      None of 'em. Go buy Inside C# 2nd edition by Tom Archer. That's the best book for learning C#...ever. :-D

          I like "C# Essentials" by O'Reilly press, "Developing Applications with Visual Studio .NET" by Grimes, and Gunnerson's C# book to some extent. For Windows Forms I like ".NET Windows Forms in a Nutshell" from O'Reilly, and Petzold's "Programming Windows with C#". Windows Forms is so vast that while both of these books are big, neither comes close to covering the whole thing. I did not like Archer's book at all.

            A s h wrote: I did not like Archer's book at all. :omg: Blasphemy!!! ;P Just kidding :), different people have different styles of learning. Tom's style of teaching may not be the best for everybody. I recommend going to your local Borders or Barnes & Noble and skimming the book to see if it's right for you.

              whatever you do, avoid Windows Forms Programming with C# by Erik Brown Its one of those books where every example builds on the previous example's code. Horrible, horrible idea. It's like the opposite of the perl cookbook. "Outside of a dog, a book is Man’s best friend. And inside of a dog, it’s too dark to read." -Groucho Marx
