The same attributes that make the Visual Basic development system exceptionally productive and easy to use can also inadvertently lead to sloppy programming. But ""Practical Standards for Microsoft Visual Basic"" introduces developers to the proven practices that allow them to exploit the power of rapid development -- without creating hidden land mines in performance and maintainability. Designed for the recreational as well as the professional programmer, this book uses illustrative code samples -- many from real-world commercial projects -- to demonstrate practical solutions to programming just about any process -- with better, more reliable code!
