VB.NET Book

any ideas on which VB.NET book I should buy?

I've read 4 books so I'm not an authority on the matter but I would recommend Programming Visual Basic.Net by Francesco Balena - A massive book that covers so much and covers it well. Nothing on remoting though, just in case you want that.

I'm with TheIrishCoder on this one. I have the same book. I also have Coding Techniques For Microsoft Visual Basic by John Connell, and it is also a nice book. That book also comes with it in eBook form. The one by Francesco Balena comes with a DVD 60 day trial of Visual Studio .NET, and an eBook of Programming Microsoft Visual Basic 6. I thought I'd point that out, because it is misrepresented on Amazon. I may not have been influenced as much to by the book, had I known the ebook wasn't of the actual book. Oh well. It is still loaded with helpful info regardless.

I would recommend Programming VB.NET: A guide for experienced programmers by Gary Cornell and Johnathan Morisson

I have Wrox "Professional VB.NET", and found it good.

It really depends what kind of programmer you are. I prefer all the Deitel books, because I learned how to program using them, and they all have the same structure. I think the Deitel are more geared toward beginner programming techniques, but I still dig em.
