Professional C#, Second Edition

Summary: The first place I look for answers
Review: This book is the best book I have found on C# to date. It covers such a wide range of topics that almost anything you could want to look up is in it.
Another thing about this book is although it covers advanced C# topics it also spends the first 300 or so pages introducing you to the language and some of its guidelines.
In Feb 2002 I was told I would be switching from VB6 to C# that day and we were no longer going to be writing anything in VB6, so I bought this book and now it is my C# Bible.

Summary: As good as it gets!
Review: This is truly a useful book, and my primary reference in parallel with the MSDN documentation. That is, it does not merely parrot the C# documentation, but supplements it. It gives behind-the-scenes insights, as well as useful application examples and snippets. It's as good as a 1272 page book on this expansive subject can get.
