Re: Helpful resources for moving from VB6 to VB 2008?

I've developed in VB6 for some time, purposely avoiding going over to the "Dark Side" of .Net. That was mostly because I hadn't come across a .Net (or Java for that matter) app that impressed me by it's speed at all. My development has been for the manufacturing floor. While the concept of a framework may be great for many things, it sucks for others.

Anyway, a client wants to use .Net for a simple app to run on a Win CE PC. Since speed isn't important here I have no problem with finally learning .Net. However, I need to get this simple app done fast (ie, in 2 weeks) so what resources have you found most helpful as you've gone from VB6 to VB 2008? DVDs, books, MSDN, certain websites?



probably better to ask "there" rather than "here"

i.e., newsgroups with .dotnet. in their names.
