VB.NET language in a nutshell: a desktop quick reference

The extensive changes to Visual Basic and the newness of the .NET platform call for a VB .NET reference guide oriented toward professional developers--those deeply experienced in Visual Basic and those adding VB .NET to their list of mastered languages. VB .NET Language in a Nutshell answers the call. As a reference book, it doesn't waste space on simple concepts, but does document, using practical examples, how language elements work, alternative approaches, optimal usage, and potential pitfalls. The meat of the book is the alphabetical reference to the functions, statements, directives, objects, and object members that make up the VB .NET language. You can quickly get the whole story on a language element that interests you or seems to be behaving unexpectedly in your code. To ease your transition to .NET, each language element includes a "VB .NET/VB 6 Differences" section.
