Visual Basic.net help/reference (or lack thereof...) -
After having programmed in Visual Basic 5 (Visual Basic 3.0 and Quick Basic before that) for several years, I decided to give Visual Basic.net a look. One of the first things that I noticed is that just like Visual Basic 6 it doesn't come with its own help files making me have to rely on the online MSDN Library about which I'm not too impressed. If the MSDN Library CDs you can buy are anything like the online version, I don't want them. Visual Basic 5's help was pretty good, although not great. Does any one know if there are any websites or books that provide decent reference information about Visual Basic.net more or less similar to for example Visual Basic 5 (or perhaps Quick Basic/Visual Basic 3.0)?
