    Hi all, Can anyone recommend a good C#/.NET tutorial (online or print) for an old MFC guy? I have been programming C++/MFC for a long while and the time has come for me to bite the bullet and switch to C#/.NET. Maybe it would be a good idea for The Code Project to have a contest for such a tutorial. Maybe it already exists but I don't know where it is. Thanks in advance, Julberto

      How do you do that? I mean just know where things are? I would like to do that also, I'm kind of tired of having to actually look for things in order to find them.

        Troelsen's[^] book is excellent, and well worth the money.

          I recommend a course of meditation, courage in your convictions and a trust that there are no new things under the sun. Also, it'll always be in the first place you thought of to look. :)

                          Seconded - I have this book and find it to be very clear at explaining concepts as well as being excellent reference material

                          It definitely isn't definatley

                              You don't need a book. All the info you need is on the internet, and you can look for it as you need it. I made EXACTLY the same switch in August. C# isn't so different from C++, and the most difficult part of the whole process is becoming familiar with the .Net framework. You'll find yourself writing code that already exists in the framework, but that's how you learn - by doing.

                                  Personally when I made the transition it was one of the few times in my life I found a book to actually be helpful: A programmers introduction to C#[^] I highly recommend this book because doing the online research and tutorials it will be easy to get quickly buried in the details of the .net framework itself without really getting a good grounding in the fundamentals. This book is designed precisely to do that and do it for experienced c++ programmers making the transition much much easier.

                                    I still "slag it" in the forums. I hate and despise .net (and the whole idea and theory behind it), but I'm being forced to code it in order to earn a pay check. Just cause I'm doing something doesn't mean I have to like it (or pretend that I like it).

                                      Hi all, Can anyone recommend a good C#/.NET tutorial (online or print) for an old MFC guy? I have been programming C++/MFC for a long while and the time has come for me to bite the bullet and switch to C#/.NET. Maybe it would be a good idea for The Code Project to have a contest for such a tutorial. Maybe it already exists but I don't know where it is. Thanks in advance, Julberto
