There is an excellent list here <http://stevewedig.com/2014/02/03/software-developers-reading-list/>. These are general software developers books, some are classics and most are very worthwhile. They cover lots of the bits that turn a good developer into a great developer (even, dare I say it, a craftsman).
There are also lots of great kata sites, usually with people posting their answers. Looking through their code is another great way of exploring what makes good code, what is readable, understandable and works. It's been a while since I read a C# book (and much longer since I read a VB.NET one), so I can't help you with specific language books. But if you are competent with the language, there are many site with videos of people coding that provide interesting tips/approaches. My current favourite is this one <http://www.daedtech.com/tdd-and-modeling-a-chess-game> - it is C# using test-driven development to create a chess game in C#. So far it is up to episode 22. The first episode is a blog post with code, the rest are posts and videos. Anyway, hope that helps.
