Doing Objects In Visual Basic 2005

Doing Objects in Visual Basic 2005 is the authoritative guide to object-oriented design, architecture, and development with Visual Basic 2005. Author Deborah Kurata is the original pioneer in building object-oriented applications with Visual Basic. In this book she continues to offer clarity and deliver best practices for using object-oriented techniques in Visual Basic 2005. She has been honored with Microsoft’s prestigious MVP designation for her expertise and contributions to the community. Kurata begins with a concise introduction to core object-oriented concepts and the Visual Basic 2005 features that support them. Next she introduces a pragmatic and agile approach to designing effective applications along with an application framework. From there she walks you through the process of building the user interface, business logic, and data access layers of an application, highlighting key VB 2005 techniques and best practices. Kurata’s step-by-step “building along” activities provide you with deep hands-on mastery; your finished application can serve as the starting point for virtually any custom project. This book Shows how the tools in Visual Studio 2005 combined with a solid object-oriented approach can help minimize the complexities of software development and improve productivity Clearly explains the fundamental concepts of object development: classes, inheritance, interfaces, scenarios, and more Presents a pragmatic agile software design methodology to help analyze and design applications for the real world Covers building the user interface layer using a base form class, programmatic interfaces, and object binding Details building the business logic layer using a base business object class and validation rules Demonstrates how to build the data access layer using ADO.NET Provides best practices and tips for experienced .NET developers, those new to .NET, and for those developers moving from VB6 to .NET

"Doing Objects in Visual Basic 2005 is one of the few books that I've seen that lays the proper object-oriented foundation to make new Visual Basic.NET developers as well as VB6 veterans successful in moving to the .NET Framework."--Paul Ballard, President, Rochester Consulting Partnership, Inc. "Deborah Kurata's Doing Objects in Visual Basic 2005 is salvation for every programmer beached on the forbidding isle of .NET object-oriented programming. 'Right this way, ' she says, leading you confidently into that vaguely menacing interior. Step follows step. Suddenly the daunting and unfamiliar become doable and commonplace. You're productive again. My goodness, you're actually enjoying yourself!" -Ward Bell, V.P., Product Management, IdeaBlade, Inc. "When is comes to advice on programming objects in Visual Basic, nobody could be better qualified than Deborah Kurata. She's been doing Doing Objects since VB4, and she doesn't let us down as we move our classic VB code to the Microsoft.NET platform. From initial analysis and design, through to the final implementation, you'll find everything you need here to take on the Visual Basic 2005 development environment. This book is a must have for every VB.NET developer!" -Kel Good, MCT, MCITP, MCPD, Custom Software Development Inc., (www.customsoftware.ca) "I've long been frustrated that I couldn't recommend a book on object-oriented fundamentals in .NET. Sure, there were plenty of books on OO syntax. But what good is explanation of syntax if you don't already understand the concepts? At last, we have the successor to the Doing Objects series for classic VB, from which so many of us learned how to think about objects and object design, completely rewritten for .NET. If you're a VB 2005 developer who needs to add object orientation to your skill set, this is the book you need." -Billy Hollis, author/consultant, Next Version Systems "Deborah Kurata does her Doing Objects thing again! This is the newest book from Deborah which has been completely rewritten from the ground up for the Visual Basic .Net 2005 developer. Anyone needing a solid foundation in object technology, Visual Basic .Net 2005, and Visual Studio .Net 2005 should read this book. Deborah's presentation of core topics such as class design, object state management, exception handling, events, data binding, validation, data access techniques, and many others is clear, concise, and direct. The clarity of the content, coupled with the hands-on examp ...

Michael McMillan provides a complete presentation of the object-oriented features of the Visual Basic .NET language for advanced Visual Basic programmers. Beginning with an introduction to abstract data types and their initial implementation using structures, he explains standard OOP topics including class design, inheritance, access modifiers and scoping issues, abstract classes, design and implemention of interfaces and design patterns, and refactoring in VB.NET. More advanced OOP topics are included as well, such as reflection, object persistence, and serialization. To tie everything together, McMillan demonstrates sound OOP design and implementation principles through practical examples of standard Windows applications, database applications using ADO.NET, Web-based applications using ASP.NET, and Windows service applications.

The primary goal of Doing Objects in Visual Basic is to provide a pragmatic approach to designing and building Visual Basic 4.0 applications. Instead of providing "tips and tricks", this book lays out a framework for development in VB 4.0 with an emphasis on architecture design and approach. The disk provides applications developed in the book and a useful template.

A programmer's complete guide to Visual Basic .NET. Starting with a sample application and a high-level map, the book jumps right into showing how the parts of .NET fit with Visual Basic .NET. Topics include the common language runtime, Windows Forms, ASP.NET, Web Forms, Web Services, and ADO.NET.

Dan Clark shows beginning VB.NET programmers how one goes about architecting an object oriented programming solution aimed at solving a business problem.

* Takes the reader completely through all stages of a programming project, including analysis, modeling, and development using object-oriented programming techniques and VB.NET. * VB.NET students and followers need a comprehensive resource to correct coding procedures. * This is a core trade area (careers begin here!) with large potential sales. There is a growing and strong following for VB.NET and a market for students and procedural programmers moving to OO-programming.

As the title suggests, this book has two separate - though intertwined - goals: a description of the general concepts of object-orientation, and how to do object-oriented programming in Visual Basic. Readers are assumed to have no more than a familiarity with Visual Basic and some rudimentary knowledge of programming. Working on this premise, Steve Roman introduces the abstract concepts of object orientation, such as class, abstraction, and encapsulation, and then shows how each is implemented in a meaningful and useful application. He uses a hands-on style throughout: plenty of code is given and discussed, including error-handling. As a result, Visual Basic programmers and students will find this an invaluable introduction to the topic.
