A few weeks back i had got this book on “.NET Windows Development Everyday Tips , Tricks and Optimization” written by Ablerto Poblacion and published by krasis PRESS .
The Book is some where less than 250 pages and dont underestimate the content of the book with the number of pages . You will find the Quality content with good .NET tricks especially useful for the Windows Developers .
The book covers some of the Tips, Tricks and Optimization techniques for Visual Studio 2005, Visual Studio 2008 , Visual Studio 2010 and the new features of Windows 7.
The Book attempts at providing solutions for some of the day to day or common problems faced by Windows Developers .
Some of the contents in the books that i found interesting were .
- Importing large amounts of data

- Ensuring that a form is only opened once
- Never forget to close your open Connections
- Complex Resizable forms
