Need to get up to speed on VB.Net for an ASP.Net project ASAP.

For the record, I've been using VB for years, so just looking for a handy source (preferably on-line, but a good book recommendation will do) of information on where to start.

Any ideas?

TIA

Pete

I personally like the Wrox books. I have found their Professional VB.NET book very useful, and I think they do a more ASP.NET centric book as well.

I haven't found a single online resource that is comprehensive enough, so I usually start from the book and then Google for any "I wonder if any one has done this before" type stuff.

I'd agree with the Wrox recomendation. I've had their VB.Net and ASP.Net books since the beta. But to be honest, they haven't come off the shelf since then really.

I'm a Java programmer so tend to use C# more as it's a cinch to switch between the two. There'll be more of a step change going from VB to VB.Net.

However, my recommendation is just to install the SDK and use the documentation that comes with it and the quick starts on GotDotNet

www.asp.net & weblogs.asp.net are 2 great sources for snippets of .net / .net 2.0 code
