I am looking to learn more of Visual Basic .Net and was wondering if anyone
could recommend a good book ?
I have done a lot of programming on Visual Basic 6, so I would like to
crossover my knowledge to .Net.
I was looking at Mastering Visual Basic .NET by Evangelos Petroutsos because
I have used his other books from VB5 and VB 6 and they were outstanding.
But any recommendations are greatly appreciated.
Thanks

While I have had no background in VB6 and am learning from scratch in .Net,
I think I can recommend two good text books to you.:
Visual Basic .Net Power coding by Paul Kimmel
Advanced Guide to Programming with Microsoft Visual Basic .Net by Michael
Ekedahl.
Both good books as far as I'm concerned.
The second is the text book for my advanced VB class, and has the 2003
version of Visual Studio included. (Academic version, of course, but fully
functional except for remote debugging as I understand it.)

Actually that sounds very interesting. I am in the introductory class right
now. Although I have done prior programming in VB6, I have not done any
work in .Net, so I have to take the introductory class before I can take the
intermediate class.
The local college does not offer an advanced class, so I will have to look
around for that.
Thank you very much for the help

Visual Basic .NET Step by Step by Michael Halvorson was a big help getting
going in my introductory course.
Started with the basics and worked its way into things that were outside the
scope of the first class, but did a lot to help prepare me for the next
level. Still use it as a constant reference.

That is exactly what I am looking for. I really like the idea of using it
as a reference later. That is a big plus.
Now all I need to do is sell the Sams Teach Yourself VB.Net in 21 days that
I just bought and never used. It is a decent book, but lacking in advances
stuff
