Do you know for a Quick Guide to Learn "Programming" in VB .Net ?

[RovirozM]

Hi All !

In the past I used to work with VB 6.0 but now I need to start working in Visual Studio 2010 (Visual Basic .Net).

Today My knowledge is about SQL 2008 Stored procedures for Programming and Reporting Services but I need to lear about .Net.

I read in some sites about the Environment, about the ADO.Net, about lot of stuff but what I'm needing now is lear about programming (If, Do, Dim, msgbox, etcc.) I Mean all the commands to start creating programs (when is neccessary because I read that a lot of things can be made easier without programm)

Do you know about a Quick Guide that I can Start programming and understanding about VB.Net ? Something that help you to start in this .Net arquitecture ? (If you were in the same position than me in the past and now you learned that would be good ;O) )

Thanks a lot !

If you know how to program in VB6 a lot of the stuff to get you going is practically the same (especially the things you mentioned).

Obviously there are major differences between the two languages, but the stepping off point isn't. I was a VB6 programmer, and I taught myself VB.Net by just doing it (coupled with researching things on the internet).

Since you used to work with VB 6, I would suggest to take a simple app that you did in VB 6 and re-write it in VB.NET
When you get stuck - ask here for help.

All the If, Do, Dim, msgbox, etc. are pretty much the same as in VB 6

What I do like in VB.NET is a new 'very local' declaration of variables, such as
[tt]
For [blue]i As Integer[/blue] = 1 To 100
...
Next i
[/tt]
But that's just me....

Have fun.
