Customer Reviews

With high practical value

I find the more I know the internal of C#, the more I like this book---------if you're a beginer, then come to this book later.

Perfect for Visual Basic Programmers Interested in C#

If you are a Visual Basic programmer, and you are interested in C#, this is the book for you. All of the examples are presented from the perspective of a Visual Basic programmer, and they are extremely helpful. Additionally, the author was able to provide an unbiased assessment of C#, which I appreciated. C# has flaws, and it is helpful to know them. I also like the format of this book. I am able to find the information for which I am looking with ease. You can also download all of the code that is used within the book - a huge time saver. There are a number of good books on C#, but if you are a Visual Basic programmer, making the switch, this should be on your bookshelf.

Easy to use

I think I own every C# book ... Until now, I could not find one that explained the how and why of reflection. The book has examples that work and that make sense. I own Wrights Visual C++ book. I hope he writes one for ASP.

Found It! Discussion on Events and Delegates

Have been through a myriad of .NET books and could not find a good discussion of delegates and how to use them. This book has a chapter and ready to run code that puts events and event handling to use. Delegates finally make sense.Wish the book had a CD ... the software is online ... could be easier to get to

Code works -- goes beyond the basics

Book is filled with example working programs -- Wright introduces a concept and then builds on it -- I was able to cut and paste a bunch of working code into my own examples.Doesn't bog down in the basics -- assumes you know how to drive the Visual Studio -- presents tools unique to C#.The deployment info was good. Would like to see more on ASP.NET
