I am looking to add to my growing collection of books on c++.
I prefer books aimed at the visualstudio.net compilers rather then borland etc etc.
I am not look specifically to improve in any one area, but can safely rule out GUI creation. Not that I feel I am great at it, but I have gone as far as I need to with that at this moment in time.
I already have these:
http://www.amazon.com/Ivor-Hortons-Beginning-Visual-Programmer/dp/0764571974/ref =pd_bbs_sr_1/002-4078896-2992826?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1183375873&sr=8 -1
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0321246950/lynnallain
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0596004192/lynnallain
http://www.amazon.com/C%2B%2B-Dummies-Stephen-Randy-Davis/dp/0764568523/ref=pd_b bs_sr_1/002-4078896-2992826?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1183376230&sr=1-1

Please post a link to a book you think would benefit me and that taught you something, or perhaps an on-line learning resource.

Many thanks.

The C++ Programming Language, Third Edition by Stroustrup himself. DO NOT GET A COMPILER-SPECIFIC C++ BOOK EVER! You should be learning ISO standard C++ from the beginning and then pick up on OS/compiler-specific extensions as you need them. You also WILL need to deal with more than one compiler sooner or later.

MSDN is pretty much all you will ever need, it has documentation on pretty much everything. Then there are places like the CodeProject, CodeGuru and much more. Oh, and don't forget the MSDN Forums! Their VC++ General & VC++ Language forums support both Native/Win32 API/ISO C++ and Managed C++/CLI
