I began my career as a COBOL programmer in the early 80s. My company transitioned away from Unix to Windows and I left COBOL behind for VB6. I have had no formal VB training except from another VB programmer at the company, but I was very successful in transition the COBOL system to VB6. I left programming in 2002 and have recently returned (6 years later) to convert the system I originally wrote in VB6 to VB.net 2005. I have very little experience with data binding but it seems to be very prevalent. I need help with the learning curve in .NET and databinding.
