[AccessD] VB.net reference books - experiences + SQL Server List

I thought it'd be a lot more than $5......sounds like a bargain to me. I've ordered the CD on developing apps with vb.net and I'll report back! I am very slowly getting the hang of vb.net but it is such a huge learning curve.

Today I was ecstatic to finally have some reliable code to bind data to a datagridview, and bind data to a combo box. I then wasted about 4 hours on trying to get my single column combo to have multiple columns (and I'm not there yet!) - such simple things which are now so difficult until I learn it all again. Sigh....

Thanks Gustav
Kath

  It looks like they'll charge you USD 5.00 for posting outside the US.

  Thanks Gustav - I followed the link but the gotcha seems to be US addresses only,

    Hi Kath

    Just noticed this, though not a book:

    I have no idea of the quality of that stuff.

    (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?
