2.0 out of 5 stars Don't bother
This is a total waste of paper. Save the forrest, do not print books like that!
Most of the stuff from this book can be easily found on the net. And also the book does not cover most of the topics. There is not a single part of the book that describes well any of the .NET concepts

You don't loose time and you don't have to read from the beginning of the book to understand. You can read directly only the chapter you need.

You don't have to read useless comment or sentence which bring you no practical skill. This book explain really only what you need .
And you can adapte the example of the book to your need.
This book is more clear and efficient than "VB.NET" Professional of the Wrox Team.

In conclusion, this book is made in a way that you can understand fast and well. This is good and practical book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Where's the errata sheet or web address?, June 9, 2002
This review is from: Visual Basic .NET Database Programming for Dummies (Paperback)
I'm a beginner and already have hit errors on page 47:
Start>Programs>MS SQL server>Configure SQL XML support in IIS

My computer yield the following:
Start>Programs>MS SQL server>
>Books online
>Client network utility
>Enterprise manager
>Import and export data
>Profiler
>Query analyzer
>Readme.txt
>Server netowrk utility
>Service manager
>Uninstall SQL server 7.0

There is no mention of Configure XML support in IIS!

I'm tired of buying books with sloppy technical editing. Oh, to read just one book on VB .net that didn't have an error in the first 50 pages.
