Practical Standards for Microsoft Visual Basic (DV-MPS General) Review by David Moore

Excellent overview of VB coding standards

This is a very good book for someone looking for a set of standards for writing Visual Basic code. The author covers pretty much all VB topics as related to coding standards.

I've been programming in VB for many years, so much of this was not new to me, but it did have some helpful tips. His chapter on comments is very good and had some helpful insight for writing better comments.

The last chapter covers how to set up Visual Source Safe, a topic that I was interested to see included here. It is somewhat unrelated, but it is in fact a very useful step-by-step guide to setting up this tool for source code control. This alone makes this book worthwhile if you're not using VSS now and would like to.
