Recommendations for a good 2nd VB .NET book?

[Steve]

Hoping someone can help me out. I have a pretty firm understanding of
the syntax of VB .Net as well as classes and a bit of ADO.NET. I'm
hoping someone can recommend a good book to help me put it all
together for writing a fairly complex application. This isn't a web
application, so that's not my main concern here. I'm looking for a
book that can help me understand when to create classes, how they
relate, when to create modules, how to call different classes, how to
(or if I should) use classes with ADO.NET.

If anyone has any suggestions, I'd sure appreciate it.

Thanks.
Steve

Since he's already asking what about a VB.net book for creating web
applications?

Core Reference Guide. by David Sceppa...

Steve, the ADO.NET Core reference by Sceppa is a Must Have. Bill Vaughn's
Best Practices book rocks too.

As far as VB.NET, John Connell has a book called Coding Techniques for
Visual Basic .NET that is superb, so is Fransesco Balena's Visual Basic .NET
Core Reference. All of Paul Kimmel's stuff is great too, but get VB.NET
unleashed first, the Serious Programmers one rocks, but it's not for
beginners.
