“Visual Studio .Net Team System” (VSTS) helps project heads and developers work together more efficiently when they create enterprise level applications. Unlike many other products, VSTS is designed to work across the whole of the project’s life cycle. As a result, many applications are included within the system, including a suite of modeling tools, a logical operations manager, a source-code control and versioning system, and build, unit and load testing software. This book will help readers grasp the complexities of the new software and maximize its potential. (more…)

Many beginning programming books try to teach the reader three things at the same time: how to write a program, how to write a program using a particular programming language, and how to write a program using a particular compiler. To avoid this triple source of potential confusion, Visual Basic 2005 Express: Now Playing provides a short primer on how programming works in general, regardless of the programming language used. Once readers understand the general principles behind computer programming, the book then teaches readers how to use the Visual Basic Express program itself and how to write programs using the Visual Basic language. The CD includes numerous short source code examples that you can run and modify, and movies that show how to accomplish specific tasks with Visual Basic 2005 Express. (more…)

Are you hesitant to migrate to Visual Studio(r) 2005? Maybe you’re ready to upgrade to Visual Basic 2005 but feel a bit overwhelmed by ADO.NET 2.0 and the Visual Data Tools of this new release. In this hands-on guide, I’ll share with you the best practices, the latest features, and advanced data management techniques with Visual Basic 2005 and SQL Server or SQL Server Express 2005. Plus, I’ll incorporate simple to moderately complex project examples that feature real-world, database front-end applications with Windows and Web forms.

First, I’ll begin with ADO.NET 2.0 basics, then I’ll move on to designing and programming smart clients with typed DataSets as their data sources. Gradually, I’ll walk you through using DataSource, GridView, and DetailsView Web controls. Finally, I’ll demonstrate how to take advantage of the new T-SQL extensions, in-process Web services, and notifications.
