I am looking for one, too. VS 2005 is the most exciting product I have
worked with since Access came out.  It is incredible.  There does not
seem to be much in the way of documentation yet.  Seems when I google
something, I get messages that the documentation is *coming soon*.  Did
you run into *one click* yet?  Every feature is a treat - I actually
spent 20 straight hours last weekend tied to my PC and this product.

List

(Cross posted to SQl Server and AccessD normal list)

I have been learning SQL Server 2005 and vb.net this year......I have
found Mike Gunderloy's book "Mastering SQL Server 2005" an absolute god
send. I would highly recommend this one to anyone going through this
learning curve....

But the book I bought for learning vb.net is not so good - "Visual Basic
2005 - Programmer's reference' by Rod Stephens. It's not too bad - very
much like reading the MS help screens - but I am looking for a book
which will step me through it - a la Mike's style. Any recommendations?

(I know O'Reilly's are good but I am told by my colleague here that that
it is more of a reference book.)

(While I am posting - it's very quiet on our SQL list for now - is there
another list anyone has been using which they would recommend?
