Application Development Using VB.NET

This book gives experienced developers the practical insight they need to build enterprise applications using Visual Basic .NET. Using extensive code examples and a running case study, the authors illuminate the .NET concepts and technologies that offer developers the greatest power and value. They cover the entire process of constructing a .NET application: developing a simple .NET console application; adding a Windows Forms interface; isolating functionality within components; providing database access via ADO.NET; securing your code; and using ASP.NET to create Web applications and services.This book is written for the experienced programmer to help you quickly come up to speed on the VB.NET language and then go on to an in-depth study of the .NET Framework. It is a practical book for practicing professionals, and it has many examples and a realistic case study that continues through many of the chapters. The goal is to equip you to begin building significant applications using Visual Basic .NET and the .NET Framework.

The book is part of The Integrated .NET Series from Object Innovations and Prentice Hall PTR. Other books in the series provide a more a more basic introduction to VB.NET, discuss the issues of migrating to VB.NET, and cover other important .NET languages and topics in the Framework. See the front of this book for a list of titles in the series. This book, in substance and structure, is quite close to the companion titles Application Development Using C# and .NET and .NET Architecture and Programming Using Visual C++. A major difference between those books and this, besides using VB.NET as the language, is extensive coverage of GUI programming, including three chapters on Windows Forms and a chapter on GDI+.
