What Makes These Topics Advanced?

I placed these topics together in this chapter for two reasons: Visual Basic 6.0 developers use them less frequently, and covering them in detail would take more room than is available. Regardless, a quick introduction now will save you a lot of trouble if you need to work within any of these areas in your Visual Basic .NET code. As with all of the chapters in this book, if you go to http://www.duncanmackenzie.net/kickstartvb, you will find a detailed listing of additional resources related to each specific chapter.
