Give "Programming C#" 4th edition a shot
ISBN: 0-596-00699-3

I have all 4 books and personaly feel they are the best on the market. Stir clear of any of the MS press books, they are paper weights.. absolutly horrible

Ron,

>Stir clear of any of the MS press books, they are paper weights.. absolutly horrible.

I figured that out a long time ago. Thanks! Programming C# is the winner.

The best possible books on C# in order are:

Visual C# .NET 2003 Unleashed
Professional C# 3rd Edition
C# and the .NET Platform

Everybody has at least one of those on their desk here at work. Unleashed is pretty much the best possible book on C# and the .NET framework in general as it is the newest.. but the others are amazing as well.
