Hi,

Seriously, coming from VB6 you will find .NET confusing at first. It is best to start right at the bottom, forgetting your VB6 knowledge, because even if a lot of .NET code seems familiar to you, an awful lot of your VB6 knowledge will be misleading you.

I think the best book to start with is Sams Teach Yourself Microsoft Visual Basic.NET 2003 in 24 Hours, by James Foxall. It is far better than previous boooks with similar names for earlier VB languages and he has an excellent back up web site to help with learning. If you get this book, immediately go to the web site and download the errata (about 22 items) as this will save you headaches. ISBN NO. 0-672-32537-3.

As the above is a real beginners book, I also purchased The Core Reference Programming Microsoft Visual Basic.NET by Francis Balena. This is large, deep and mind boggling at first, but I find it a great help after grasping the basics laid out in the above.
ISBN no 0-7356-1375-3.

You MUST get a clear understanding of Inheritance and Classes and I find the MSDN Help references on this very clear.

Alternatively, there are several 5 day full time courses on offer at about $1500.oo, but you will need a months vacation to recover!!

Best of luck.
