Hi Jay,

Most of the good books assume that you are familiar with vb.

Among the better books:
Balena, MS Press, Programming Visual Basic .Net
Troelson, Apress, vb .net and the .net platform
For database programming - Sceppa, ADO .Net, MS Press

HTH,
Bernie Yaeger

that need to adapt to .NET? I don't want to learn vb.net from the ground up,
since I am already pretty skilled with vb6 (well, I hope that vb6 experience
will help).
