I planned on a single exe program. I hadn't even considered doing a web interface. That would probably be much more complicated though and possibly limited in features compared to the single exe route.

it would be pretty much the same thing in silverlight i think actually , never toyed around with it tho , in any case it comes after the knowledge in those 2 books if you want to learn it so you can decide on that later (there's already quite a lot to learn before , will keep you occupied for a few monthes)

Best C# book I've read and one of the few that's for someone new to programming is Head First C#

Head First C# is another very good one.

I have to respectfully disagree, Head First C# is so full of errors that I found it to be an excercise in frustration. Even with my 2nd printing copy there are 17 pages of addendum posted on line, one of which requires you to reprint 6 pages to completely replace the pages in the book.

Worst $50 I ever spent on a book.

I do like C# Step by Step.

I'm guessing you don't read alot of computer books?
The reason I say this is that the majority I've read have about that many errors unless it's a Knuth or Petzold book which comes out once every several years and the author's willing to pay you for the mistakes you find in the book!
Here is the errata page for "Accelerated C++" one of the most recommended books on this site and I believe it was 6 pages or more when I printed out all the errors for my copy.
Most books don't even bother to post errata pages or respond to reader inquiries about errors and typo's in their books. That's one area in which O'reilly books are really good about. On the other hand after reading post like yours if I was a book author I would just keep my mouth shut when people found errors/typos n my bok and act like the book was perfect like Microsoft does with it's software-LOL!
If you want a book with no errors look no further than Petzold like I said since he must go through his books with a fine toothed comb or maybe it's his master's in math that makes him such a perfectionist? Plus his C# book is available online for free but not as readable as "head first c#" IMO. Actually I'd recommend "C# Step by Step" before Petzold since it's alot more readable.
