Annotation: Whatever your situation, one thing is certain: you will always know what you want to do, but not necessarily how best to do it. This book has been written to help you through those difficult decisions and is an invaluable companion when tackling a wide range of Visual Basic 2005 problems.

Mastering .NET development is as much about understanding the functionality of the .NET Framework as it is about the syntax and grammar of your chosen language. "Visual Basic 2005 Recipes: A Problem-Solution Approach" recognizes this fine balance. This book meets your need for fast, effective solutions to the difficulties you encounter in your coding projects.

The recipes have been chosen with professional developers in mind and feature a careful balance of code and text--the code gives you everything you need to solve the problem at hand, while the accompanying text carefully explains how it solves your problem and, more importantly, why it works the way it does.
What you'll learn

Learn solutions to the most common development problems that real people meet in the field day-to-day. Understand how to use the .NET 2.0 namespaces to your best advantage. Examine coding issues from a Visual Basic perspective, including VB features such as the "My" namespace often neglected in C#-centric texts. Find answers to everything from application domains to XML processing, passing through graphics, database access, and security along the way! Learn about Language Integrated Query (LINQ), which is a feature of the new release of Visual Studio scheduled for release in 2007.
Who is this book for?

If you've ever stopped midline and wonderedhow you're going to finish the expression, or found yourself struggling with a complex piece of logic while wondering if you're reinventing the .NET wheel, this book is for you. It provides the succinct nuggets of information that you need to get the job done.

Publisher Description:
Attempting to learn all there is to know about developing VB .NET applications using the Microsoft .NET Framework would be an incredibly daunting task. For most of us, the easiest and best approach is to dive in and start writing code. We learn through testing and experimentation, and when we run into the unknown, we search the Internet or grab a book to assist with the current subject. Visual Basic 2005 Recipes is not a book that attempts to teach you about the inner workings of a specific subject. It is a resource book that should sit near you as you program, where you can quickly use it to reference what you need. As you are settled in front of your computer working, you will inevitably run into a situation where you need a little guidance, as all of us do from time to time. The subject matter in this book is so comprehensive that you are bound to find at least one recipe that will fit the bill whenever you need that nudge in the right direction. This book will not teach you everything you need know about developing VB .NET applications in Visual Studio 2005, but it will be invaluable as a stepping stone. Use the recipes as you need them, to help move your development projects along or to give you a starting point for your own experimentation.
