Customer Reviews

Excellent. One of the best books from MS Press.

This is an excellent presentation of using Visual Basic for ActiveX Components and Controls.

A Visual Basic Developer's Bible

The Eddon boys clearly define the essence of VB development. You can literally pick this book up and read it from cover to cover or reference specific topics for review. The Eddons' provide a clear discussion of Microsoft's ActiveX approach as it relates to VB and VB related Web development (ASP, VBScript, and IIS). This book is not bogged down in endless code examples that have little significance to development efforts. It is a verbose descriptive book emphasizing theory and comprehension, sprinkled with precise examples that are easily understood and duplicated. Hands down this is the best book I have found on VB ActiveX and the Web.

This Book Was GREAT!

This book is a must for people that want TONS of code examples, learn how to build ASP pages, and more..But the biggest feature, you will learn how to make your own ACTIVEX Controls! I would recommend this book, for anyone who wants to have the apps support the intellimouse (Source with code included) and other neat stuff. The code projects are WONDERFUL. Also comes with Visual Basic Control Creation Edition! Also comes with a whole bunch of other neat programs that allow you to make ActiveX stuff, like ActiveX SDK, and lots of other stuff...But I would get this book if you have the money! Its a good reference, and a fun book to read through. Have Fun!

This book opened my eyes to VB and ActiveX

Before reading this book, I never quite understood where the COM and ActiveX technologies fit in with Visual Basic. This book is well written and clearly explains the inner workings of where VB meets ActiveX.

This book provides an excellent explanation of ActiveX.

This book shows how you can use Visual Basic to build ActiveX controls and components that can be used in VB, Internet Browsers and Active Server Pages. Clearly written coded examples, easily implemented and understood.
