Why Another Visual Basic Book?


Each major release of Visual Basic leaves shelves full of tutorial and training books in its wake. The 2005 release of Visual Basic is no exception, especially since Microsoft expects adoption of Visual Basic on the .NET platform to dramatically increase with this edition. The majority of VB books assume that you're a complete novice and slowly introduce you to basic concepts such as variables, arrays, and looping structures.

This is a different kind of book. It is a detailed, professional reference to the Visual Basic languagea reference that you can use to jog your memory about a particular language element or a particular parameter. It will come in handy when you need to review the rules for a particular language element, or when you want to check that there isn't some "gotcha" you've overlooked with a particular language feature.

In addition, this book serves as a valuable reference for VB 6 programmers who are upgrading to .NET and for existing .NET programmers who need to know about specific differences found in each subsequent release of the Visual Basic language. To this end, we have devoted considerable space to the extensive language differences between VB 6 and VB.NET 2002, and the versions beyond. For each relevant language entry in the large reference chapter (Chapter 12), we have included a "Version Differences" section that details the usage changes for the language element between VB 6 and the 2002, 2003, and 2005 releases of Visual Basic.
