Books Info!!

Hi friends,

I am due to start a new project involving delegates and threading in C#
2.0.

I am looking to buy some books covering both the topics in depth. It
may well be books devoted to each of the topics separately or together.
I don't really mind.

Any other pointers to useful resources would be greatly welcome.

Many thanks and regards
Keshav

Here is a repeat of a response from a couple of weeks ago I wrote for someone
else, with some additions.

I can recommend several books that will get you working with 2.0 faster.

For a quick look at the basic differences, there is "Visual C# 2005 A
Developer's Notebook", by Jesse Liberty. Just what is says a workbook, but
will give you a quick look at the basic differences. <additionThis one
won't help with your topics. </addition>

For a REALLY good how-to, I recommend "Practical .NET2 and C#2" by Patrick
Smacchia. VERY good. <addition DEFINITELY GET THIS ONE. A very good
book for work with delegates, and also some good info with threads.
</addition>

For what is going on "under the covers", take a look at "CLR via C#" by
Jeffrey Richter. Extremely good book, especially covers working with
strings, generics, differences between types, and exceptions very well.

<additionI've also found Andrew Troelsen's book, "Pro C# 2005 and the .NET
2.0 Platform", VERY useful, and he does a great job with both your topics.

Damn, smth wrong with me :)
Not generics :)

see
1) Manning - .NET Multithreading
2) CSharp Threading Handbook

but they are for .net 1.1
I've never seen smth .net 2.0 specific.

Joe Duffy(CLR PM) going to publish his .net 2.0 multithreading book in 2007

I've been on a mission this past year to move from VB6 to .Net. I'm fortunate(!?) not to have the big catalog of some long-time VB developers, although I have some CE apps that have to be entirely rewritten in CF. A lot of what I develop has to be written for the PPc, so I knew I would be looking for information in .Net, ADO.Net, CF -- and SQL Server. So in the spirit that others might benefit from my journey, here are my observations....

Hi, I have worked with VB.NET for half a year (semi-newbie). Currently I am looking around for some books for those that crossed the starting hurdle. There are too many books out there-make choosing, a bit of a gamble. If you have experience of good VB.NET books on general and office automattion, you could recommend, it would be greatly appreciated.

At this point I can enter the info, and display the info for 1 book. I'm confused...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
