Disappointment
Unfortunately, this book isn't near as good as Dan's previous VB6 Reference. A truly useful .NET framework reference can't be squeezed into 400 pages, that's a fatal flaw. A reference book DOES NOT have to mean small, it has to mean easy to find information. This book should have had more example code, yes, which would have added more pages, perhaps 100 or so. SO WHAT! Again, reference means easy to find, not concise to the point of barely helpful. On the other hand, the book does discuss a few topics well, so I gave it three stars.
