Hi,
I just bought the book thinking that the code would work for VB NET 2005 (beta) that is now out. Guess what, it doesn't compile, at least not the examples in Chapter 23 on Messaging, Sockets, and Threads. Guess I'll have to go back to VB 2003, but many of the code functions listed in the book are deprecated in the error messages I am getting in VB 2005, meaning that you'll spend a lot of time learning stuff that won't be used, at all, in VB 2005.

Thank you Microsoft for breaking your software, yet again.
