Practical Guidelines and Best Practices for Microsoft Visual Basic and Microsoft Visual C# Developers by Francesco Balena, Giuseppe Dimauro

From Barnes & Noble

The Barnes & Noble Review
.NET’s been around long enough for hundreds of reliable “best practices” to develop. Now two of the world’s leading VB and C# programmers have created an encyclopedia of those best practices. It’s a rare program that won’t benefit from one of their more than 700 techniques for improving reliability, efficiency, scalability, reusability, even security.

Francesco Balena (Wintellect’s resident VB.NET expert and founder of vb2themax.com) and Giuseppe Dimauro address everything from memory usage to threads, exception handling to assemblies. You’ll find solutions no matter what you’re building: Windows applications with Windows Forms, web applications, web services, or ADO.NET-enabled database applications -- even integrating older code with PInvoke and COM Interop. Of course, everything’s illuminated with practical examples. Get the book, download the code, and you’re in business. Bill Camarda, from the April 2005 Read Only
