This study covers the role of Visual Basic and its potential within the large corporate environment. Aimed at programmers, IS managers and IT managers, the text applies topics and concepts to the medium to large business.

Visual Basic.NET by Example helps the reader learn Visual Studio.NET as well as how the language interacts with the .NET framework and other Visual Studio programming languages. Using this book, the reader will learn to build stand alone applications or applications and services which run within Microsoft's .NET Framework. This book explains each topic using real code examples to illustrate the VB.NET language and teaches in an easy-to-use tutorial manner.

Using real-world examples and a detailed case study,Introduction to Visual Basic Using .NEThelps you master VB.NET from the ground up, or rapidly migrate from VB6. The authors introduce the .NET Framework and Visual Studio.NET from the VB developer's perspective, examine VB.NET's basic coding constructs, and thoroughly explore both object-oriented programming and Windows Forms development. Coverage also includes: ADO.NET, threads, collections, delegates, attributes, and much more.

For courses in Visual Basic.NET Programming Introductory. Combining the Deitel(tm) signature LIVE-CODE(tm) Approach with a new Application-Driven(tm) methodology, this text uses a step-by-step tutorial approach to teach students the basics of programming using VB.NET. It builds upon previously learned concepts, and introduces new programming features in each successive tutorial. This comprehensive introduction to Visual Basic.NET covers GUI design, controls, methods, functions, data types, control structures, procedures, arrays, object-oriented programming, strings and characters, sequential files, and more. It also includes higher-end topics such as database programming, multimedia and graphics, and Web application development.

An accessible and step-by-step approach to using VB.NET and XML enterprise application development XML is a tool for interacting with, describing, and transporting data between machines across networks and across the Internet-perfectly suited for Microsoft's .NET plan to fully integrate the Internet into distributed computing. By using real-world and fully-functional examples, this book quickly brings Visual Basic programmers and developers up to speed on XML for enterprise application development. The authors include an overview of XML and how it works with VB.NET, then explain how to use it to manipulate data in distributed environments. Companion Web site at www.vb-helper.com features the complete working code for all the examples built in the book. Microsoft Technologies .NET Platform: The next big overhaul to Microsoft's technologies that will bring enterprise distributed computing to the next level by fully integrating the Internet into the development platform. This will allow interaction between any machine, on any platform, and on any device. Visual Basic.NET: The update to this popular visual programming language will offer greater Web functionality, more sophisticated object-oriented language features, links to Microsoft's new common runtime, and a new interface. ASP.NET: A programming framework (formerly known as Active Server Pages) for building powerful Web-based enterprise applications; can be programmed using VB.NET or C#. C#: Microsoft's new truly object-oriented programming language that builds on the strengths of C++ and the ease of Visual Basic; promises to give Sun's Java a run for its money.

This book continues to reflect our experience that topics once considered too advanced can be taught in the first course. The text addresses metalanguages explicitly as the formal means of specifying programming language syntax.

This is a quick and easy, and even fun, tutorial for beginner VB.NET programmers, especially those learning from scratch or moving from VB6.
