Building Client/Server Applications with VB .NET: An Example-Driven Approach is based on Release 1.0 of the .NET Framework / Release 1.0 of Visual Studio .NET + .NET Framework Service Pack 1. Jeff Levinson walks readers through how to write a complete application—no “snippets” of code—and will show readers examples of how, when, and why to perform a task. Building Client/Server Applications with VB .NET: An Example-Driven Approach is the manual on software development for enterprise application development.

From the reviews:

"Oh no, not another book on client/server! But this one is different. … Starting from the theoretical beginnings, it describes how to set up the IIS web server and what exactly it is you are trying to achieve. … A good book if you want a real example of Client/Server architecture in action." (Ian Elliot, VSJ – Visual Systems Journal, May, 2004)
