Rating:  - Great for what it says it's for - a Translation Guide
I bought this book because I had taken on a new job and had 2 weeks to learn VB.Net the way I know C#.Net. This book was and still is a great asset to have for anyone looking for a quick concise guide to translate between VB.Net and C#.Net It's not a learning guide for .Net (as it states in the intro) and does not get to specifics about winforms and webforms. What it does is very effectively explain syntax differences and other caveats to be aware of between the .Net languages (I skipped over all ... Read More
Rating:  - very useful for going from C# to VB or vice-versa
Having coded in C#, and having to pick up a project all in VB.NET, which, btw, was ported from VB6, was not familiar with the synthax and conventions of the visualbasicers. My problem was mostly about the lack of knowledge on language synthax and idiom expression. Knew "how to do this and that", but didn't have the synthax on my fingertips. This book pretty much summarizes all my desires at this point: it has side by side examples in VB6, VB.NET, and C#, with a commentary on features that may be ... Read More
Rating: - It Accomplishes Its Goal
I use this book a LOT. The reason I love it is because it does exactly what it was meant to do: take a starting point that I can relate to, Visual Basic 6, and cross-reference my previous knowledge to VB.NET and C#. I have not found any other book that cross-references all three languages the way this one does. For instance, if I know what command I would use in VB 6, but I'm new to C# then it's a 15 minute search to find something equivalent in MSDN. But if I pull out my trusty Translation Guide there ...

Rating: - A Very Useful Quick Ref
Anytime I enter into the world of a new technology, I tend to inundate myself with books. I purchased many books as I prepared myself for the transition into .NET, particularly to adopting the use of C#.
While other books taught me about the ins and outs of the .NET framework, this one helped me to quickly grasp the language. It provides useful and practical examples for tasks I had long taken for granted in VB 6.0 and prior. In fact, the essense of the book is all about bridging one's understanding ... Read More
Rating:  - Don't Waste Your Time
This book ignores major features of the .Net Architecture, and barely acknowledges ASP. It is as if the author has heard about the framework secondhand.
