VB.NET, Unit testing and .NET Framework book recommendation

Hi!

I've been programming in VB.Net and done testing with TypeMock and
MbUnit (Testdriven.net) for about 2months now at work. I can see that
my testing skills and particular my knowledge about the .NET
framework
is far too weak. Far to often I choose to implement custom stuff
that's already available to me from the framework, or I use the wrong
stuff from the framework. Also I feel that the whole concept of
Object
Oriented Programming is a bit vague to me, and often i dont know what
to test and why!

One of my solutions to this is to buy a few good books on the
different topics:

1. I need a book(s) that tells me about the framework, what is
available and what to use when. It's a positive if this also covers
the concept of Object Oriented Programming.

2. I need a book(s) that's covers testing, functional tests, a
positive if it's with TypeMock and MbUnit...

Please keep in mind that the books need to be at beginner level! So,
any recommendations out there? :)

gamesforums,

What is your educational background? Do you have a 4-year computer science
degree? A 4-year CIS or IT degree? A 2-year degree? Etc.

What is your programming background? Are you an experienced programmer in
other languages, but new to VB and .Net? Do you have previous
non-object-oriented programming experience? Etc.

I have a 2-year traditional IT-degree from here in Sweden. But that's
a couple of years ago. My experince is mainly with Transact SQL - SQL
server 2000/2005. Before that i was doing small projects in
traditional asp, using vb 6.0 against SQL2000 but i would not count
myself as experinced in that field either. Now I need to go down the
road of object-oriented programming - vb.net - dont we all? :)

Hope that helps!
