If you are going to be using Visual Studio for eight hours a day you will want to have a look at this book
— Jack Herrington, Code Generation Network
Visual Studio is the only suitable environment for professional development of .NET 1.1, and it is just about the only choice for developers in Microsoft technology. It is a complex and feature-rich vehicle mainly for C#, VB .NET, and web development, and drawing out its full potential can be a challenge for novice and professional programmers alike.
Pro Visual Studio .NET reveals and demystifies Visual Studio to enable programmers to do their job more quickly and with fewer errors. The authors of this book are all well known in each field of .NET development, and offer their hands-on experience of making the tool work in the real world. They'll show you how to tweak this environment to get the very best out of it, and you'll learn by seeing practical tasks put into, and through Studio, to get the best results.
