Publisher's Synopsis
Visual Basic is the most widely used programming language in the world. Microsoft is carrying VB forward into the .NET Framework in the form of VB.NET. VB.NET should be the natural progression for existing VB developers as they move to the .NET environment, and so is likely to be a popular tool in this framework. The .NET Framework is a large change from the previous development environment, and VB.NET has substantial improvements from previous versions of VB, making it an attractive choice for professional enterprise development.;Written with clear explanations and plenty of code examples, this book teaches VB.NET from first principles, it looks at subjects such as working with buttons, text boxes, labels and checkboxes, writing code (using variables, constants and common functions), controlling the flow of the code, working with message boxes, introducing object-oriented programming, creating your own controls, working with databases, creating menus, and graphics. This book is aimed at readers who wish to learn to program using VB.NET who have no prior experience of using VB.
