Visual basic.net class design handbook (WROX PRESS)

Since the announcement of Visual Basic.NET, a lot has been made of its powerful new object-oriented features. However, very little discussion has been devoted to the practice of object-oriented programming at its most fundamental level - that is, building classes. The truth is, whatever code you write in Visual Basic.NET, you are writing classes that fall within the class hierarchy of the.NET Framework. Visual Basic.NET Class Design Handbook was conceived as a guide to help you design these classes effectively, żeby looking at what control we have over our classes, and how Visual Basic.NET turns our class definitions into executable code. §This book will give you a deep and thorough understanding of the implications of all the decisions you can make in designing a class, so you are equipped to develop classes that are robust, flexible and reusable. In short, this book will take you from a theoretical understanding of the basic principles of OO programming to the ability to write well-designed classes in actual applications.
