Paul Vick, the father of Visual Basic .NET, explains the whys and hows of this exciting new language better than any other human being on the planet.\"--Ted Pattison, Barracuda.NET \" The Visual Basic .NET Programming Language includes nuances that in all my use and study of VB .NET, I haven't seen discussed anywhere else.
