Rating: - Visual Studio.Net All in One Desk Reference for Dummies
Very good, has lot's of practicle examples. A must have
Rating: - Visual Studio.net not for dummies
The title of this tome is very misleading. I was expecting to find a guide to ease me slowly into the nomenclature and conventions of this very powerful software suite, but what I found was an advanced tip guide for intermediate users already familiar with version 6.0. Being a dummy myself in this field, I was very disappointed with my somewhat large investment in this guide. Also, it is not written in the plain, folksy manner that defines the best of this series. There's $35 I'll never get back. ... Read More
Rating: - Disappointing
Although usually I'm a big fan of the Dummies books, I was really disappointed by this one.
First of all it is not as "hands-on" as other Dummies books.

Notice the use of & _ & at the end of the first and start of the second lines. This is wrong but not terminal. The real problem is that you will get a syntax error after Department = "@
These lines should probably read: str = "Update Employees set Department ... Read More
Rating: - Not a Visual Studio .NET book, it's a .Net language book
Well, I already have a number of .NET language books, I did not need any more. I enjoy the for dummies books because they start at the low level and work upwards from there. What I was looking for was a book that would tell me how to use Visual Studio.NET to it's maximum potential. Instead, I got 7 mini-books on how to program in each of the languages that Visual Studio offers. The title should be Programming in .NET for Dummies rather than using VS.NET in the title. I can write in any of those languages ... Read More
