Reader Reviews
Finally, a book with one-stop shopping for VB.NET! I've read several cookbook-style programming titles in the past, and I was pleasantly surprised to find this has much more depth than I expected. It can't cover everything (.NET is huge), but every time I pick the book up I learn something new. There are so many highlights--just browse through the table of contents and you'll see what I mean! Here are some of my favorites: * Send keystrokes to another app * Create a thread-safe control wrapper * Great data-binding tips (image-to-picture box, etc.) * Factory, Registry, Singleton, Memento, and Lazy Initialization patterns * POP3, FTP, and Ping classes in the networking section * How to change a password into a salted hash for storage in a database * Use ZIP and PDF files (disclaimer: some third-party code is required, although it's free) * Manage print jobs that are underway * Get Windows accounts and roles * Do hit testing with custom graphics * Defend against SQL injection * Dynamically generate an ASP.NET graphic * Add ASP.NET controls on the fly * MAPI and MCI (unfortunately, just through the ActiveX controls) * Upload binary data with a web service * Use a web service in VB 6
