Visual Developer Creating ActiveX Controls with Visual Basic 5: The Comprehensive Guide for Creating Powerful Web Controls

Rating:
Summary: Serious VB folks look elsewhere
Review: I found the book to be written more for someone with little or no VB experience, coming from a C++ enviroment. I got no more from the book than from the VB online help and a little web searching turned up. A "use the wizards and learn C++ if you want to be a professional programmer" attitude prevails. Check out Dan Applemans ActiveX with VB5 book for a more robust tome.

Summary: A good book for those who want fast results
Review: I found this book to be an excellent introduction to how to make VB ActiveX controls. Unlike a lot of books, it covers special Internet topics and doesn't get bogged down in a lot of details that aren't important. However, the details that are important (like what really happens in the registry, for example) are well explained.

I've used many of the substantial examples as a basis for my own controls with great success.
