I'm interested in Programming Windows with C# (Core Reference) by
Charles Petzold, but do you think that the new version of C# (along with
.NET 2.0) will make this book obsolete in any way?

Thanks for all that info. I'll be sure to check out the new stuff for
2.0 as well.

The author's web site has the following web page for "Programmin g
Windows With C#":
http://www.charlespetzold.com/pwcs/index.html
Even without the change from .NET 1.1 to .NET 2.0, one could argue
that "Programmin g Windows With C#" is obsolete due to the need to
correct the errors. A 2nd edition is forthcoming if the past is any
indication as Charles Petzold has "Programmin g Windows" up to the
5th edition. When? I do not know.
I side-stepped your question because your question can be broken
down into parts. 1) What are the C# language changes from .NET 1.x
to .NET 2.0? 2) What are the changes in the classes from .NET 1.x
to .NET 2.0?
Since I am in the process of learning C# with the experience from
other software programming languages, I can only give a gut feel
answer to these questions ...
For item 1 above, if you have been monitoring the newsgroup, the
CSharpFinalWork ingDraftApril20 05.pdf document was identified for
download in the following article for your analysis:
http://groups-beta.google.com/group/...e=source&hl=en
There is also web pages such as the following:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vcsharp/20...rp_preview.asp
My gut feel is that the C# language changes from .NET 1.x to .NET
2.0 has little or no impact on "Programmin g Windows With C#". One
change may be to use Anonymous Methods wherever possible to help
make the code examples read easier, but I do not see such a change
as needed. However, some of the new C# language aspects should be
included in "Programmin g In the Key Of C#", for example, Generics.
For item 2 above, I have not seen a concise list of the changes in-
volving the classes, and I would like to see one. Maybe someone
knows of such a list.
When I was programming in Java, the word "deprecated " was the term
to mean that some class or method was becoming obsoleted. One ap-
proach was for the Java compiler to issue a warning when a depre-
cated class or method was used in a compile. After wandering around
microsoft.com using google searches, I did google searches using
the following phrases and got a few hits:
"This class has been deprecated."
"This method has been deprecated."
"This property has been deprecated."
From what I have seen from those hits and after using portions of
"Programmin g Windows With C#", my gut feel is that the changes in
the classes from .NET 1.x to .NET 2.0 have no impact on "Programm-
ing Windows with C#".
If you have finished with "Programmin g in the Key of C#", then you
are ready for "Programmin g Windows With C#".

The MCAD books by Amit Kalani are great! They teach the core areas of
..NET, but you'll need another book to learn the C# language: I like
Programming C# by Jesse Liberty for that.

Just got Liberty's book. After I finish the one I'm reading, I'll start
on it. I'm looking forward to it. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

I purchased "Pointers on C" online and just received the book. The
pages look like they have been poorly photocopied, not the quality I
would expect from a $73 book. My question is, to those that have the
book, is your copy the same or was I hood-winked?
Yes, I know this is off-topic but I thought it would be the best place
to ask since I know people here have the book.
Thanks,

Along with events and delegates, polymorphism has been something I sort
of struggle with every now and then. First, let me quote the book I'm
reading:
"Polymorphism is most useful when you have two or more derived classes
that use the same base class. It allows you to write generic code that
targets the base class rather than having to write specific code for
each object type."
And here is the example in the book:

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
