What You Need to Use This Book
To make the best use of this book, you'll need the
following ingredients: Windows 2000 Professional,
Windows XP, or Windows Server 2003.Visual Studio 2005.
Alternatively, you can use a scaled-down Visual Studio version, but
you won't be able to complete all the labs. For
example, Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition allows you to build
Windows applications, console applications, and DLL components (but
not web applications), and Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition
allows you to build only web applications.In addition, if you want to
run the database examples in Chapter 5 without
any changes, you'll need SQL Server 7.0 or later
with the sample Northwind database. SQL Server Express will also work
fine.
Because Visual Basic 2005 is currently in a beta cycle,
it's inevitable that there will be some changes to
the product after this book is printed. (In rare cases, entire
features have disappeared from one build to the next!) As a result,
it's possible that some recipes may not work as
written. Usually, the difference is simply syntactic, such as a minor
renaming of a property, constant, or method, or a reshuffling of a
class from one namespace to another. Occasionally, a feature changes
more dramatically, and significant code revisions are needed. To help
manage the confusion, refer to http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/vbadn to
download the latest sample code, which is updated regularly to keep
in step with newer builds. As an early adopter, you already know that
working with beta versions is awkward, frustrating, and more than a
little exciting. But all in all, it's a small price
to pay for getting an advance seat to see the changes to Visual Basic
and the .NET platform!
