Synopsis

Application Development Using Visual Basic and .NET gives experienced developers unprecedented insight for building .NET enterprise applications with Visual Basic .NET. A running case study covers the entire process from creating a monolithic VB.NET console application to adding a Windows Forms interface, isolating functionality inside components, providing database access and security, and delivering functionality through ASP.NET and Web services. The book includes a self-contained language overview for new Visual Basic .NET users.
