I would go to the source Microsoft. MSDN has lots of tutorial and videos. MSDN is a big place and is not the easiest to move around in but there is a lot of infor for free there.

        ' Provide the query string with a parameter placeholder.
        Dim queryString As String = _

            & "WHERE UnitPrice > @pricePoint " _
            & "ORDER BY UnitPrice DESC;"

        ' Specify the parameter value.
        Dim paramValue As Integer = 5

        ' Create and open the connection in a using block. This
        ' ensures that all resources will be closed and disposed
        ' when the code exits.
        Using connection As New SqlConnection(connectionString)

            ' Create the Command and Parameter objects.
            Dim command As New SqlCommand(queryString, connection)
            command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@pricePoint", paramValue)

            ' Open the connection in a try/catch block. 
            ' Create and execute the DataReader, writing the result
            ' set to the console window.
            Try

You can also check out the site: http://asp.net-tutorials.com/

I would recommend http://www.4guysfromrolla.com. That site isn't a tutorial exactly, but it does have lots of articles and examples of many things that you will find yourself needing to do as you develop in asp.net.
