Visual Basic(r).NET: The Complete Reference Review by David W. Wood
Code Download Corrections
I'm still trying to catch up with the "rest of the gang" so this review is later than the others.
It is a very good book in applying computer science knowledge like data structures to .NET. I have seen better explanations of interfaces in other books: for example, Deborah Kurata's "Doing Objects in Visual Basic 6", Jesse Liberty's "Programming C#", and the classic on C#, Grant Palmer's "C# Programmer's Reference".
Regarding the downloaded code, I found it to be much better than most. I corrected 5 problems: 1. A "Shuttles" dll had to be created so "ShuttlesInjectorUI" would work (make sure the reference for this is set correctly, also). 2. "Math" didn't have a module, which I created from the book (though the two formulas for area mystify me: correct formula, area = pi * radius **2). 3. The reference to "vb7cr" in "Nodals" had to be corrected in the project properties. 4. The "BaseTree" module was in the appropriate directory, but had to be added to the "Nodals" project. 5. The "protected" access modifier for "StopInjector" in "Shuttles" had to be changed to "public".
