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:

HTH,

P.s. -- I, too, was a C++ dev before moving to C#/.NET. It's a pretty
painless process.

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.)
