i'm learning vb.net and c# at the moment. can anyone recommend a book that focuses on the .NET framework in general and isn't too language specific.

if you are looking for broad knowledge I liked .NET Framework Essentials http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596003029/

The training kits for the .NET framework certifications were pretty good. Have a look at http://www.amazon.com/MCTS-Self-Paced-Training-Exam-70-536/dp/0735626197. There's newer versions now (I think), but its targetted at learning the framework, and has examples in both C# and VB.NET.

i would suggest microsft publication book for .net framework. Also you can go for Apress pro series if you have good understanding of .net fx
