Any links to good descriptions and/or tutorials (with VB.net 2008) on OdbcDataReader ?
I tried, but didn't find many. MSDN is not such a good help in this case.
You are absolutely right. It's hard to find tutorials for ODBC in VB.Net. Below are the links to the ones that I found. Hope it helps.

I am steadily getting to grips with VB.net using Visual Studio 2019 and find myself going back and forth to the Microsoft Docs for help and code examples.
I am finding that when I search the Microsoft Docs, it more often returns examples for C# and not VB.Net. Does Microsoft have a specific Docs page for VB.net, ive tried searching but cannot seem to locate one.
Thanks
There are some instances where only C# examples are available but generally speaking VB will be available too. Select the language just below the Search field at the top of the page:
I'm doing a school project using Visual Studios 2010 Express and I'm coding in vb.NET. I have fair knowledge of the language but as soon as I tried to implement a SQLite database in my project, I was hit with complicated syntax I've never before seen. So, I searched online and couldn't find helpful tutorials on SQLite specifically for vb.NET. Nobody has made videos on YouTube for it and most websites just show code and expect people to know it. Since I'm doing a write-up as well, I need to understand each line of code inside out, so it would be nice if someone could give me an in-depth guide on how to set up a SQLite database on my vb.NET project.
PS: I've already installed the References like ADO.NET and System.Data.SQLite.dll
Thanks!
I need to implement, Controls Based Security in a Windows Forms Application using VB.NET. I tried google but did not get anything much to work with.
I would like if someone, could suggest some books or tutorials.
Thanks
I'd recommend looking at Jesse Liberty's very detailed article: Controls Based Security in a Windows Forms Application, which includes full source and demonstrates one nice approach to this problem. While the article is in C#, the concepts should all translate to VB.NET exactly.
anyone know if these are available?
I think that this:
iText.NET VB Examples
is the closest you're likely to find in VB.NET.
There's also this:
using iTextSharp. NET Form in PDF output
which isn't a complete tutorial, but does give an overview of using iTextSharp in VB.NET, although I'm not sure how useful that link will be to you since the site is originally in Japanese. (The link I've provided uses Google Translate to translate most of the text to English).
I am looking for a website similar to W3Schools that teaches the basics for VB.NET 2008.
If none exist I would just like some good tutorials to get me started. I did some basic VB.NET a couple of years ago but I need to refresh myself, any ideas?
This has some really good screencasts: http://windowsclient.net/learn/videos.aspx

You can find visual basic tutorials in MSDN: go to the Visual Basic Developer Center for a start.
This may not be as nicely formatted as w3schools, but MSDN is probably the best place for you. They have pretty good documentation from what I've seen, but I don't work in VB too much. Here's the link, though. This should be roughly what you're looking for.

I know of this one for VB.NET 2008: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vbasic/bb964686.aspx
You will need to accept the license, and then you will download a zip file with various samples for VB.NET 2008.
