Helpful book, had better examples than some "instructional" books I have seen! Wouldn't purchase as the first book but is handy to have around.
Rating: - good for migrating to vb.net from other languages
I am very happy with my purchase. This book is just what it is though, a language reference. It does show simple snippets of code for illustration of most functionality.

Rating: - A Poor Version of VB6 Language Reference

A reference should include all the necessary information on procedures, event ... Read More
Rating: - It's a reference book
As usual with Microsoft's references, this is the same information that you can expect to find online and in the VB.Net help. That is a good thing for those that like to have a book to refer to while coding.
The information in this book is essential to experienced VB programmers because of the many language changes from prior VB versions.
