Avoid this book like the plague!
Unless they have come out with a new edition that throws out 80% of the original edition, this book is so badly written and has so many egregious errors that it might take you weeks to unlearn all the wrong stuff it teaches you.It was written by many authors, and it shows. A few parts have good content and actually teach worthwhile stuff. But for the most part the chapters either (a) just echo the online documentaion, telling you that you can change the font by applying the font property [doh!], (b) attempt to explain a complex topic in a dozen paragraphs, and so you learn nothing useful, or (c) are just plain flat wrong. I don't have time to go into all the errors I found. The book is so bad that I couldn't even consider donating it to any charitable drive. It's now being used for starting fires in our fireplace. Come to think of it, that might be the best use for it.

Nice but..... lack in content
Ok, it's a nice book. But it lacks in code examples, (i.e., lots of methods and properties, but not codes). It really shows you the new features of the .Net Framework, but sometimes the book is boring... Instead of teaching you what things are used for, it just shows you other informations, in a deep manner, but not the code by itself. Anyways, it's on my reference library, but if you want to learn .Net by other ways, like practicing with codes, I suggest you to look for other books.

Comprehensive and well written.
This book, although it doesn't include enough code, is the best VB .NET book I've come across so far. Well written, easy to understand, and concise. Enough said.
