If you haven't started with VB .NET yet I really recommend the Murach book Visual Basic 2005

Very well designed.

>I remember there was some hangup with getting signed up. I think the license kicked in near the end of April. I talked to someone today about the potential of future employment. It would involve VB.net. So a good time to take a look at what I won.

>>That's about a $1000 goodie. You might want to check, though, to make sure they didn't start the license last April so you get a whole year.

>>>Dang. I guess I got some work I should be doing. I won a Infragistics license at the user group last April. But haven't really done too much with it.

>>>I got lucky. The meeting took place the nite for the NCAA hoops championship game. Ususally there were 75-100 in attendence. That nite only maybe 20 made it. And I got the lucky grand prize ticket that nite.

>>>>>I've been playing around with Infragistics on the front end in C# apps. I really like their controls. I am most impressed with their grids and the appstyler.

>>>>>>I'm working on a lot of VFP projects now - both mine and other people's. Being a independant developer I can choose my development language. But I am designing exclusively against SQL Server backends and developing my .net skills as fast as I can. I hope to be able to continue to extend these apps using .net where appropriate for web, pda etc. In some cases I'll convert my vfp middle tier to COM and integrate it into a .net solution that will use stuff like Infragistics on the front end.
