El lanzamiento de la plataforma .NET de Microsoft viene acompañado de una nueva versión de Visual Basic que difiere sustancialmente de versiones anteriores. Además de mejorar muchas características (como el soporte para herencia), VB .NET se ha simplificado y modificado para funcionar con el .NET Framework. Son tantos los cambios que algunos programadores de VB consideran a VB.NET como un lenguaje enteramente nuevo. En El lenguaje VB .NET encontrara toda la documentacion sobre dicho lenguaje, incluyendo la totalidad de sus elementos linguisticos. El libro se divide en tres partes. La primera parte, es una introduccion a las principales caracteristicas y conceptos de la programacion con Visual Basic. Dado el caracter novedoso de VB .NET, hasta los mas experimentados profesionales de VB hallaran aqui informacion de interes. En la segunda parte, se detallan todas las funciones, instrucciones, objetos y miembros de objetos que componen el lenguaje VB .NET. La tercera y ultima esta formada por los apendices.En definitiva, el lenguaje de VB .NET es el manual de referencia definitivo para los desarrolladores de VB .NET.

In the tradition of JAVA IN A NUTSHELL, this book boils down the essentials of VB and VBA, including undocumented areas essential to everyday programming, into a single volume. The convenient alphabetical reference to all functions, statements, keywords, objects, properties, and methods allows Visual Basic and VBA programmers to find exactly what they're looking for in not time at all.

Paul Lomax, Ron Petrusha, Matt ChildsMicrosoft's Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript), a subset of Visual Basic for Applications, is a powerful language for Internet application development where it can serve as a scripting language for server-side Internet applications (i.e., Active Server Pages), and client-side Web pages. It can also be used for system scripting (i.e., Windows Script Host scripts) and programming Outlook forms. The majority of this book consists of a VBScript language reference, which contains all VBScript statements, keywords and objects. This alphabetical language reference will provide the following details: The syntax, using standard code conventions A list of arguments accepted by the function or procedure, if any exist A description of the data returned by a function A discussion of how and where the keyword should be used within the scripting environment A section of notes and solutions to real-world gotchas, and various undocumented behaviors and aspects of the language that help the reader avoid potential problems A section that focuses on the differences between the language element in VBA and in VBScript A brief example to illustrate the use of the keyword A cross-reference to other keywords This focus on VBScript language essentials is supplemented by a wealth of additional information about VBScript, including: Basic language information on VBScript data types, constants, variables, and arrays The difference between VBScript, on the one hand, and VBA or JavaScript, on the other The use of the MSIE, Active Server, Outlook, and Windows Script Host object models to interface a script with the application it'scontrolling Tables listing VBScript functions and statements by category The version-specific features of VBScript Regardless of the types of scripts you're using VBScript to create, VBScript in a Nutshell is the only book you'll need by your side as a complete and easy-to-use language reference.
