Customize the intrinsic controls in the .NET Framework—or build your own—for better usability
Every click on a menu item or a dialog box—every interaction with a control—shapes the user's experience and satisfaction with your software. Learn how to maximize the usability and impact of your Visual Basic .NET–based solutions by using the powerful intrinsic controls in the .NET Framework right out of the box—or by building complex controls from scratch. Expert developer and teacher John Connell shares a wealth of code samples and techniques to illustrate how .NET controls operate as well as how to integrate even the most complex controls into Windows Forms and Microsoft ASP.NET Web Forms. Whether you're developing in-house or commercial software, you'll learn how to build custom controls and other interface components that make your programs easy—and enjoyable—to use.
- Discover how to use encryption technologies, isolated storage, and serialization in the .NET Framework in your own programs and controls
