Hi Damien, As I recall there are VB 6 books on blindprogramming.com as well as safari.oreilly.com. Honestly, the language isn't all that hard to learn with the proper documentation. Of course, my opinion might be a bit biast since I took Visual Basic 5 while I was in college for my CS degree, and it helps to have college level books, instructers, etc to fall back on. However, even then I didn't find it all that hard to pick up on. I don't know what you mean about C#.NET, (C-Sharp,) having built in documentation,but the .NET framework SDK you download from Microsoft does have documentation as well as example programs to work with in C#.NET, VB.NET, and even C++.NET. However, those materials are less a tootorial than a reference guide to look up certain classes, what members and variables are in a class, and some examples how to use it in your code. If you want to do any language right, correctly, you need to buy a good book from Oreilly like C# In a Nutshell or Learning C#.
