Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Visual Basic .NET All-In-One Desk Reference For Dummies by Richard Mansfield provides a comprehensive guide to Visual Basic .NET programming, making it clear and accessible for both beginners and professionals alike.

This book covers all aspects of VB .NET programming through seven self-contained minibooks, each dedicated to a specific area: Visual Basic .NET Programming Fundamentals, Advanced Visual Basic .NET Programming, The .NET Editor, Object-Oriented Programming, Programming for the Web, Database Programming, and Graphics and Games.

Visual Basic is the primary tool for more than fifty percent of all professional developers, and the upgrade to VB .NET represents a major paradigm shift. This handy all-in-one guide gives easy access to valuable information required for adapting to this new environment.

The book guides the reader on integrating with the rest of Visual Studio .NET, covers programmatic encryption and other .NET security capabilities, and demonstrates how to program for Web services using VB .NET and ASP.NET.

Additionally, the companion website includes a must-have bonus appendix. This appendix provides parallel VB 6 and VB .NET sample code to assist VB programmers in making the transition to .NET, which can often be challenging.
