I'm looking for the best possible book on WinForms and C# , hopefully
written for v2.0. I prefer advanced, densely written texts. One sentence
where the writer could get away with five. That type of thing. Thanks for
any advice.
 
John Grandy,

There are many C# books out in the market!
The first thing I would do if I were to learn another programming
language would be to go to Amazon.com and do a search. There, people
review the books they've purchased and read, and rate it, out of five
stars.

Anyway, I know of one book which is really good on C#, but I ain't sure
about WinForms: John Smiley's Teach Yourself to Program in C#.
Mainly people write tutorials from the beginning, and not so much as
'advanced' as what you want.

Anyhow, the best way to learn about WinForms in C# is to do some trial
and error, click on everything and play around with the IDE.
That's how I learnt to build a WinForms Application!

Hope that helps,

Seen Sharp
 
Hi John

You can get a lot of the information on C# from the sample chapters
available, this includes many chapters on C# winforms. A lot of these (74
chapters) are available in my C# ebook page, (in signature).

Hope this helps

John,

For me, the best book on Windows Forms programming is:


http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0321116208/202-0816576-369181

I don't know if there will be an update of the book for .NET 2.0.
Chris Sells is now working on an Avalon book...

Yes, there will be an update for WinForms 2.0. See

I think that he mentioned on hos blog that it might be split into two
books due to the sheer size of stuff he wants to cover...

Cheers,
