Transitioning from VB6 to VB.Net: Which books do you recommend???

The subject line basically says it all. Which VB.net books do you
feel are essential to your practice? Which books would you not want
to be without?

Thanks in advance.

You can't beat the price on this one:
Free Book - Upgrading Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 to Microsoft Visual Basic
..NET

Thanks so much for the recomendation! I'll check this out.

I probably should have made this clear... and I understand my Subject
Line implies otherwise... but I am not just asking for recommendations
on 'transitional' books, but VB.Net books in general.

In other words, a better Subject Line for this thread probably should
have been:

VB.Net: Which books do you recommend?

Thanks again for your help though, I'll still be checking out the
document you mentioned!

Alan,

I found the Microsoft .Net Core Requirements MCAD/MCSD Self-Paced
Training Kit to be an extremely valuable resource. The books in this
kit cover VB.Net and C# demonstrating how things are done in both
languages. The books are also broken down by Windows, Web, and Web
Services which is also helpful.
