Inside Microsoft Visual Studio NET 2003
The following report compares books using the SERCount Rating (base on the result count from the search engine).
Rating: 4/5 from 4 reviews Exactly what you need to automate or extend VS.NETAll the tools in just one place. Title is misleadingThe title of this book should have been ".NET Add-in's and Macros" instead of "Inside Visual Studio .NET". I wonder how many people have been misled thinking they were getting a book on how to use the IDE. In fact the first few chapters seem to indicate this confusingly! Great Macro and Add-in ResourceThis book is gold if you want to write macros or add-ins for Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003. It starts with the basics for writing macros in Visual BASIC .NET and gradually leads to writing full-blown add-ins in C#. My only complaint of this book is that it seems to lean rather heavily towards VB.NET and most of the examples are in VB.NET unless they absolutely have to be shown in C#. For example, when covering features that you really would only want to do in an add-in, the code snippets showing how to carryout certain tasks are shown in VB.NET. Converting from VB.NET to C# isn't too hard for a veteran programmer, but there are some pitfalls that can be time consuming. But all in all, a great resource if you want to unleash the full power of Visual Studio via macros or add-ins. | ||||||||||||||||||||
