This book provides in-depth examination of the C# language as used in .NET development for both .NET 1.1 and 2.0. Developers migrating to C# will find this a quick and easy-to-use reference, and new programmers will take home deeper understanding of the concepts needed to apply C# to real-world programming needs. This is the type of book you'll never want to be without, providing essential guidance to using C# for accomplishing real-world tasks in technologies including COM Interop, I/O, Directory Services, ADO.NET, networking, threading, debugging, Remoting, Web Services, and ASP.NET.
This book also covers features new to C# 2.0, such as Generics, Anonymous Methods, Iterators, and new methods of exising Framework classes. Becoming familiar with these concepts will be an advantage to any C# developer making the leap from 1.1 to 2.0.
C# Programmer’s Handbook is a complete description of the C# language as used in .NET development for both the current version of .NET (version 1.1) and the version of .NET due out in late 2004 (version 2.0). This is the only book that will include full coverage of C# 2.0 features such as generics for the foreseeable future (next 6 months). MacBeth is a Microsoft insider who has been working with the Whidbey release internally since its conception. Addressed to experienced programmers, this book will remain extremely useful to current users of .NET 1.1 even if they have only limited curiosity about .NET 2.0.
