Any Good .NET Framework 2.0 Documentation

[John Keers]

Hi,

I'm a .NET developer and I want to learn and understand what is happening
"under the hood" of the .NET Framework 2.0 to improve my applications and
transfer knowledge to my colleagues. The CLR, Garbage collection etc etc....

Does anyone know of any good papers or documentation I can download?

Thanks in advance

Generally whole Internet is full of such materials, as a starting point you can start from the docs that MS provides. They are in the form of articles...

Take a look at
( http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframework/ )

You can also dig into technical articles archieve at MSDN...

P.S. not only MS docs are good : google around with appropriate keywords and you will get the info....
