I have seen several books referring to C# 3.0. Is the same as C# 2008. I was
going to buy some reference material and want to make sure it is for the
latest version. I've have always seen it referred to as C# 20xx

No. C# 3.0 is the language included with Visual Studio 2008 and Visual C#
2008. The latter is one edition of Visual Studio 2008 Express that includes
only the C# components. The language isn't called "C# 2008", though it's
easy to see where the confusion comes from.

The latest version of C# is C# 4.0, by the way, which will be included with
Visual Studio 2010 and (presumably) Visual C# 2010.

To mix you more: I think the newest version of the ECMA 334 standard
C# Langugage Specification is 4th edition (June 2006).

Yup. And that's for the 2.0 version of the language!
