Microsoft Visual Studio .NET is a pivotal product in the history of programming tools, since it brings together multiple languages that can interoperate in the Microsoft .NET Framework. This title offers an in-depth examination of the architecture of Microsoft Visual Studio .NET to help professional developers get the most out of its capabilities. It drills down into the Visual Studio .NET integrated development environment (IDE), code editors, application design, and project management tools. It also covers features that allow developers to use Visual Studio .NET with their favorite programming tools. By the end of this book, developers will understand what Visual Studio .NET is and how and why it works as it does, learn how to maximize their productivity with it, and know how to customize its tools and environment to suit the projects at hand.

3.0 out of 5 stars Title is misleading

The title of this book should have been ".NET Add-in's and Macros" instead of "Inside Visual Studio .NET". I wonder how many people have been misled thinking they were getting a book on how to use the IDE. In fact the first few chapters seem to indicate this confusingly!

2.0 out of 5 stars Weak Examples, Not Much Meat
Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2007

This book may have some content that is hard to find anywhere else but overall it was a big disappointment for me. I was looking for some real insight in how to write effective macros for manipulating text and this book only had 1 chapter on "the code model." The chapter was devoid of any decent example of using the TextSelection object.

I also didn't like the fact that the 3 author approach was so obvious. Some examples were in VB and some in C#. You would think they'd write the whole book in 1 language. I don't care which one but pick one. Since macros have to be written in VB.Net you'd think the whole book would have been in VB.Net.

This one missed the mark for me.

This book does a good job of filling in the holes the online help leaves when it comes to the autmoation object model. I found ti very helpful. Much better than the other Micorsoft Press books I've purchased.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good overview of Visual Studio .NET extensibility
Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2003
I thought this book had a well-balanced overview of .NET extensibility, and about Visual Studio .NET in general. This book would be useful for anyone that is thinking about developing macros, add-in, or using the VSIP interfaces (although it there is little detail about VSIP since VSIP interfaces were relatively inaccessible at the time this was written).
It would also be of interest to developers that use Visual Studio .NET, and are interested in digging a little deeper to understand more about how this tool works.

1.0 out of 5 stars Probably the most frustrating and poorly informative book I've ever read
Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2005
Title pretty much says it all. For each item covered the coverage is peurile and sparse. Each example tantalises you with lore, only to keep most of it hidden inside the authors' brains.

Admittedly attempting to document the dog's breakfast that is Visual Studio was always going to be an impossible task, but I think the authors have managed to fail to live up to even that low ceiling. DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK!
