C# and the .NET Platform

by Andrew Troelsen

C# is the native language for Microsofts .NET platform. In this book, Andrew Troelsen shows you how to use C# for developing virtually every possible kind of .NET application. From Windows-based to Web-based applications, it's all here. This book includes detailed discussions of every aspect of .NET development and useful examples with real code.

Relentlessly practical and complete, C# and the.NET Platform begins with a brief overview of the C# language and then quickly moves to the key technical and architectural issues facing .NET developers. Troelsen covers the .NET framework intensively, and even includes coverage of trickier areas, such as proper thread usage. You will learn to use C# for graphical user interface applications, and you'll receive a complete discussion of Windows Forms and GDI+. This book contains useful discussions on how to use C# and .NET for Web development, Web Services, and data access using ADO.NET. Troelsen even includes complete coverage of the subtler issues involving .NET and COM interoperability.

Think the days of disassembly are over? Think again! Troelson teaches you bout the .NET and the CLR by using command line tools to disassemble simple C# programs and shows you how the technolgy works from the inside. His style is engaging and the book is well-organized.

A very good book for learning both C# the language, and the structure and purpose of the .NET framework. Some of his writing will become dated in time (with over-used, meaningless terms like 'leverage'), but the contents are complete and accurate.
