Mastering Visual Studio .NET provides you, as an
experienced programmer, with all the information needed to
get the most out of the latest and greatest development
tool from Microsoft. It doesn't matter if you're an MFC,
C++, STL, ATL, COM, Win32, Visual Basic, C#, HTML, XML,
ASP.NET, database, web application, Web service, NT
service, stand-alone client, or component programmer
targeting Windows or one of the Windows variants (i.e.
Windows CE or the PocketPC) -- this is the book that will
help you master the toolkit.
Written by experienced developers and trainers John
Flanders, Ian Griffiths, and Chris Sells,
Mastering Visual
Studio .NET begins with fundamental information about
maximizing the power of Visual Studio .NET as it comes out
of the box, including the following topics:
- projects and solutions
- files and the various file editors
- debugging
- web projects
- database projects
- setup projects
To experience the full spectrum of functionality and
extensibility,
Mastering Visual Studio .NET provides
you with the practical depth and detail needed to best put
these features to work. The second section of the book is
about extending VS.NET to suit your specific needs:
- integrating controls and components with VS.NET
- the VS.NET automation object model
- macros and add-ins
- custom wizards
- the Visual Studio Integration Program (VSIP)
If you're serious about using the VS.NET toolkit, you'll
want a book of this magnitude close by. Mastering Visual
Studio .NET will take you beyond what you'll read in
the standard documentation by offering hints and
recommendations that the authors and the community at large
have found to be useful after many years of experience.
