Summary: Solid reference, resource
Comment: I wish I had this book a year ago when I first started developing with .NET! Even though I'm no longer a newbie, I'm already using this book as a one-stop reference. I tested it against other books, and this one gave me the quickest solutions for making thread "wrappers", serializing objects in different ways, and writing a timer-based Windows service (three tasks I had in an average week).
Overall, this cookbook has a little bit of everything, and the dense examples and explanations are so much better than the typical .NET programming book (most are full of fluff and theory). Even experienced developers should find a few new tricks here. For me, the security chapter was the best new material (including how to restrict permissions on dynamically loaded assemblies, encrypt objects, and use XML signatures). The ADO.NET chapter is good, but I would have liked even more. The ASP.NET and web services chapters are also good, but hard-core ASP.NET developers will probably want a dedicated cookbook for this stuff, because many topics are not covered. The early, more basic chapters, were also great--you'll be surprised how useful it is to have a list of the core .NET interfaces (for making objects serializable, convertible, disposable, comparable, etc.) and examples how to implement them. Overall, this is a great book for browsing, reviewing, or just honing your skills.

Summary: Essential quick-reference
Comment: This book is essentially a roughly-categorized list of neat things you can do with VB.NET. Most of the tasks are ones you would think of and could figure out, but maybe have to struggle through the helpfiles and language reference in order to determine how to do it.
Not so if you own this book. Simply look up a topic it covers, and not only will it present the solution in general terms in plain, easy-to-understand, concise English, but it generally provides easy-to-apply sample code.
This book is an essential reference for any VB.NET programmer and I only wish that the "cookbook" format was used for other languages (Java, C++, C#, or .NET in general).

Summary: Just a great book to have in the library! Must have!
Comment: There just seems to be so much to learn with VB.NET and the .NET Framework to do things you've always done in VB or VBScript or any other language. Sure, you could go search for it, but just pick up this book. It'll save you hours and hours of hassle! This has been my most valuable book. Buy now!
