You might look around for a good text on the principles of object-oriented
design. This isn't really a language issue - the principles apply to VB just
as firmly as they apply to C# or C++ or SmallTalk or any other
object-oriented language. In fact, if you were to do a search for such a
book, I'd look for something that didn't concentrate on a single language so
much as it emphasized the language-independent principles.
Sorry I don't have a specific recommendation. I've been doing this for so
long that the primary references I used when I was integrating these
principles are kind of dated now.
I will say, however, that Microsoft's MSDN library and the sample code that
you find there are not necessarily the best examples of good object-oriented
design that you'll come across. So don't take what you find there as gospel.
Best of luck,
