Maximize the effectiveness and impact of the user interface in your Visual Basic .NET-based applications-and give your products a competitive edge-with the expert, hands-on guidance and real-world examples of senior developer/CIO John Connell. When users click on a menu item or a button in a dialog box, they’re using a contro-and every interaction with a control can shape their overall experience and satisfaction with your software. This hands-on guide teaches you how to use or modify the built-in, intrinsic controls provided by the Microsoft .NET Framework for your own applications-as well as how to build new controls from scratch-to deliver the most appropriate and efficient functionality for your audience. The author uses code samples built with Microsoft Visual Basic .NET 2003 to illustrate how controls operate and how to add and arrange them on a Windows® Form or Microsoft ASP.NET Web Form. You’ll learn how to manipulate controls for specific needs, as well as how to write your own custom controls to create the richest user experience. All the book’s code is available online for reuse in your own applications.
