This book ".NET Architecture and Programming Using Visual C++" gives an innovative dimension of realistic approach to building Windows and Web system with the power of Visual C++.

This is a great book, perhaps the best on Visual C++ .Net I've ever read. Very clear, covers many interesting and new topics.
Since there are not many books on VC++ .Net, and most of the .Net books cover C# and/or VB, this is really a must for any C++ developer who would like to move to C++ .Net.

I agree 100% with dc man2002 review. As an experienced/professional VC++ developer, I found this book completely useless as a reference to VC++ .Net. The book claims to cover UI development in VC++ .Net, but I don't think the acronym MFC was mentioned once in the book. I was looking more for something that would cover the new aspects of VC++ with a smooth transistion from 6.0 to .Net. I found myself starting to skip pages, then chapters, trying to find something to make the connection. I started to wonder if the author had ever written a VC++ 6.0 application. After reading a section about UI development that said something to the effect "You'd be better off doing this in C#", I was almost positive he hadn't. This book would be accurately titled ".Net Managed C++ Extensions."
