If you want to learn the new Visual basic.NET buy the book "Visual Basic 2005 Step By Step" - Its by "Michael Halvorson" of Microsoft Press.
It goes from very basic stuff to advanced (databases, gdi graphics) and has sections on the differences between VB6 and .NET while not getting too bogged down in the boring stuff
Its a very good book. Im 17 and learnt VB from it when i was 15.
Would highly reccomend. I got mine of amazon for the equivilent of less than $40. Includes all the code on CD.
