Intended for experienced Access database developers familiar with Visual Basic for Applications, the 170 tips provided in this book suggest advanced approaches to user interface and programming tasks, such as queries, reports, optimization, multi-user applications, Windows APIs, and automation. The second edition adds four chapters on SharePoint, smart tags, Microsoft .NET, and XML. The CD-ROM contains Access databases. Annotation © 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Not a reference book, and not a tutorial either, the new second edition of the highly regarded Access Cookbook is an uncommonly useful collection of solutions to problems that Access users and developers are likely to face as they attempt to build increasingly complex applications. Although using any single "recipe" in the book will more than pay back the cost of the book in terms of both hours saved and frustration thwarted, Access Cookbook, Second Edition is much more than a handy assortment of cut-and-paste code. Each of the "recipes" examine a particular problem--problems that commonly occur when you push the upper limits of Access, or ones that are likely to trip up a developer attempting to design a more elegant Access application--even some things you never knew Access could do. The authors then, in a clear, accessible, step-by-step style, present the problems' solution. Following each "recipe" are insights on how Access works, potential pitfalls, interesting programming techniques that are used in the solution, and how and why the solution works, so you can adapt the problem-solving techniques to other similar situations.Fully updated for Access 2003, Access Cookbook, Second Edition is also one of the first books to thoroughly explore new support for .NET managed code and XML. All of the practical, real-world examples have been tested for compatibility with Access 2003, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003. This updated new edition also covers Access and SharePoint, Access and SmartTags, Access and .NET; and Access and XML. Access power users and programmers at all levels, from the relatively inexperienced to the most sophisticated, will rely on the Access Cookbook for quick solutions to gnarly problems. With a dog-eared copy of Access Cookbook at your side, you can spend your time and energy where it matters most: working on the interesting facets of your Access application, not just the time-consuming ones.

Este libro proporciona un análisis sincero del marco de trabajo .NET y de VB.NET que ayuda a pasar del '¿Cómo podría hacer ...?' a lo que a mí me gusta llamar 'pensar en .NET'.'Pensar en .NET' significa tener los siguientes tres conceptos en la cabeza a la hora de abordar los problemas de programación de aplicaciones Web:§ Es 'VB para la Web', es decir, está basado en objetos. El código establece propiedades y llama a funciones sobre objetos - controles, clases o nuestros propios objetos de negocio. Y, normalmente, nuestro código corre sobre un evento de otro objeto, por ejemplo el evento de página Load.§ Si se puede, emplearemos el código de otras personas. ASP.NET es totalmente modular, de modo que hay que ver si hay código (una librería de clase, un control de servidor, un fragmento) en el Framework, en otra aplicación o en el mercado, que haga exactamente lo que necesitamos. A menudo existe.Mejor que conocer la respuesta es saber dónde encontrarla. Se puede ser perfectamente eficaz conociendo tan solo los controles y clases que normalmente se necesitan para nuestros proyectos. Si la aplicación necesita nuevas capacidades, se pueden buscar justo en ese momento navegando en las clases reutilizables del Framework.
