| We're currently in the throws of acquiring Visual Studio .NET and i am wondering if anyone can recommend a good book. We have a number of VB6 applications that we'll initially need to upgrade/re-write. I know there are a million books out there so thought perhaps someone may be able to point a guiding light to one in particular.Rob's always good at recommending books i seem to remember.any help appreciated====Paul |

| Two good ones I have :Programming ASP.NET by Jesse Liberty and Dan Hurowitz from O'Reilly is a good introduction while being a not bad reference later on.Also Essential ASP.NET with Examples in C# by Fritz Onion is GREAT for what is going on behind the scenes.Damian |

| A tip on Migrating VB 6 to .Net. Generally, you want to re-write to take advantage of .Net. Everything I've read thus far has said that. If you just "upgrade" you will most probably not gain very much, if anything.Here's a pretty important article about .net coding:http://www.fawcette.com/vsm/2002_08/magazine/features/balena/default_pf.aspMichael<Yoda>Use the Search page you must. Find the answer you will.</Yoda> |

Actually, I don't have any recommendations on .Net books, but I did take a C# and ASP.Net boot camp recently, and the Microsoft training materials for the course are very well done. The examples are just right for beginners and intermediate programmers. I don't think you can get these without taking the class though, which is a couple thousand dollars, but if you were thinking about it I'd recommend it.P.S. - no, this was NOT a boot camp to prepare for a certification exam, so no finger-wagging!  |
