Ok, I have been programming in VB6 for a few years now, but must stress that I have had no training and have picked up things as I have gone along (or have been taught here). I really need to shake loose the old bonds to VB6 and move to VB.NET but from what I am reading I would be better off if I had never learned VB6! (well what I know of VB6 anyways). So does anyone recommend any good books to read on VB.NET for someone that knows some VB but virtually NO VB.NET?
Many thanks

The transition is tough for me at least. VB6 programmer for many years. One good place to start is the 101 .NET Tutorials at the top of the forum. :thumb:
Yah , search the forum .
Also, dont forget that we have a .NET CodeBank. Some great stuff in there.
Thanks guys.
If you dove into VB6 on your own, you can dive into .NET as well. You are not better off not having not learned VB6. The syntax is the same, and the keywords are the same. That alone is worth something.
However, once you get into .NET a bit, you may not ever want to go back.
I found the VB.NET books from O'Reilley to be pretty good. They really cover just aspects (nothing covers it all), but they would act as descent references as you make the move.
Thanks Shaggy, thats exactly what I was after.
Many thanks
