Book for web dev with VS2005?

I'm making the jump from VB6 + ASP to VS2005. I have a lot of hours to
kill this weekend in a car and I was wondering what is the best book
for web development for VS2005. I've done a lot of programming with
SQL Server. I've done some with C# and a fair amount with ASP, and
tons with VB6. I'm developing an intranet site where users will logon
and do several tasks. Thanks!

This group is for classic VB, not for VB.NET (including VB2003 and VB2005).
The latter is basically a completely different language.

Groups for VB.NET:

news://news.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.dotnet.general
news://news.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb
news://news.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb.controls
news://news.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.interop

I understand that, but the people in this list are where I am at and
I'm sure that there are quite a number who are making the jump as
well.

Yeah, I'm making the jump -err- jumping ship to Trolltech's C++ and PostgreSQL.
I can't deal with a vendor who leaves me with no path forward other than to
rewrite all my code. If you like those conditions then good luck to you.

Most of the people who are here aren't trying very hard (if at all) to move
to .NET. Seriously, you'd get better answers asking in the .NET groups where
you KNOW that people ARE using that version. Make sense?

Apparently, you don't.

Then you are at the wrong newsgroup!

That would be a remarkably and totally wrong assumption on your part.

Most of the people here are extremely annoyed that MS has abandoned VB
Classic

They are also annoyed that MS has hijacked the name of VB
- and given it to an entirely different language

Posting about FRED.NET (as we tend to call it) is just going to stir
up a hornets nest
- fine if you want to do that
- but it will not help with your problem
