Dot Net Stuff simply does not work.


Examples do not compile.


References in example code are no where to be found.


To be fair I already knew how to Subclass in VB6 and was looking for a guide to migrating to VB.NET


Only considered chapters that were specific to dot net. Seems like the concepts are OK but example code does not work. Thus my opinion is that this is mostly words without substance because the author does not prove them with working examples in VB. No mention in the errata about these glaring errors.


If you are like me and have mounds of existing subclassing code for VB6, have mastered the techniques involved, and are looking for some samples to get you started in VB .NET, this book is NOT for you.


Look elsewhere.
