[AccessD] OT: How To Learn VS 2005

LOL, that says a mouthful.  .Net has somewhere in the neighborhood of 1000
times the content of VBA (my own estimation but if anything, conservative).
There are somewhere in the neighborhood of 3000+ classes in the .net
framework.  EVERYTHING in .net is an object, including "simple variables"
like integers and strings.  

This is NOT your daddy's VB.

That should provide a good starting basis. You've probably already got
almost all of the "Design" knowledge from Access that you'll need.
It's just a matter of learning how to do the stuff that Access handled for
you auto-magically and then learning the full syntax of .NET and VB versus
VBA.

Let me know how it goes. I'm looking to expand my languages into something
towards .NET, and maybe even delving further into VB.
