Dear All,

I am new to C# and looking for some good books for a start. I have been
working on Windows Platform for several years and have extensive experience
in C++ and COM. I decide to shift to .Net from now.

Regards,
Johnny Xia.
 
On that list there is a book called
"Professional C#"

Don´t buy that one! It is horrible!
Sorry to say that but it´s true.

You can look at amazon.com to read some comments about the book.
I´ve bought it myself. A lot of mistakes and most of the topics are just
scratching the surface!

Greetings,
timtos.
 
Applied Microsoft .NET Framework Programming by Jeffrey Richter is subperb

Debugging Applications for Microsoft .NET and Microsoft Windows is
unquestionably a must have.

Charles Petzold's Programming Windows with C# is also a great one.

For ADO.NET, get David Sceppa's ADO.NET Core Reference or Bill Vaughns'
ADO.NET best practices (actually, get them both)
 
Yes, Applied Microsoft .NET Framework is really good... the initial
chapters gives good exposure to .NET for beginners.

Cheers,
Arun Prakash G
 
How about this one "Essential .NET Volume I: The Common Language Runtime" by
Don Box?

Everybody likes different things, but I've found a couple good ones.

1) ASP.NET Unleashed - Stephen Walther - Sams 2002 (ISBN:
0-672-32068-1)
Great starter for C# based ASP

2) Essential .NET Volume 1 - Don Box - Addison-Wesley 2003 (ISBN:
0-201-73411-7)
More advanced but great for the power .NET developer (Don't make this
your first C# or .NET book)
