c# books

I normally program in c, c++ using win32 (not MFC). I now need to learn c# using Visual Studio 2010/2012. As there are loads of books available about c#, please would you advise which are the ones recommended (or avoided!)

No need for a book; just use the internet. Here is a general tutorial: link and here is a discussion that make be helpful based on your C/C++ experience: link

Hope that helps!

I find the books from APress to be good. They're well written and relevant to the topic. You can also get them in PDF format which is what I do.

Thanks:). That's just what I'm looking for. I've also found the c# language specification document tucked away in the Microsoft Visual Studio nested folders which is a great help.

Incidentially I've come across c++/cli of which I was not aware. Is this any good/recommended and is it worth the trouble pursuing it or just go all out for c#?

Not too much experience with C++/CLI. However, I encourage you to just go for C#. The syntax seems (to my eye) cleaner without significant loss of performance.

Here are some good reference for your needs
