VB.NET Core Classes in a Nutshell, 9780596002572 (0596002572), O'Reilly, 2002

The .NET platform gives Visual Basic developers access to an entirely new and comprehensive class library that promises to further simplify and speed VB application development. In VB.NET Core Classes in a Nutshell, VB Programmers will find a concise and thorough reference to the types found in the core namespaces of the .NET Framework Class Library. The heart of this book is a classic Nutshell Quick Reference to all the types found in 22 core .NET namespaces. The entry for each type describes its significance, explains how the type is used in .NET applications and lists its members and their signatures in readable VB.NET syntax. The core namespaces documented in this book include types in the following areas:

Essential system and programming services found in the System namespace
Text handling and regular expression pattern searches
Diagnostics, debugging, and performance monitoring
Generalized and specialized collection objects
Reflection
Extensible Markup Language (XML)
Input/output and serialization
Networking
Threading and timers
COM interop and globalization

An essential companion to VB.NET Language in a Nutshell, this book completes a two-volume reference that VB.NET programmers will turn to repeatedly in both its print and online versions.
