Dissapointed October 28, 2008
I have been working with Excel VBA development for a number of years now and have a wide range of books covering the subject; some of these are good and some not so good. I bought this particular book as I wanted to know more about integrating the new .Net platform and the Excel Object model. My aim was to move up from the VB6 addins etc that I have been building in the past and make the transition to .NET.
Let me say that as an all round reference for Excel there is plenty of information in here and if you do not have a bookshelf full of Excel VBA books then this would probably be a good purchase. The format is very readable and there is a wealth of information for a 'newbie' Excel VBA programmer. Although, I think that allot of the details this book covers have already been offered from Bovey, ET all in the 'Professional Excel Development' book published by Addison Wesley.
The issue I have is that the title of this book is very misleading. The title is 'programming Excel with VBA & .NET'; I do not think that the content of this book warrants this title. I was very disappointed to see that of the 1016 pages in this book (excluding appendixes) there are only 37 pages dedicated to .net, I wish I had investigated further before my purchase. The uses for the .Net platform with regard to Excel appear very limited and since looking at the options in this book (which are very few) I am tempted to say that the most reliable method of robust system programming against the Excel Object model is probably C++. As an intro to this I would recommend ditching the VB.Net idea and heading for 'Financial Applications Using Excel Add-in Development in C/C++, 2nd Edition' by Steve Dalton which is an excellent book with a better approach for extending addins etc for Excel.
Excel VBA and .NET? Don't bother
Excel VBA and some .NET - as a newbie reference? Maybe.....
