I'm just getting started w/ this whole thing and I'm trying to make sense of it all.
Please help.
Is VB.net the same as VB 2005, and are visual studio.net and visual studio 2005 the same.
If not what are the major differences.
I know there is a whole .net architechture, but is this meant to eliminate the previous non-.net languages, or is this just an addition.
Anyway, I'm interested in making windows forms as well as database manipulation. Where should I start?
I already purchased "programming VB.Net 2nd edition from O'Reilly". Great book but it only has one chapter on windows forms. Also it discusses the differences between VB6 compnared to VB.Net. It doesn't mention VB 2005.
I was checking out "Programming VB 2005 from O'Reilly". Seems like a good book. A lot more concentration on windows forms and web forms
Thanks for any help.

Visual Studio 2003 uses the .NET framework 1.1.
Visual Studio 2005 uses the .NET framework 2.0.
Microsoft decided to shorten the name from VS.NET to VS 2005. The new books for the latest version of VS are just being published. You should buy a book that includes the 2005 date in the title if you are using VS 2005. The various versions of VS are not interchangeable. However, most code written for VS 2003 can be updated. VS 2005 has new features added and the IDE looks different, but most of the old code still works. Once updated from 2003 to 2005 using the Update Wizard, the code cannot be reversed.
