Summary: No VB.NET code in the book
Comment: The cover of the book states "Project Source Code in C# AND Visual Basic.Net" There is no VB.NET code in the book. If you want VB code you need to look on the CD that comes with the book. This is probably a big plus to C programmers and a major drawback to VB programmers. If you are not a C programmer, this book is a waste of money, because not only will you have to read a boring book; you will have to decipher the C# which can really slow you down. However, if you are a C programmer or are trying to become one, then this book is a good reference for .Net graphics.

Summary: An invitation to graphics with the .Net Framework
Comment: I was lost going from Visual Basic 6 to VB.Net. All my little graphics techniques and shortcuts were useless, and I didn't understand the underlying principles. This book showed me the way.
This book provides both the step-by-step "how to draw a line" and a broad explanation of how it all fits in the .Net Framework and class structure. It covers a wide range of graphic and printing tasks, explaining simple tasks and building to more complex efforts.
The examples in the book are in C#, but the CD has the Visual Basic code, and it's not at all hard to follow the text which plays off the similarities of VB and C#.
Well written, well organized. An excellent book.

Summary: Just what I needed!
Comment: Using the powerful GDI+ libraries in .NET come with a fairly large learning curve, especialy for printing. This book cuts through all confusion with elegant and useful examples. It also includes many diagrams and visual aides to help you conceptualize the various classes and properties (I wish the .NET documentation did the same). It also goes over various gotchas that pop-up in the framework or graphics programing in general, saving me hours of trial and error. The printing chapter alone is worth the entire book, especialy the example of how to word wrap text across multiple pages! This book will be a constant reference guide for me as I create complex report forms using the framework. Forget "GDI+ Programing in C# and VB.NET" (which I unfortuantly bought) and get this book if your at all intersted in graphics programing or printing in .NET.
