Programming Visual Basic .NET is the complete guide to application development using Visual Basic .NET. Targeted at programmers with some prior programming experience, the book covers the major areas of application development for Microsoft's new .NET platform.After starting with the traditional "hello world" application, the book discusses the two basic building blocks of any .NET application built with Visual Basic--the Visual Basic .NET programming language and the .NET Framework.Topics covered include:

Visual Basic language elements
Visual Basic's object-oriented language features
Programming with attributes
The Common Language Runtime
Garbage Collection and the Finalize and Dispose methods
Programmatically reading from and writing to .NET configuration files

The remainder of the book focuses on the three major kinds of applications that can be developed with the .NET Framework: Windows Forms applications, ASP.NET applications, and web services. In each case, the book shows you how to build an application using Visual Studio .NET as well as using a text editor and the VisualBasic command-line compiler. This gives you an "under the hood" look at what Visual Studio is doing and allows you to gain a greater understanding of how a .NET application works--an understanding that you can take advantage of in building your own applications. Individual development topics covered in these chapters include:

Developing Multiple Document Interface (MDI) Windows Forms applications.
Handling form and control placement and resizing
Working with Windows Forms menus
Working with Windows Common Dialogs
Taking advantage of .NET printer services programmatically
Using ASP.NET HTML controls and Web controls
Understanding security in ASP.NET
Creating, discovering, and consuming web services
Accessing data in your .NET applications using ADO.NET

Published just in time for the first release of Visual Studio .NET,Programming Visual Basic .NET is sure to become a key component of developers' .NET libraries.
