Kath, The following are two must have books I think (watch line wraps): http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0321154894/104-9120876-4614340?v=glance&n=283155 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0321194454/ref=pd_sim_b_1/104-9120876-4614340?%5Fencoding=UTF8&v=glance&n=283155 " .NET Framework Standard Library Annotated Reference, Volume 1 & 2 are the definitive reference for the .NET Framework base class library. This book/CD set utilizes extensive annotations and code samples from the creators of the technology to move beyond the online documentation and provide .NET developers with a dictionary-style reference to the most-used parts of the Framework." The samples are in C# but there are many free converters, which can instantly convert them to VB.NET...
