It is organized with respect to the types of problems you need to solve. Nearly every recipe contains a complete, documented code sample showing how to solve the specific problem, as well as a discussion of how the underlying technology works and outlines alternatives, limitations, and other considerations where appropriate.

No matter what you're programming level may be, this book offers an eye-opening "Aha!" experience for anyone using Visual Basic.

Imparts the basics of pros and cons to the solving process.
Reviewer: Midwest Book Review

Over 300 common and uncommon tasks Visual Basic 2005 programmers face often are arranged in a solution-oriented set of examples which is based on 'recipes' and formulas but includes code, examples, complete solutions and even advanced projects. Particularly valuable for .NET developers as well as novice Visual Basic students, the Visual Basic 2005 Cookbook offers up a set of recipes for solving a wide swatch of common problems - and imparts the basics of pros and cons to the solving process.

For intermediate to experienced programmers, this is a hard-working compendium of real-world solutions-plus an abundance of code samples on CD-ROM-that provide practical, direct answers to programming problems as well as explorations of the newest, most exciting capabilities of the latest version of Microsoft Visual Basic.

Microsoft Visual Basic 4.0 Developer's Workshop (Microsoft Programming Series) (Paperback)


Believe it or not this might be the best Vb 4.0 book book you ever buy. An intermediate and hardcore VB programmers would find this book hard to resist. In every chapter, you would find such a heading "Dear John, How do I...?" OPPSS...Don't be fooled by this phrase yet, this is not just another "how-to" programming book which is usually filled with codes and codes... (sigh...boring...and make you more confused...). It has a very essential tool every VB programmer needs , yet, might have been forgotten somehow For example, in one of the chapter, the author gives you such an insightful trick in "how to make a tooltip" (tooltip is that cool thing that would appear anytime go inside the toolbar). Oh yeah, not to forget this one, the book comes with a handy CD-ROM (for the lazybone type just like me, of course...) Buy now, and you can sleep faster and earlier this night (and the following day...and the following day...)
