    I like Balena's Programming Microsoft Visual Basic .NET (2003 not 2000), but don't expect to get it cheap. If you get it, make sure you get it off of Amazon as they offer a good deduction.

    Some days when I think about the next 30 years or so of my life I am going to spend writing code, I happily contemplate stepping off a curb in front of a fast moving bus.

    I don't believe that there are any good online tutorials. emphasis on good.

    Yes, you should buy it.

    I wouldn't want to tell you to do something illegal, such as downloading an ebook, off a popular file sharing software... such as Kazaa.

    Hint hint, wink wink, nudge nudge.

    Actually, there is sufficient instruction available in the MSDN Help files to teach you VB.NET. The problem is that you have to know which questions to ask. Start by looking up Inheritance and then Classes and then Collections. After that, browse through the info. on each control, paying attention to all the property options.

    There are several sites which will teach you VB.NET but they do charge, e.g. www.learnvisualstudio.net.

    Other sites, whilst charging for some lessons, give some free lessons, e.g. www.devcity.net.

    A major contributor to this forum has a site with some free instruction, www.edneeis.com/tutorials.

    Other contributors to this forum also have advisory sites - look at some of their signatures. BUT beware. Some of the contributors are so way out they will try to have you peeking and poking before you can instance

    This is a commercial world. If you want someone to teach you, you normally have to pay them. Otherwise you just have to spend longer picking up what you can and posting problems on sites like this.
    Taxes
    The more I learn about VB.NET the more I like dBaseIII Plus

    The foregoing, whilst believed to be correct, is given without guarantee as to it's accuracy and entirely without recourse. You are required to decide for yourself whether or not it is suitable for your purposes and no liability for loss of any nature can be entertained.

    I'm not sure about anybody else, but having a nice, regular old hard copy book goes a long way to helping me learn things.
