Has anyone read those orange "Complete" books by Sybex, like Visual Basic 6 Complete, C# Complete, etc.?

IMO, they suck. The VB6 book was too simple IMO and didn't go too deep with teh codez, and if not for my C++'ing the C# book wouldn't have made sense to me. I only bought them because they're cheap.

Sounds like you get what you pay for.

I have another VB6 book, by Deitel and associates. Equally cheap, but the code is much more comprehensive. Now that book was good.

Yeah, I've got one somewhere. Is ok as a reference book I guess.

Cheers
