I did find you this link, however: http://forums.asp.net/760280/ShowPost.aspx

I have, however, been a PHP programmer as well. And from that standpoint, I’ll ask you to consider C#.NET instead of VB. C# looks a lot like PHP (both of which having borrowed some from the C language) so the transition might come much more naturally.

As far as resources are concerned, I’ve armed myself the following (which are serving me well):

1. Mastering C#.NET by Jason Price and Mike Gunderloy
2. Build Your Own ASP.NET Website using C# & VB.NET
3. ASP.NET Programming with Microsoft Visual C#.NET by G. Andrew Duthie
4. Visual C#.NET Kickstart by Steven Holzner
5. C# Professional Projects from Premier Press
6. Professional C# by Robinson, Nagel, Watson, Glynn, Skinner & Evjen
7. Beginning Visual C# by Karli Watson

You might also consider acquiring a book that details building shopping carts in .NET.

If you’ve written PHP before, I doubt whether C# will come as a shock to you. Post a reply if you need any help. There’s a good many people in these forums who’ll be much willing to help a fellow developer.

Cheers!
