About this book

The old hacker adage “Garbage in, garbage out” has never been so important as it is today. With ever-increasing amounts of information flowing into and out of modern applications, the task of an application developer to control and verify information is critically important to any software project.

For the first time, Data Entry and Validation with C# and VB .NET Windows Forms brings together current knowledge on this subject in an understandable, easy-to-read form. Covering development and best practices for data entry and validation, including GDI+, custom controls, localization, accessibility, proper data validation techniques, and best practices with Visual Basic and C#, Data Entry and Validation with C# and VB .NET Windows Forms is a book no modern programmer should be without.

About the author

Nick Symmonds works for the Integrated System Solutions division of Ingersoll-Rand, developing and integrating security software. He started his professional life as an electronics technician. While getting his bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from the University of Hartford, he started to gravitate toward programming. Nick has spent quite a few years programming in assembly, C, C++, and Visual Basic. Recently, he has latched onto .NET like a lamprey and loves digging into the .NET core. Nick has written several articles on programming and has three books out: Internationalization and Localization Using Microsoft .NET (Apress, 2002), GDI+ Programming in C# and VB .NET (Apress, 2002), and Data Entry and Validation with C# and VB .NET Windows Forms (Apress, 2003). He lives with his family in the northwest hills of Connecticut and has recently become addicted to golf and road cycling. He also enjoys woodworking, hiking, and exploring the hills on his motorcycle.
