Favourite Visual Studio .NET book
-
Developing Applications with Visual Studio .NET by grimes is a good book http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0201708523/104-8668826-2342309?vi=glance[^] haven't looked at any other "Visual Studio .NET" books... well.. Looked at C# books, .NET framework books... but not many on using VS.NET... but grimes is a very good book on how to us the IDE.. aimed at VS.NET 2002 though. [edit]http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1886411697/ref=pd_sim_books_2/104-8668826-2342309?v=glance&s=books[^] .. Just saw this now. looks ok... but once again.. VS.NET 2002 :((] Regards, Brian Dela :-)

Not really a Visual Studio .Net book though. It's more of a C# book. Regards, Brian Dela :-)

That's right - I've decided to find out what this new fangled "dot net" thing is people are talking about. I figure if I buy a book on Friday night and have a play around I should be able to get the site moved over by Saturday night. I just don't understand what all the talk about that C-pound stuff is though. cheers, Chris Maunder

What exactly does a book on Visual Studio .NET cover? How to use the IDE, the built in tools, using the Server Explorer and the Wizard bits? Or does it also venture into the .NET Framework, and if so then how in depth and how does it choose, especially with .NET, the language for the samples? I just find books on IDEs like Visual Studio a bit strange. I fully understand a book on an IDE like Power Builder because the IDE is pretty much the whole of Power Builder anyway. I guess another question from this is; Just how much of VS.NET do you actually use? I reckon I don't use very much of it. Syntax Highlighting, Project/Solution Explorer, Intellisense and Debugging is about it. About the only one of those which an IDE book could help me out with is the Debugger. Is there enough arcane and hard to come buy knowledge on VS.NET to justify a book? And if so then why wasn't it in the IDE manual? I am just curious, as always :)

You obviously haven't read Tom Archer's Inside C#.

I don't use much of it either...the Class browser only comes in handy when I'm too lazy to open Reflector. The Dynamic Help usually gets tucked away in its corner...and external help is only open when I'm investigating new stuff. (Like System.DirectoryServices X|) The immediate window and the watch/locals window are my two main debugging tools. Since I work with SQL Server a lot, I'm always referring to the Server Explorer. Oh, and I have the outlining keyboard shortcuts memorized. Long live #region!

Grrr...I still have to use Enterprise Manager for some things...but mostly I just use the Server Explorer. Things are really supposed to integrate a lot better with Yukon/Whidbey. :jig:
