Certainly some things in the book are Delphi specific such as the BDP
controls, etc.
However, your right, alot of it seems generic too to the .NET framework.

Like you said it's all the same and I don't need 2 IDE's. I just need one
that's stable and I found it in VS.NET. I've wasted too much time and money
