  Book Information

This book will help you solve more than 300 of the most
common and not-so-common tasks that working Visual Basic
2005 programmers face every day. If you're a seasoned .NET
developer, beginning Visual Basic programmer, or a developer
seeking a simple and clear migration path from VB6 to Visual
Basic 2005, the Visual Basic 2005 Cookbook delivers a
practical collection of problem-solving recipes for a broad
range of Visual Basic programming tasks.

The concise solutions and examples in the Visual Basic 2005
Cookbook range from simple tasks to the more complex,
organized by the types of problems you need to solve. Nearly
every recipe contains a complete, documented code sample
showing you how to solve the specific problem, as well as a
discussion of how the underlying technology works and that
outlines alternatives, limitations, and other
considerations. As with all O'Reilly Cookbooks, each recipe
helps you quickly understand a problem, learn how to solve
it, and anticipate potential tradeoffs or ramifications.

Useful features of the book include:
Over 300 recipes written in the familiar O'Reilly
Problem-Solution-Discussion format
Hundreds of code snippets, examples, and complete solutions
available for download
VB6 updates to alert VB6 programmers to code-breaking
changes in Visual Basic 2005
Recipes that target Visual Basic 2005 features not included
in previous releases
Code examples covering everyday data manipulation techniques
and language fundamentals
Advanced projects focusing on multimedia and mathematical
transformations using linear algebraic methods
Specialized topics covering files and file systems,
printing, and databases

In addition, you'll find chapters on cryptography and
compression, graphics, and special programming techniques.
Whether you're a beginner or an expert, the Visual Basic
2005 Cookbook is sure to save you time, serving up the code
you need, when you need it.
