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

"ASP Unleashed" has been good for me.

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.

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:

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!
