After switching from VB6 to .NET just last week, I've found that .NET is quite foreign to me. So I thought this is probably the best place to find out VB.NET users' opinions on what the best VB.NET book to buy is. Thanks for any recommendations in advance.
 
Try Teach Yourself Visual Basic .Net In 21 Days published by SAMS.
 
If you want book beyong basics it really depends on what you want to concentrate on when using VB.NET. For example datbases, controls etc. None of the overall VB.NET books cover specific topics in enough detail.
 
I've had some luck with a book called "Essential ASP.Net with Examples in Visual Basic.Net." The author is Fritz Onion, published by Addison-Wesley. They also offer this same book in a C# version.

I used this book to help myself migrate from VB6 to .Net.

Good luck.
 
I have the Visual Basic .NET Bible, and it is a great resource
for beginning VB.NET and learning all the new concepts. It only
dabbles in other subjects of the .NET framework, though, so once
you learn the new syntax and concepts in this bookyou may want to move
into more goal-specific, language-neutral concepts the .NET
framework provides, like Mutant mentioned.
