VB .NET Language in a Nutshell

VB .NET Language in a Nutshell

by Paul Lomax (Author), Ron Petrusha (Author), PhD Steven Roman (Author)

Synopsis

In response to the extensive changes to Visual Basic and the newness of the .NET platform, this guide is aimed at professional developers - those deeply experienced in Visual Basic and those adding VB .NET to their list of mastered languages. It documents, using practical examples, how language elements work as well as alternative approaches, optimal usage, and potential pitfalls. The book leads the reader through the important areas of programming VB .NET including: variables and data types; introduction to object-oriented programming; the .NET framework - general concepts; the .NET framework class library; delegates and events; and error handling. An alphabetical reference to the functions, statements, directives, objects and object members that make up the VB .NET language is provided. To ease the transition to .NET, there's a "VB .NET/VB 6 Differences" section for each language element.
