Which book is the best for VB (for me)?

Hi,
I'm an engineering student and have Visual Basic in my curriculum.
I have sound knowledge of C/C++(and HTML too).. so learning VB would get easier for me..
Which book is the most appropriate for me?

ok but in general some books are really great .. can anyone tell me the names of some the really good ones
Like I said the book I recomend is good

I also agree with leew and shilpi84 go to your local barns and noble grab a few VB.Net books and start reading, buy the ones you like... This is how I tought myself VB.Net (haven't used it in a few years, but I think I still remember a few tricks)

Maybe one of the best book for VB beginners is by Francesco Balena:
Programming Microsoft Visual Basic .NET Version 2003 (ISBN: 0735620598 )
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0735620598/sr=8-1/qid=1139668656/ref=sr_1_1/104-4967994-6032727?%5Fencoding=UTF8

You can also get a Free Book - Introducing Visual Basic 2005 for Developers from http://msdn.microsoft.com/vbrun/staythepath/additionalresources/introto2005/
shilpi84....it's all gonna come down to your aptitude of comprehending the written work.

VB.Net for students by Addison Wesley is good isbn0-201-74205-5 and it includes visual studio.net professional
>>and it includes visual studio.net professional

Impossible! They can't include a software that cost a couple of hundred in a book that cost less then $100.
I beleive shilpi84 was only interested in VB 6.0 anyway.
cool.. thanks!
