Summary: .NET Framework Object Hierarchy
Comment: If you're an experienced Microsoft developer and you're looking for a well organized reference on the new .NET framework classes, this is the book for you. If you want to see what is in the System.Text namespace, the XML namespaces and so on, it is true that you can get that information in the MSDN library. However, this book organizes it nicely and provides pertinent examples in what the book terms "Immediate Solutions".
If you're looking for beginner's book on programming in C# or VB .NET, look elsewhere as this isn't a book on syntax, how to program, or how to use the IDE as some reviewers thought. I think the title is self-explanatory and the book doesn't purport to be a how-to for the IDE.
This book targets advanced developers who need to understand the new tools and concepts made available in the .NET framework. Whole chapters are devoted to remoting and ADO .NET. If you've been forced to use VB as I have, you'll need a refresher on using streams - this book provides information on streams (System.IO namespace) and examples on using various stream readers and writers.

Summary: Free SDK + notepad.exe + vbc.exe + this book = great things
Comment: The comments about the VB.net bias and the fairly sparse IDE examples are correct (though you do get a modest share of C#, and a smidgen of managed C++). Fortunately, I approached this book as a newcomer to Windows programming who's just bought VB.Net Standard, installed the dotNet SDK, and wants to know what can be done with it. As such, this is a great resource. And as a proponent of actually knowing how to code as opposed to knowing how to use a GUI, the "notepad development" tendency was right up my alley. ... I found this book for a steep discount, but after reading it I would have paid full price--bearing in mind my situation/desires.

Summary: Awesome Book
Comment: I have little to no prior experience to vb.net so I didn't want to get a book that didn't go in to any details or did not explain why things work the way they do because the author may assume that you know what's going on. This is by far the best .Net book I've read so far and I'm only on Chapter 4. If you want to learn VB.net, order this book!
