VB 6.0 Books
Can anyone suggest some good VB (6.0 and .NET) books? I am interested in more textbook type books rather then "Visual basic for dummies" type books

Re: VB 6.0 Books
vivek.. regarding the blackbook..
amazon has
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/157...Fencoding=UTF8
and
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/193...Fencoding=UTF8
the first one was written in 1998 I think.. 2nd one has 2 writers.. and was written / published in 2002...
do you thinktheres a big difference here? is it worth paying 5x the price for the newer one? which one do you have/read?
Thanks

Re: VB 6.0 Books
If you really want to get into API programming then get Dan Applemans book on Win32 programming. I cant remember the exact title but he is the author and if you search for his books you will definately find it.

Re: VB 6.0 Books
Well APIs are very very helpful in VB6 but less needed in vb.net as most of the things you would use APIs for are all wrapped up in new functions like an .TopMost property for a form. This would require you to use the SetWindowLong API with some parameters in Vb6. Or a forms transparency would take several APIs and in .net its a form property .Opacity. 
You will still need APIs for certain things like getting an external windows handle and stuff like that.

Re: VB 6.0 Books
I think its 1998 one. I has only 1 writer. The year has not been mentioned in the book. I think u should better purchase newer one.

Re: VB 6.0 Books

Re: VB 6.0 Books
There are so many books available. I recommand:
Programming Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 / Francesco Balena /MS press
Advanced Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 / The Mandelbrot Set /MS press - to get more knowledge in vb6
Reading books only will give skills but not knowledge. So, we need to practice, practice, practice . . .
Regards,

Re: VB 6.0 Books

Reading books will give you knowledge but writting cod will build your skills.
