Features: Visual Basic .NET is the new version of Visual Basic and a key component of Microsoft's .NET strategy. Compared to previous VB versions, VB.NET has made a significant leap, becoming more flexible and powerful. Microsoft has incorporated many new features into VB.NET, with one of the most important being the full implementation of object-oriented programming and the greatly enhanced Web design capabilities. The main content of this book includes: .NET Framework and the Common Language Runtime (CLR), inheriting from base classes to create derived classes, handling errors using TryCatchFinally structures, namespaces, accessing data with ADO.NET, creating Windows applications and customizing Windows controls, combining COM and ActiveX components, creating Windows services, accessing information on the Web with VB.NET, and securing applications and code using tools provided in the .NET Framework SDK. This book is primarily intended for intermediate to advanced VB developers who wish to learn VB.NET and the .NET Framework.
