A while ago I posted a message about Roof&Fergus' book on the CF asking
whether there's maybe a second version with C# examples. Didn't get any
reply, so I'm just wondering ?
I've got the book here but it's all with VB.Net examples, sad for me as a C#
programmer.. I supose I could transform small examples made for VB to C# but
longer ones are just not easy to transform to C# code. I'd honestly love to
get all the code in C# as people keep refering to this book and I can't
unfortunately use much of it :/
 
Jez:

Try sending Dan an email, If he doesn't have all of the code in C#, he's got
most of it... (e-mail address removed)
 
Just did, thanks for the email address. I hope to get a positive reply..

It's just that everyone keeps mentioning the book.. I've got it but I don't
tend to open it too much as it's all VB code.
 
It's a great book, and i'm sure Dan will get back to you..he's good like
that. If you haven't picked up the Compact Framework Core Reference by
Wigley and Wheelwright and or Building Solutions with Microsoft .NET Compact
Framework by Box and Fox, you'll probably enjoy them as well.
 
I got the Core Reference, it's the one I really use most and to be honest
with you I think this book is amazing!

I don't have the box and fox one though, might have a look at the bookshop
this weekend to see if it's worth it.
 
As per your recommendation I bought the Box and Fox book this weekend
- it's all in VB.Net as well but thought I may as well get it. Also
found a (new?) book on the CF: Microsoft .NET Compact Framework by
Rubin and Yates. Never heard about that one before.. It's got both C#
and VB.Net examples.
 
Hi Jez,

did you receive an answer from Dan Fergus already?

Having the same "problem" as you (programming in C# only), I also am
very interested in C# examples to this book.

Would you please inform us whenever you have new information?

Thanks
Roland
 
Dan replied to me pretty much straight away and told me he's working on the
C# examples at the moment. He asked me to contact him in about a week or
two. Once I get it I'll post a message on the newsgroup
