Rating:  - This book is terrible, and every time I use it - I'm let down.
Chris Sells book on window forms programming is a huge let down. I kept hearing it was the defacto book on Winforms develpment; I bought the 1.1 version and the 2.0 versions.
After doing considerable 1.1 programming, and trying to use his book; I couldn't believe how terrible it was.
The section that is dedicated to data grids and data binding is all combined and co-mingled. It stops after it tells you how to populate a grid. With no discusion of how to access the data, use ... Read More
Rating:  - VB 6.0 Veteran Makes The Switch
I have been programming in Visual Basic 6.0 for over 7 years now. I have often thought of making the switch to [VB], but could never find the book that would help me make the transition. Sure I read all of the books I could find. It wasn't until I was surfing around Safari Books Online and I came across this book. I figured this was going to be another boring, hard to read technical book on Visual Basic programming. I almost passed over it, but then I thought, "No. I'll take a look." I had the book ...

Rating: - Seasoned in VB6 Prg. I was stuck with VB.NET until this book
I was a little frustrated with myself in trying to pick up .NET development. After all, I could code VB6 w/o effort, but I was struggling to find a book that would be more than a beginner's guide but that would help get me locked into solid .NET development using Winforms. Chris Sells', Windows Forms Programming in Visual Basic .NET, was the book I was looking for. From learning the basics of the new .NET Winforms, Controls, and IDE to more advanced concepts new to VB programmers such as inheritance, ... Read More
Rating: - Wow
I must say, Chris Sells is the most enjoyable CS author i have ever read. This book was actually recommended by Carl Franklin of franklins.net and i must say that i haven't been happier. Chris communicates on levels that some of us rarley go. Chris starts off with here is console app, and then scales all the way up into windows apps, custom painting, printing, threading, etc. Chris you are one gifted author, and when .NET 2.0 comes out, i'll be the first to order your book.
Rating: - A master work!
Should be considered *THE* reference for any Windows Forms developer for .NET. This book covers everything from intro material to details of threading and security, and covers it all well. Keep it nearby when developing.
