I'm currently going through the videos on the site listed below.  I'm enjoying it.  Also...you can choose between the C# and VB video to watch.

> This is an absolute must which will teach you about DataTables and TableAdapters and Data Access Layers (and much more) and lift you off all the SqlClient and SqlCommand stuff found everywhere which is waste of time to deal with except for very special purposes.

> As for which version, go with the 2008 versions:

> http://www.microsoft.com/Express/
>
> For web development it is the Visual Web Developer.

> To confuse you a little, I can tell that I used the opportunity (when moving from Access - and Access Basic and later VBA - to Visual Studio) to switch to C# following the advice from several fellow list members. It has been a pleasure and I don't regret that.
