OK, you were a developer, so I suggest this free ebook :
Introducing Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 for Developers
(http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/vbasic/ms789094.aspx).

I just came out with _Start-to-Finish Visual Basic 2005_. It reviews most
of the features of VB, and gives an overview of .NET also. I thought that
the publisher Apress also had a VB book for C programmers, but I wasn't able
to locate the title. Try www.apress.com.

You really should consider learning a different language. VB is about
to be removed from Visual Studio. Why VB anyway? If you have C
experience you would probably be better with Java.

Why still repeat this nonsense? There is absolutely no evidence for what
you are saying. Instead, future versions of VB will likely contain features
not available in C# such as direct support for XML literals inside the
source code.

If you want to use Java, that's fine. But don't choose it based on the so-called
"Master Programmer's" words. He lied to you. VB will NOT be removed from
Visual Studio.

It's not going to be removed. He's just trying to cause trouble.
VB isn't going anywhere; there are hundreds of thousands of
VB.Net programmers out there.

Check out Tim Patrick's book. It's great for someone moving
to VB.Net.

Also, Francesco Balena has a great book called "VB2005: The
Language" that only covers the language, no data access or forms.

Herfried,

We better should not give any reply too the one who gives himself the name
of Master Programmer, with that declaring himself as a fool or a kid.

Since we lost Java there has not been much improvement while it was so
leading in past.

(and I almost felt in your trick)

:-)

No worries Tim, Raj and MP are one in the same. He can't keep his
aliases straight.
