Visual Basic .NET Black Book is a comprehensive reference and problem-solving guide for Visual Basic programmers. It covers Visual Basic.NET tips, examples, and how-tos on everything from programming to managing the development of Visual Basic applications. It provides in-depth material on the new object-oriented features of Visual Basic .NET. Readers will also learn about the crucial Visual Basic tool set in detail including the best Visual Basic programming practices, from design tools to interface design. Using the popular Black Book format, this book provides in-depth analyses of VB.NET technologies and hundreds of immediate programming solutions making it an invaluable resource.
This book has been designed to give you the Visual Basic .NET coverage you just won’t find in any other book. Other books often omit not only the larger topics, like deploying your program after you’ve created it, but also the smaller ones like covering just about every Windows and Web control that comes with Visual Basic .NET in depth-from the text box control to three-state checkboxes, from datetime pickers to hot tracking tab controls, and from Web page validation controls to ad rotators. And the advanced topics are here too, like creating your own Windows and Web controls, writing Windows and Web services, distributed data applications, multithreading, deploying applications, and more.

Book Description
Including a tutorial on how to use data structures and algorithms and a reference for implementation using VB.NET and the .NET Framework Class Library, this is the first Visual Basic.NET book to provide a comprehensive discussion of the major data structures and algorithms. Michael McMillan presents arrays and arraylists, linked lists, hash tables, dictionaries, trees, graphs, sorting and searching as well as more advanced algorithms, such as probabilistic algorithms and dynamic programming in an object-oriented fashion. Finally, the professional or student VB.NET programmer has a dedicated reference instead of having to translate material on C++ or Java.
