Book recommendation for visual basic

[MinRaise]

I am looking to purchase a book on Microsoft Visual Basic for a school project. I have done a lot of programming before, and I would consider myself at the intermediate level when it comes to Visual Basic. Does anyone have any books they can recommend?

Visual Basic really doesn't need a book if you're already an intermediate programmer. Just check out some websites. If you're talking .NET (which i hope you are), then books are a better idea.

What type of project?

plenty of tutorials here

For Visual Basic.NET I recommend a book called something like "Visual Basic .NET: How To Program" by Deitel & Deitel. I like the Deitel books because they're written more like textbooks than references. Each chapter has sample problems at the end with solutions to many of those problems.

Also, every time they introduce a new topic, they give a 100% code-complete sample that you can just key in, compile, and run. This is unlike most reference books that give "code snippets" that cannot run independently.

If you insist on a book, I like Programming Microsoft Windows with Microsoft Visual Basic .NET (Core Reference) by Charles Petzold.

Finally, strongly consider learning C# vs VB.Net. You'll thank me later.
