Are you hesitant to migrate to Visual Studio(r) 2005? Maybe you're ready to upgrade to Visual Basic 2005 but feel a bit overwhelmed by ADO.NET 2.0 and the Visual Data Tools of this new release. In this hands-on guide, I'll share with you the best practices, the latest features, and advanced data management techniques with Visual Basic 2005 and SQL Server or SQL Server Express 2005. Plus, I'll incorporate simple to moderately complex project examples that feature real-world, database front-end applications with Windows and Web forms.

First, I'll begin with ADO.NET 2.0 basics, then I'll move on to designing and programming smart clients with typed DataSets as their data sources. Gradually, I'll walk you through using DataSource, GridView, and DetailsView Web controls. Finally, I'll demonstrate how to take advantage of the new T-SQL extensions, in-process Web services, and notifications.

What you will learn from this book

* How to build usable Windows(r) and Web forms from a sample database in less than five minutes-without writing a line of code
* Effective writing of data validation code for bound text boxes and DataGridViews
* Ways to apply advanced ASP.NET 2.0 data techniques
* The process of creating and deploying VB 2005 SQL CLR projects

Programming VB .Net: A Guide for Experienced Programmers
by Gary Cornell, Jonathan Morrison
ISBN: 1893115992
Pub. Date: October 2001
When Gary Cornell and VB legend Dan Appleman founded APress, they both committed to writing a book to get their fledgling company off the ground. (Dan wrote the API Puzzle Book.) This is Gary's contribution.

This is the book that you want to read if you have knocked around VB 6 for a couple of years and you've decided to move up to .NET.

This book doesn't waste time on the fundamentals but rather gets right to the core of what's new, different, interesting - and especially, what's important to know. But at the same time, this isn't likely to be the book you keep at the side of your workstation to reference. The authors' goal was to get you "over the hump" into the huge world of .NET rather than provide a comprehensive encyclopedia. In the chapter on GDI+, you can see Gary's shifting focus in the footnote, ". . . we can only touch on (GDI+) here . . . if you are willing to write a book, contact gary_cornell@apress.com …" (Nick Symmonds evidently took Gary up on it with his APress book on GDI+.

For the target audience, technical books don't get much better than this. It's full of industry insider comments, comments and opinion that experienced programmers will appreciate, and it answers the "why" questions that Microsoft left completely out of the "official" documentation. Because the focus is much more than just syntax and code examples, the "shelf life" of a book like this is much longer. Don't buy this one to have in case you need it. Buy this one to read.
About the Author

Gary Cornell is another author who started his career as a mathematician (PhD, Brown University) but after a twisted career through technical training and writing, ended up co-founding APress ("The Authors Press") with Dan Appleman primarily because he was disgusted with the way traditional publishing companies treat technical authors. He has reached the point in life where he speaks and writes plainly now. Here's a quote about Microsoft's Upgrade Wizard, for example, "The whole idea of giving us a half-baked conversion tool is an abomination IMHO."

Synopsis
The series format is a step by step tutorial intended for the Intermediate to Advanced programmer looking to be challenged in a new area. Each book in the series meets the 2 aims of a developer when learning a new technology, firstly to learn the techniques and tools, but secondly how to accomplish their goals with that particular technology. Many other books aimed at this market fall short of the Intermediate to Advanced label. Although containing advanced material, many have long elaborate introductions, which are at the expense of more technical information later in the book. The Professional Projects series contains only a brief introduction, and quickly moves the reader onto more challenging material. Sections Overview Section Lays the groundwork for understanding the particular development issues surrounding the uses for the application. Projects Section Presented projects are increasingly more complex in an attempt to guide the reader through practical development scenarios and to represent real world examples. Beyond the lab Serves as a summary for what the reader has just learned and roadmap for readers to search for further information. It also resents a skills path and suggests related technologies that need to be studied. Reference Appendix Acts as a quick reference and covers the main commands that a developer will need to use. An invaluable tool to a new developer.
