A good source for learning C++ .NET

[SurvivorTiger]

Hi everyone,
I know Visual Basic 6 and a little bit of C++. Can anyone suggest a good book to learn C++ .NET (2003) from? I need something to start very beginerish but get really advance at the end, i don't want something that keeps repeting the same stuff over and over and doesn't teach u much!

I haven't read these texts, but I've read other in the series and found them quite good.

Microsoft Press- Step by Step
(hands-on tutorials, easy read)
The older edition is used for $3!

"Complete Reference" Big and Extensive- Perhaps a little TOO big!
(used for $6!)

I'd recommend the Sam's series, but apparently the VC++ .NET text is a rehash of old VC++ 6 material.

First, what specifically do you want to learn?

C++ programming?
Windows Programming (Win32 API)?
MFC?
C++ Managed development using .NET Library?

Each of those is quite different. I seriously doubt that any single book is going to go from beginner to advanced in every one of those subjects.
