Customer Reviews

It is what you would expect from a language reference

This book is a compilation of various functions and commands available to the VisualBasic 5 environment. It provides examples and supplimental information to help users with different levels of expertise.Recommended if you want to really program in VB 5.0.

A must-have for VB programmers

This reference book is a mirror image of the online help, but a lot more convenient. It contains pretty much all you need to know...and unlike the majority of tutorial books out there, the example code actually works.

This book is invaluable

How can you not love the VB5 Language Reference.I teach VB for a living, and I tell my students to re-read this Reference guide every 3 months---there's always something new that you'll see in it.Others will tell you that this information is provided with Books Online (and it is), but I prefer the printed version.

A Staple In My Reference Library

Though you can get the exact same information online, I find that sometimes it's just better to have the hard copy in front of me. The book does a good job of not only showing the syntax, but what arguments to use and situations where the item applies. It's proven to be very, very useful and people would do well to pick this up if they prefer to use hard copy as I do.

This book is a great source for commands and code layout.

I found this book to be helpful with my everyday programming. This book contains example code for every command in it. This bok also gives you the correct arguments for each command. I find this book to be one of my best developement tools in my arsenal. I recommend this book strongly to anyone looking to do serious VB programming.
