Other Books

If you have no programming experience, this book will not teach you how to program. Similarly, if you are a programmer but have little or no C# experience, this book does not provide the structure required to teach you how to program effectively in C#. Depending on your programming background and current level of C# knowledge, the following books can teach you enough about C# and the .NET Framework to enable you to get the most from the solutions provided in this book:

• Programming in the Key of C#: A Primer for Aspiring Programmers (Microsoft Press, 2003) Charles Petzold.

• Microsoft Visual C# .NET Step by Step Version 2003 (Microsoft Press, 2002) John Sharp and Jon Jagger.

• Microsoft Visual C# .NET (Core Reference) (Microsoft Press, 2002) Mickey Williams.

If you want to explore topics discussed in this book in more detail, or you want to understand more about the internal operation of the .NET Framework, I recommend the following books:

• Inside C#, Second Edition (Microsoft Press, 2002) Tom Archer and Andrew Whitechapel.

• Applied Microsoft .NET Framework Programming (Microsoft Press, 2002) Jeffrey Richter (Wintellect).

• Essential .NET, Volume 1: The Common Language Runtime (Addison-Wesley, 2002) Don Box and Chris Sells.

• Programming Microsoft Windows with C# (Microsoft Press, 2001) Charles Petzold.

• Programming .NET Security (O'Reilly & Associates, 2003) Adam Freeman and Allen Jones.

• Microsoft ADO.NET (Core Reference) (Microsoft Press, 2002) David Sceppa.

• Advanced .NET Remoting (Apress, 2002) Ingo Rammer.
