Duncan Mackenzie.NET

i want one book write full about visualbasic.net
where will i buy it ?
help me

.NET is the FUTURE - this is the phrase i've always seen and read in the WEB. What about the other dev't tools? are they all moving/upgrading and converting to the .net world? No comment on the new programming languages introduced, anybody could learn.I've tried the 1st version of VS.net specifically vb.net and I find it not super RAD tools esp for data centric application.ADO.Net is what i'm waiting for-DISCONNECTED RS. Report writer is crystal report.. AGAIN? which is no match of a 12 year old access report writer.Why MS did not incorporate access form/report designer or a much improve reporting tools to VS.net? Imagine a winforms + ms access like forms? WOW! its the end maybe? AGAIN Business is Business in Redmond! is the new sql server 2005 reporting tools/Engine (much improve than the ms access)and the answer of MS? ROCK's what about RUNTIME REVOLUTION dev't. Tool from scothland? what can you say? to be burried by MS- illegal Operation scheme?
