    Hi Does anyone know of a good book that actually has C# Coding in it to use as a good reference book. Thanks.

      Almost all of them, provided they do not have multiple exclamation marks, the words "for dummies" or the word "in x days" in the title. Have a look the the Wrox[^] selection, or Addison-Wesley[^]

        CLR via C# is a very good book if you want to spend learning more time about the internals of the .Net framework (rather than the programming language itself).

            When this came up a month ago or so (again), I did a bit of research and found an excellent book. In fact, I bought it myself. The OP that time was looking for a book that included exercises and answers, just like a real textbook, and this one has them. The one thing it lacks, which might be a good thing for a beginner, is much coverage of data access. Although that's most of what I want to master, lengthy discussions of ADO really detract from learning the fundamentals of the language, and are better left to specialty books. It does an outstanding job of teaching the essentials of the language, and is specifically targeted for Visual Studio development for Windows. Although I've been writing functional, if not fancy, apps in C# for years, I've learned a bunch from this text, and hope to spend some quality time with it soon. It's published by Wrox Press (unsurprising, as they produce some of the best programming books available, consistently), and entitled "Beginning Visual C# 2010." The ISBN is 978-0-470-50226-6, and it's available at Amazon. It's also dirt cheap.

              The MSDN C# Language Reference[^] is all you need, then. Most pages have sample code, as well. Whew! I had to click twice - once to get to Google, and the other to get the page - to find that for you. I'm pooped... time for bed.

                    I go with Abhinav, CLR via C# is still best book for me. If you do not have concept clear, example does less of purpose.

                          The "In a Nutshell" books from O'Reilly are fantastic, as has been mentioned. They're great if you want a mixture of reference/examples. They cover a huge number of the libraries in the .NET framework, and also have great little example applications you can try too. Definitely worth having in your library.

                            I'm going to go slightly different here and recommend Jon Skeet's C# in Depth book. Have a look at Jon's site here[^].

Is aimed at those with some .net, visual basic, C# exposure and speaks in patterns and english. 2. Is straightforward Application tutorial using C# 3. Is a comprehensive tutorial for beginners, one I reccomend. .

                                O'Reilly is having a sale on 40 books 50% off which lasts until midnight 6/14. 1. the "In a nutshell" for C# 5 is listed (mentioned by other posters) 2. C# 5 pocket reference 3. Head First C# 4. Programming C#5 I haven't read any of them, but maybe someone else can comment on them specifically? (and #2 is a reference which you indicated an interest in) http://shop.oreilly.com/category/deals/teched-celebration.do?imm_mid=08aa90&cmp=em-npa-books-videos-celebration-teched-direct[^] discount code = CFTECHED Oh, and the pages says "Save 50% - In Celebration of TechEd North America" so I don't think I'm giving out a secret by passing on the code. (And no, I didn't get it from anyone at TechEd either :-)) HTH
