Best book for experienced VB6 developer to learn VB.NET?

Ben Mann

Hi, I have been developing business applications in VB since version 3 and
consider myself an experienced VB programmer.

I have spent some time looking at reviews and am considering "Moving to VB
..NET: Strategies, Concepts, and Code, Second Edition" by Dan Appleman.
Does anyone have any negative comments about this book?

Thanks,
Ben.

Thanks for your advice.

After reading several reviews and receiving advice from various forums I
have decided on the following two books:

"Moving to Vb .Net: Strategies, Concepts and Code" by Dan Appleman
To help with the transition from VB6 to VB.NET.

"Visual Basic Programmers Guide to the .NET Framework Class Library" by Lars
Powers and Mike Snell
For a reference to the .NET framework classes.

Thanks again,
Ben.
