Learning VB.NET

Hi All,

am Working in VB 6.0
I wants to Learn VB.NET

How will i go Anyone Pls Guide
Like Books & Syllabus

Thanks in Advance

Purchase a book.

Seriously, we have multiple threads about this on the first page and even a sticky at the top with lots of good information plus other useful threads right at the top.

You can probably find more threads on the next page so I'd suggest searching. Microsoft also has an E-Book that talks about migrating

Several literature and tutorial links in my signature.

Thanks a lot jmcilhinney & kasracer

Depending on your knowledge, I found the Complete Idiots Guide to Visual Basic .NET to be very good, if you've ever read the VB6 version (Like I have), it simply refreshes it all in .NET style, which is great for the conversion process, plus it provides a great introduction into OOP, it's a nice read.

When it comes down to it, the best way is definitely to go and purchase a book and read it cover to cover, that's how I've done it, and I'm sure many others have too because there are a lot of changes, and once you start using them, you'll wonder why you wasted so much of your life in VB6 :p

I'm getting ready to start developing an application that will be decided on by the people reading my blog. Voting is still open, and I will post every part of my design process, and hoope that people will provide feedback on their personal experiences in life and ideas of what they do like and do not like. I am hoping that it will provide good insight to myself and readers on the complete development life cycle.

I got the book, it is quite good, but it uses vb6 functions like left trim and instr!! That really bugged me quite a bit..

But it probably gave you a basic understanding of .NET. From there and our forums you can now identify the MS.VB namespace and why its better not to use it. No, I dont want to start anohter one of those MS.VB vs System discussions but only that if it helps you get another step closer to understanding the .NET logic and code then its a :thumb: :D

Does it? Sorry about that, it's been a few years since I read it, though to be honest, I ignored those and focused on the System.Text equivalents when I saw those examples, because I knew that was how it was supposed to be done.

Considering it's target audience, I still stand behind the fact it's great for learning VB.NET, there are a few issues I did find with it, but it just describes .NET, the IDE and OOP quite well, and in regular man's terms that it just all makes sense, that's why I recommend it.

No need to apoligize, I just wanted to point out what I didnt like before he got the book.
