need a good book on Visual Studio IDE

Question

User1005100076 posted

I need a good book on the Visual Studio development environment that explains the project and solution files.  Would be nice if it also contained information on Visual SourceSafe and Visual Studio working together. 

would also be great if it explained both vs 2003 and vs 2005 but that would probably be asking too much.[*-)]

Have a look at Professional Visual Studio 2005. I have a subscription to Books 24x7 and found it to be pretty thorough. Heres a link to it on Amazon, but you might want to go to a local BN or Borders Books and browse through it and see what you think first. I would recommending it to your list though.

You might check out this book on Visual Studios: http://www.amazon.com/dp/0596008473?&camp=212361&creative=380789&linkCode=wsw&tag=computerprogrammingbooks-20 from what I could see it looks like it might meet your needs for covering Solution Files and working with Visual Studio and SourceSafe.

Hope this helps - good luck!
