Another book recommendation request. I've looked through the old archives but
can't find any consensus at all. I'm currently a C++ developer, and I know that
on the C++ newsgroups there is a general consensus among the top handful of best
books, depending on your experience level and needs. Maybe because C#/.NET is
younger, I haven't noticed it yet for this technology. What do you recommend
for a professional C++/OO developer who will be switching to C#/.NET development
for the first time in a new job on a partially implemented product? (I do not
know which parts of .NET are used most heavily on the project.)

I don't think there is any one book that will tell you everything. I have
found the following useful:
* Inside C#, 2nd Ed. by Tom Archer
* Applied Microsoft .NET Framework Programming by Jeffrey Richter
* Advanced .NET Remoting (C# edition) by Ingo Rammer
* Mastering Regular Expressions by Jeffrey E.F. Friedl (there is a section
that deals exclusively with .NET Regexes)
* Essential ASP.NET with examples in C# by Fritz Onion
* Windows Forms Programming in C# by Chris Sells
That's a short list. I'm sure other developers have their own list of books
that helped them to get started. If you're feeling particularly ambitious,
you might even try to tackle the C# Language Spec: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...pSpecStart.asp
HTH,
Jon
P.s. -- I, too, was a C++ dev before moving to C#/.NET. It's a pretty
painless process.

I knew that was a mistake as soon as I sent it :-) I'd take 2 or 3...... I
guess part of the problem is my local bookstore doesn't carry most of these
books, so it's hard to determine the differences between coverage of C# language
per se, vs. .NET framework, vs. Visual Studio mechanics, vs. ASP etc etc I'd
take 2 books with some combination of good coverage of the language, .NET
framework, and Visual Studio usage. I've seen Richter's book mentioned more
than once.
I buy most of mine through Amazon. They generally have a TOC for the books
that you can browse through before buying it. Also, check the publisher's
Web site.

You can get a lot of the information on C# from the sample chapters
available.
Yeah, but the problem is I don't know which chapters I want in a book :-)

I need to create a simple program launcher which runs off of cd and

a program off of the cd. It must also check the values in an ini

The launcher program must run on all versions of Windows.
I have read that C++ and Delphi are the only two languages which could
reliably accomplish this task. I have tried Delphi and it worked well
but my employer does not want to pay Borland's license fee.

Hello,
I'm currently attending a university majoring in Computer Science.
I took C and C++ at a community college and got an A in both
classes. That was three years ago. I have not programmed or
anything like that in three years. I want to get back into the
programming scene so I have a question: Which should I relearn
first, C or C++? I have forgotten a lot about both languages so
please tell me which i should relearn first!

Hi,
I'm really confused; Visual C++ comes in so many flavors that I don't

Here is the text that isn't complete true I think. It says:

that is, null has been assigned to the variable, then accessing Value will

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
