Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
This thick reference contains the full set of Visual Basic 5.0 documentation, including docs for Visual Basic for Applications. It's essentially a dump of the online documentation available in the Visual Basic (VB) 5.0 integrated development environment (IDE). Although most people will prefer to use the IDE's hypertext version when they're coding, this book does have real value. When you're trying to cram your head full of the thousands of properties, methods, and functions available in VB and its standard VB objects, it's so much easier to sit in a comfortable chair with this sturdy volume.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A must-have for VB programmers,
By A Customer
This review is from: Microsoft Visual Basic 5.0 Language Reference (Microsoft Visual Basic 5.0 Reference Library) (v. 1) (Paperback)
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,
By A Customer
This review is from: Microsoft Visual Basic 5.0 Language Reference (Microsoft Visual Basic 5.0 Reference Library) (v. 1) (Paperback)
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,
By A Customer
This review is from: Microsoft Visual Basic 5.0 Language Reference (Microsoft Visual Basic 5.0 Reference Library) (v. 1) (Paperback)
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.
