I just got myself a Visual Basic.Net compiler, and I'm looking for books to
help me learn. Specifically, I'm a very experienced programmer (going back
to 1968), I'm pretty accomplished in VBA for Excel (user forms, etc.), and
I've written a lot of different languages. On the other hand, I never have
gotten the hang of Visual C++. Being able to interact with the internet is a
secondary consideration.
Thanks in advance for any recommendations.

Programming Microsoft Visual Basic .NET Version 2003
by Fancesco Balena
That one gets high marks from most reviews I've seen. It is a hardcover
1500+ pages. Mine gets lots of use, and is falling apart, for whatever
that's worth. It's also good for doing curls when you're not reading.
Visual Basic .NET Power Tools
by Evangelos Petroutsos
I have thumbed through it at B&N, looks good, good reviews at Amazon, which,
by the way is a good place to get feedback as well. There is information in
that book about interacting VB.net with Excel, if I remember correctly. www.charlesfarriersoftware.com

Thank you!
By the way, I made the mistake of attending law school, and decided that
doing curls with them was the best use for my textbooks there.

Hi Jim,
In addition to the Balena book - which is very good - you may want an intro
to ado .net, for data access and handling. None better than Sceppa, MS
Press, "ADO .Net". Another very good general intro for experienced
programmers - Troelson, Apress, "Visual Basic .net and the .net platform".
