Sam;
If you like a book that is "meat and potatoes", I would suggest those from Murach.
http://www.murach.com/index.htmIs it going to be a desktop or browser application? I have an example I could send you a print out of the code for an ASP.NET form that does View, Add, Edit and Deletes, and is three tier. I developed it first in VB.NET and then C#. I prefer C#, as it will not let you compile your code if there is a problem whereas VB lets you cut your own throat!
Will you use Visual Studio and if so which version? I think that you could crank out what you want in short order given a few good examples and answers to your questions as they arise.
A framework is the best way to go but for a small project it might take less time to create your application (one form) then to learn the application framework. You never know until you try! :)
