Conclusion

In this chapter, we discussed the .NET Framework and some techniques on how to find what we need in the framework to solve a specific problem. The Windows Class Viewer, WinCV, is a helpful tool in this regard. We learned how to read the signatures of the constructors, methods, and properties in the .NET classes. You now have the ability to find and use any class in the entire .NET Framework. We also covered how to use the file handling classes (File and FileInfo) and the new String object.

When thinking about the work you'll do in Visual Basic .NET, keep in mind that computer languages influence how you think about a problem. They also influence how you think about communicating. The limits of a computer language are the limits of one's world. If you don't have a word for "object," for example, you can't think about objects when considering a problem. Because the .NET Framework includes a rich set of classes, developers are provided with productive and elegant tools with which to build solutions. We can stretch our minds and expand our solutions by using prebuilt functionality, which permits us to think about problems in an expanded yet simpler way.
