Product Description

With "C# Cookbook, 2nd Edition," you'll be able to learn and improve your mastery of both the C# language and the .NET platform. This updated bestseller has been completely revised to account for C# 2.0, the latest version of this popular object-oriented programming language. It also includes more than 100 new code solutions (over 300 overall) to common problems and tasks that you're sure to face as a C# programmer.

Nearly every solution, or "recipe," contains a complete, documented code sample showing you how to solve the specific problem, as well as a detailed discussion of how and why the underling technology works. This question-solution-discussion format is a proven teaching method, as any fan of O'Reilly's "Cookbook" series can attest to. In fact, no other source offers a learn-as-you-go format quite like this.

"C# Cookbook, 2nd Edition" is organized into 20 chapters, each of which focuses on a particular topic in creating C# solutions. Here are just some of what's covered: Numeric data types Strings and characters Classes and structures Generics Exception handling Delegates, events, and anonymous methods Filesystem interactions Web site access XML usage (including XPath and XSLT) Networking Threading Unsafe code

Best of all, you don't have to be an experienced C# or .NET developer to use "C# Cookbook, 2nd Edition," You just have to be someone who wants to solve a problem now, without having to learn all the related theory first.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great addition to your C# library, April 22 2004

By	ueberhund "ueberhund" (Salt Lake City, UT United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: C# Cookbook (Paperback)

This is a really cool book. Skim through it, and you'll see that all the hard stuff you want to do in .NET or C# are all in one book. You'll find some general computer science algorithms implemented in C#, and you'll find other things that are simply C# specific. I'd highly recommend any professional C# programmer adding this to their reference library.

The book contains a chapter for each of various C# objects. Beginning with numbers, the book continues through strings, classes, delegates, collections, I/O, threading, and XML to name a few. Some examples of "recipes" you'll find include how to improve string builder performance, issues with bit-shifting, adding notification callbacks, rolling back object changes, determining whether a process has stopped responding, and validating XML.

Like many of O'Reilly's other "cookbook" reference books, this book can be read from cover to cover, but it's really designed like a cookbook. The idea is to flip thorough each recipe in a specific section until you find one that fits what you're trying to do. While reading through this book, I came across five or six answers to various different problems I'm currently addressing in my own C# work. This is a definite must-have to your library.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Reference, Feb 26 2004

By	Steven A. Smith (Kent, OH United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: C# Cookbook (Paperback)

I found this book to be very usable. As the author of the ASP.NET Developer's Cookbook, which used the same format, I found this book to be very easy to pick up and browse for useful topics. I found quite a few. I've posted a detailed review on my website, AspAlliance.com, here:
