Product Description
Professional C# 2005 prepares you to program in C#, and it provides the necessary background information on how the .NET architecture works. It provides examples of applications that use a variety of related technologies, including database access, dynamic web pages, advanced graphics, and directory access. The only requirement is that you are familiar with at least one other high-level language used on Windows—either C++, VB, or J++.

It starts with a tutorial on C# and the .NET framework. This introduction assumes no prior knowledge of .NET, but it does move rapidly, on the assumption that the reader is an experienced programmer. Once this background knowledge is established, the book starts to sweep through the vast .NET class library, showing how you can use C# to solve various tasks.  This comprehensive coverage is one of the key selling points of previous versions of the book, and is maintained and enhanced with this new edition by adding new chapters on Generics, ObjectSpaces, Yukon, and Indigo. Some reference material is included either as appendices or is available to download from the Wrox website.

After the introduction and initial chapter, the book is divided into a number of sections that cover both the C# language and its application in a variety of areas. Coverage includes:

  • Writing Windows applications and Windows services
  • Writing web pages and web services with ASP.NET
  • Manipulating XML using C# 2005
  • Understanding .NET Assemblies
  • Using ADO.NET to access databases
  • Integration with COM, COM+, and Active Directory
  • Distributed applications with .NET Remoting
  • Generating graphics using C# 2005
  • Accessing files and the Registry, and controlling .NET security

2 out of 5 starsDoes not *MENTION* LINQ, 2008-12-04
This is several books in one, (six authors). Doesn't even MENTION LINQ, also misses KEY C# features like iterators, object initializers, query expressions, anonymous types, etc.

5 out of 5 starsThe best book I know about C# 2005, 2008-09-12
This book can be used to learn C# .net when you have a basic knowledge of another .net language (in my case C++.net and Visual Basic.net). Each chapter has a lot of samples. These can be downloaded, and are perfect base to extend these for your own use.
For all subjects I needed the last 2 years I found helpfull samples.
The book is also great for a reference.

3 out of 5 starsLook at the Cover!, 2008-02-08
Those guys on the cover actually wrote this book! What a bunch of geeks.., er I mean, professionals. When you have to know this kind of stuff, these are the kind of people you need to ask. I expect to be mining information from this book for years to come.

1 out of 5 starsNot Helpful, 2007-12-23
I have been programming for quit a while in Visual Basic 5.0. I purchased Visual Studio 2005 recently and wanted to try to program in C#. The main problem I have with this book is that all most all of the code examples are for Console application. I don't know why you would want to program in Console applications. I want to make Windows programs, not Console applications. I lost interest in chapter 10 when the code was still Console examples. Maybe I'm wrong in this, but I think all the code should be for Windows applications not Console applications.
