The Designing Visual Basic.NET Applications book is a desktop reference that helps the Visual Basic developer get up to speed on .NET as fast as possible, while avoiding topics experienced developers are already familiar with. It encompasses all language enhancements to Visual Basic and explains the .NET framework concepts and real-world examples of their use. It includes object models for developing ADO.NET, ASP.NET, SOAP, and XML. The book covers best practices, web development project coverage, data access method code examples featuring the newly released ADO.NET, detailed info on security features, and helps you migrate old Visual Basic projects to .NET. In addition, the book includes helpful checklists and models to aid developers in project planning and migration.

While many books cover specific technical issues, they very rarely provide architectural guidance, which is especially helpful with adoption of Microsoft .NET. In this title, the expert author presents technologies within the context of their most appropriate use, and discuss design tradeoffs for large-scale applications.
