command buttons to allow the user to control the program.<br /><br />4. Code: Translate the algorithm into a programming language. Coding is the technical word for writing the program. During this stage, the program is written in Visual Basic and entered into the computer. The programmer uses the algorithm devised in Step 2 along with a knowledge of Visual Basic.<br /></div><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/93055957/Visual_Basic_6_-_Programming_Concepts_1999.pdf"><br /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/93055957/Visual_Basic_6_-_Programming_Concepts_1999.pdf">Resources</a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8442772742061560197-5171928412624063218?l=rapidshareebookslink.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03124941446934495161noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8442772742061560197.post-28413983109130910402008-02-19T02:27:00.001-08:002008-02-19T02:27:33.577-08:00<p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_T_U2dNe2irs/R7qBISgkGHI/AAAAAAAABk8/iL10spcqJR0/s1600-h/New+Picture+%2875%29.bmp"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 208px; height: 311px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_T_U2dNe2irs/R7qBISgkGHI/AAAAAAAABk8/iL10spcqJR0/s320/New+Picture+%2875%29.bmp" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5168585501768423538" border="0" /></a><br /></p><p style="text-align: center; font-weight: bold;" class="docText">Who This Book Is For</p><p style="text-align: justify;" class="docText"><span class="docEmphasis">Visual Basic 2005 Jumpstart</span> is written for VB 6 programmers who have yet to move to Visual Basic 2005, the latest release of Microsoft Visual Basic, one of the world's most popular programming languages.

Access 1.0 introduced the Joint Engine Technology (Jet) indexed sequential access method (ISAM) database and Embedded Basic, the forerunner of Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), in 1992. Access 1.0 and 1.1 enabled rapid application development (RAD) for Jet, as well as SQL Server 4.2 and other client/server database front ends that had Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) drivers. Visual Basic 3.0 introduced databinding and the first databound grid control in 1993, which resulted in a flood of books and magazine articles devoted to VB database programming with SQL and ODBC. Visual Basic 4.0 introduced 32-bit projects but wasn’t a robust development platform. 1995’s Visual Basic 5.0 added ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) 1.0 and OLE DB. VB and VBA became the world’s most popular programming languages with an estimated three million users. By 1998 most professional VB6 developers were writing production-grade Windows front ends for client/server databases and began to adopt Microsoft Transaction Server 1.0 for three-tier, distributed data access architectures. Developers wrote billions of lines of data-intensive VB code during the following four years.<br /></div><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/92823414/Visual_Basic_2005_Database_Programming_2006.pdf"><br /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/92823414/Visual_Basic_2005_Database_Programming_2006.pdf">Resources</a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8442772742061560197-2497810260338488264?l=rapidshareebookslink.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03124941446934495161noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8442772742061560197.post-55914907897645504762008-02-19T02:18:00.000-08:002008-02-19T02:19:04.023-08:00<p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_T_U2dNe2irs/R7pnqCgkGBI/AAAAAAAABkM/rXa2-Owou0Y/s1600-h/New+Picture+%2869%29.bmp"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 235px; height: 290px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_T_U2dNe2irs/R7pnqCgkGBI/AAAAAAAABkM/rXa2-Owou0Y/s320/New+Picture+%2869%29.bmp" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5168557494286686226" border="0" /></a><br /></p><h3 style="text-align: center;" class="docSection1Title" id="162593-847"><span style="font-size: 100%;">Visual Basic .NET Is a First-Class Language</span></h3><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;" class="docText">When I attended the Microsoft authors' summit in November of 2000, key Microsoft people kept referring to Visual Basic .NET as a "first-class" language.

Those of us who have programmed in these other languages, yet loved VB, patiently awaited the changes that would enable us to get out of "DLL Hell" and would remove limitations that definitely exist in VB6. With the arrival of Visual Basic .NET, those limitations are gone. My job is to show you what those limitations were while showing you what is available in Visual Basic .NET. For new capabilities, I might or might not explicitly say, "You couldn't do that in VB6," but VB6 programmers will know.</p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;" class="docText">Visual Basic .NET is a first-class language because it explicitly supports and contains things that are indicative of a first-class language, including inheritance, virtual methods, shared methods, event handling, structured exception handling, multithreading, and encapsulation at the namespace level. Inheritance in Visual Basic .NET means that you inherit methods and properties rather than just an interface. Event handling is implemented through delegates, special classes that allow you to write dynamic event handlers as well as being used to support forms. Shared methods—sometimes called class methods or static methods—support invoking behaviors at the metaclass level. Support also exists for multithreading, namespaces, and parameterized constructors. You will find that applications written in Visual Basic .NET are limited far more by your imagination than by the language itself and the .NET Framework</p><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/92823413/Visual_Basic_.NET_Unleashed_2002.chm">Resources</a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8442772742061560197-5591490789764550476?l=rapidshareebookslink.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03124941446934495161noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8442772742061560197.post-57195508510291067322008-02-19T02:10:00.000-08:002008-02-19T02:18:26.481-08:00<p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_T_U2dNe2irs/R7pm5ygkGAI/AAAAAAAABkE/HhbVpYQOCj4/s1600-h/New+Picture+%2868%29.bmp"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 227px; height: 271px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_T_U2dNe2irs/R7pm5ygkGAI/AAAAAAAABkE/HhbVpYQOCj4/s320/New+Picture+%2868%29.bmp" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5168556665357998082" border="0" /></a><br /></p><h2 style="text-align: center;" class="h2"><span style="font-size: 100%;"><span style="font-size: 100%;"><strong>Introduction</strong></span></span></h2><div style="text-align: justify;"><a name="NLID_xix000002"></a> </div><p style="text-align: justify;">T<span class="smallcaps">HIS BOOK ACTUALLY BEGAN</span> in Athens, Greece in 1993. Evangelos Petroutsos wrote a very interesting outline, and several sample chapters, for a book about "fascinating and sophisticated things" you could do with Visual Basic. I agreed with my publisher that his ideas had potential, but Evangelos was a first-time author. I had a track record, though, so the publisher said they'd invest in this "Power Toolkit" book if I agreed to co-author it. Even a small book represents a $50,000 gamble for a publishing house, and this was a very large book.</p><div style="text-align: justify;"><a name="NLID_xix000003"></a> </div><p style="text-align: justify;">I merrily agreed because I thought the topics were compelling—fractals, encryption, processing graphics, animated transitions, multimedia, manipulating color palettes, recursion, and other topics that were largely ignored by other VB books. To our delight, the book became a runaway bestseller in 1995. Evidently many Visual Basic programmers were ready for a book about advanced, cutting-edge programming techniques.</p><div style="text-align: justify;"><a name="NLID_xix000004"></a> </div><p style="text-align: justify;">In 2002, we decided to revisit this concept. Nearly a decade has passed, and we now have what amounts to a brand new Visual Basic language: VB.NET. We decided to follow the same path that we went down a decade ago: to explore aspects of VB.NET that have been largely ignored in other books, but are useful or interesting, or both.</p><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/92823412/Visual_Basic_.NET_Power_Tools_2004.chm">Resources</a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8442772742061560197-5719550851029106732?l=rapidshareebookslink.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03124941446934495161noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8442772742061560197.post-84738985823371402042008-02-18T01:38:00.001-08:002008-02-18T01:38:42.828-08:00<p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_T_U2dNe2irs/R7kScigkFxI/AAAAAAAABiM/tUymEqmyOH8/s1600-h/New+Picture+%2853%29.bmp"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 189px; height: 198px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_T_U2dNe2irs/R7kScigkFxI/AAAAAAAABiM/tUymEqmyOH8/s320/New+Picture+%2853%29.bmp" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5168182328893380370" border="0" /></a><br /></p><h1 style="text-align: center;" class="chapter-title"><span style="font-size: 100%;">Introduction</span></h1> <p style="text-align: justify;" class="first-para"><a name="4"></a><a name="IDX-xiii"></a>This book is an introduction to security for Visual Basic programmers. You’ll find it useful both as a prescriptive guide for writing secure applications and as a technical reference for how to actually implement security techniques in your own code.

The first part of the book, The Basics, is an introduction to the main features and concepts of Visual Basic programming. Given the newness of VB .NET, even seasoned VB professionals should find items of interest here. If you're new to VB, this part of the book is essential reading. It's divided into the following chapters:<br /><br />Chapter 1<br />In this chapter, you'll see how Visual Basic has evolved into the VB .NET language of today and get some sense of how and why VB .NET is different from previous versions of Visual Basic.<br /><br />Chapter 2<br />This chapter looks at the standard Visual Basic data types and how you use them. Behind the scenes, Visual Basic takes advantage of the .NET Framework's common type system, so the chapter also examines the .NET data types and the way in which VB wraps these data types.<br /><br />Chapter 3<br />With the release of its .NET version, Visual Basic finally becomes a fully object-oriented programming language. This chapter discusses the basic concepts of object-orientated programming and shows how you implement VB's object-oriented features in your programming.<br /><br />Chapter 4<br />This chapter surveys some of the new features of the .NET Framework that most impact the VB developer. These include namespaces, the Common Language Runtime (CLR), and assemblies.<br /><br />Chapter 5<br />The .NET Framework Class Library replaces portions of the Win32 API, as well as many of the individual object models that VB programmers have worked with over the past five years, with a single class library. This chapter offers a very fast-paced overview of the Framework Class Library and some of its features.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://rapidshare.com/files/92794862/Visual_Basic_.NET_Language_in_a_Nutshell_2001.pdf">Resources</a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8442772742061560197-2983492055801220887?l=rapidshareebookslink.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05047674632638257751noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8442772742061560197.post-25077775359528549142008-02-18T01:37:00.001-08:002008-02-18T01:37:43.974-08:00<p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_T_U2dNe2irs/R7lNJigkF9I/AAAAAAAABjs/5FysMYYB3wE/s1600-h/New+Picture+%2865%29.bmp"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 211px; height: 282px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_T_U2dNe2irs/R7lNJigkF9I/AAAAAAAABjs/5FysMYYB3wE/s320/New+Picture+%2865%29.bmp" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5168246873661904850" border="0" /></a><br /></p><div style="display: block;" id="subtabcontent1a"><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"> <p>For introductory and intermediate courses on Visual Basic programming offered in departments of Computer Science, CIS, MIS, IT, Business, Engineering, and Continuing Education.</p></div><p><b> </b> </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Teach Visual Basic .NET programming from the ground up!
