Special Edition Using Visual C++.NET is a comprehensive resource to help readers leverage the exciting new features of Visual C++.NET as well as port their existing skills to the new .NET development environment. The book shows how both Win32 and .NET applications work, not only instructing the reader in the use of Microsoft's Visual C++ wizards, but also showing what the wizards create. A variety of programming tasks from simple dialog boxes to database and Internet programming are included. Because of the new .NET platform developers in any of 17 languages (including Visual C++) will use the same class libraries to construct high-performance applications. SE Using Visual C++.NET will not only cover the new version of the software but also how to get maximum programming results from combining several languages into one project.
