[2008] Book
I have been actively trying to learn VB 2008. I bought a book on VB 2008 and it was a great starter book. I know how to put controls on a form, set its properties, etc. The part that the book lacked was databases and common uses (which was fine it was a beginner book). I am looking for an intermediate book for purchase as I understand functions, if/else, etc. Can anyone recommend a good intermediate book to read?

Re: [2008] Book
Are you interested in ADO.NET and database programming?
If so, I would suggest "VB.NET database programming with ADO.NET" by Anne Prince and Doug Lowe. Published by Murach's.

Re: [2008] Book

Moved To General Developer
ADO is the Microsoft technology for connecting applications to data sources. Typically this data source is a database. ADO.NET is that same technology specifically for the .NET development platform.
Here is a little tutorial.

Re: [2008] Book
Ok thats what I thought it was but I wasn't sure. Any other book suggestions? I want to learn more than just connecting to and sending/receiving data with a database. Like file management, networking, etc.
