Microsoft Visual Basic .NET Programmer's Cookbook (Pro-Developer)

Finally, a book with one-stop shopping for VB.NET! I’ve read several cookbook-style programming titles in the past, and I was pleasantly surprised to find this has much more depth than I expected. It can’t cover everything (.NET is huge), but every time I pick the book up I learn something new. There are so many highlights–just browse through the table of contents and you’ll see what I mean!
Here are some of my favorites:
* Send keystrokes to another app
* Create a thread-safe control wrapper
* Great data-binding tips (image-to-picture box, etc.)
* Factory, Registry, Singleton, Memento, and Lazy Initialization patterns
* POP3, FTP, and Ping classes in the networking section
* How to change a password into a salted hash for storage in a database
* Use ZIP and PDF files (disclaimer: some third-party code is required, although it’s free)
* Manage print jobs that are underway
* Get Windows accounts and roles
* Do hit testing with custom graphics
* Defend against SQL injection
* Dynamically generate an ASP.NET graphic
* Add ASP.NET controls on the fly
* MAPI and MCI (unfortunately, just through the ActiveX controls)
* Upload binary data with a web service
* Use a web service in VB 6

Kudos to Rupert Sheldrake whose reputation and scientific endeavors precede and comply with him.
TED has indeed misplaced their credibility for visionary advertising.

I hope some degree headed scientists will take up the
challenge to explore deeper beyond "constants".

the U.S. government has always experienced a very good system especially within the field of English language schooling, because English is a second language other
than their mother tongue. English language is so important in all areas of schooling
and the support from the American government is expected in
developing countries such as Cambodia and other Asian countries.

we hope the USA can function together like this
to other countries in Southeast Asia such as Indonesia.
