Neil,
In the time of VB6 I used books, however, currently there is so much available on Internet while the intelicense in VB (help when you are typing and even automatically suggesting complete sentences if you make mistake or don't know something) that reading
a book is not the best way.
In the time of VB6 I once 've read a book which covered completely all that could be done with VB.
That is currently impossible with the newer VB versions.
In VB6 there where not 2 completely different presentation layers for desktop, there where not 3 presentation layers for the web, there where not 5 or more complete different ways to access a database, there was not anything for phone or other mobile device.
There was no internet conectivity in the way it is used currently. And much more.
That does not fit in one book.
The VB program language between VB6 and VB10 is not so much changed. (Most that was in VB6 is still in VB10 with some slight chances to do more OOP and to keep things more consistent).
The main difference is however .Net, a kind of uniform way of handling things using the Windows OS systems.
If you want to read something to learn the current environment, then go to the library and find a book which gives you an impression of .Net.
If you know that, then you can forget things as the VB6 IISClass where very quick bugs where not solved for (that IISClass looks very much as a base for Net), recordsets, Ado, Dao and all those in fact all those seperate created ways of doing things.
If you have the basic principle of .Net developing, then forget books and start to read on MSDN, it sometimes takes you by hand in an endless repositry of courses, samples etc.
Success
