VB .Net Books

Hi
I am looking for any books that will aid a VB6 Developer painlessly into the world of VB.Net Programming. Getting to grips with the new IDE sort of thing.

Preferably with a bias to ADO/SQL Server 2K/Application Design/Reporting Services/Web.

TIA
Ian

Well, any of the fine Wrox library would be ideal! ;)

(Well, what else would you expect from publisher hosted forum?
Sorry, couldn't help myself.

Thanks for the reply and a fair comment:), I did buy Beginning VB6 dB's, Professional VB6 dB's and VB6 Application Development. I found these very useful, though the beginning book was a little to basic.

Though the book(s) I am looking for will be basically, 'this is how it was done in VB6 but this is how it is now done in .Net'

Hmm.. I wonder if such books exist. I would like to see more of these "transition" books.

I don't know that Wrox has a book that does this. APress had a Early beta 2 book that was called "moving to VB.NET" that was targeting this exact segment. At the time I think WROX was focused on the "handbook" books.
