"In this book, author Venkat Subramaniam documents and explains 75 pitfalls, or gotchas, that can trip up even the most experienced C# or VB.NET programmer. Many of these are mental, the inevitable result of expectations programmers bring from other environments; others are oddities of the .NET languages, compilers, or the Framework itself." Each gotcha is fully explained, and VB.NET and C# code examples are used to reveal how false assumptions can often lead to unexpected results. Complete solutions show you how to avoid the most common mistakes, and concise "In a Nutshell" summaries and "See Also" references round out each discussion.
