this isn't a question....but.... i've just ordered and am waiting for the Wrox Press Professional C# Third Edition to come out on the 16th:-D,- anybody else got or getting this or something like it? i've always quite liked books by wrox: normally clear, with good examples, ideas, and covering a wide range of stuff in depth. :cool: any suggestions for any future books on C# by any of you lot? any you've read and would recommend? i'm mainly interested in forms, gdi+, controls &etc. not so much in databases but all comments welcome... :rolleyes: ------------------------------------------------------- ithium is the best.

Why print it out? It's online and possible to search. If you want an offline copy, get the MSDN Library subscription, a mere $199 for the first year and only $99/year after that. MSDN is a comprehensive reference - books are not (unless you get those that are a compendium). If you can't understand the APIs, frameworks, or concepts from the reference, then you probably do need someone else (i.e., a book author) to explain it to you.

I saw the cinicism in it, but it seemed like you were saying that MSDN is not a good reference because it's so big. Believe it or not, many people have said that... "Oh, I haven't looked because there's too much stuff." Sorry. :-O

Havn't thought about that. I try to convince everybody all the time that it's better to read online, but most people still seem to think that printing out or buying books is better. -- - Free Windows-based CMS: www.zeta-software.de/enu/producer/freeware/download.html - See me: www.magerquark.de - MSN Messenger: uwe_keim@hotmail.com
