Visual C# 2005 Recipes: A Problem-Solution Approach

By Matthew MacDonald, Allen Jones, Rakesh Rajan

To master .NET development is as much about understanding the functionality of the .NET Framework as it is about the syntax and grammar of your chosen language. Visual C# 2005 Recipes was written specifically for the .NET 2.0 platform. It draws on its heritage in Microsoft Press' successful C# Programmers Cookbook and builds on it to create an up-to-date reference for .NET 2.0 programmers.

When you have a problem on the job, reach for this book, because it contains a recipe that provides the solution -- or at least point you in the right direction. Even if you are simply looking to broaden your knowledge of the .NET Framework class library, Visual C# 2005 Recipes is the perfect resource to assist you.

Excellent material

I find myself reaching for this book all the time for answers to common problems. I have never read this from cover to cover but simply use it as reference and it has come through for me 99% of the time. I highly recommend this book.

Learn .NET from a problem-solving perspective

.NET adoption has increased tremendously in the past few years, and the Framework itself has gone thru changes as well. It is not uncommon to come across an end-to-end solution, from front to back, all developed in the .NET framework. I must say, Microsoft has surprised many of us with the complexity and power of the .NET framework and more specifically the C# programming language. For those of us whom are familiar with...

Nice C# Recipes Guide

Much like the 'Cookbooks' series by O'Reilly, the Apress 'recipes' books are a mix of different techniques and common solutions to common problems that you will find. 'Visual C# 2005 Recipes: A Problem-Solution Approach' by Allen Jones and Matthew McDonald does exactly what it says it will, looking at a wide range of topics and providing over 200 tidbits that will help C# programmers of all levels! This book weighs in at...

Very useful recipes with updates for .Net 2.0

I agree with a previous reviewer in that some duplication exists between this book and Allen Jones' previous C# Cookbook. But this work includes important updates to the recipes relevant to C# 2.0. For example, some of the security and cryptography techniques have changed, and the approach for calling a webmethod asynchronously is different. I therefore definitely recommend this publication to anyone doing professional...

A Universal Tool for My .NET Toolbox

I've been developing with .NET since 2002 and C# has been my primary language for over two years now. In my opinion, Jones and McDonald have assembled a highly useful reference for serious C# developers. There's no filler or MSG here! In each chapter the authors have setup real-world "problems" with accompanying solutions and explanations. I've had this book for several weeks and I've already cooked up quite a few of these...
