Visual Basic .net (Programmer's Reference) 3rd edition

Visual Basic. NET includes a host of new features that enable developers to maximize their productivity. In addition to a new unified IDE (integrated development environment) VB developers can take advantage of the new server explorer to easily integrate server-side components into their applications, the shared task list to help organize code, dynamic help for instant access to pertinent information, and macros to customize, extend and integrate the Visual Studio environment. Visual Basic. NET delivers on all of the top requests heard from developers over the past few years. This includes first-class object oriented constructs such as implementation inheritance and structured exception handling as well as power features such as free threading. In addition, new graphical designers for developing Windows and Web applications as well as for working with XML and serverside components will make VB developers more versatile than they've ever been in the past.
