Beginner C# books for Express edition

[Zen Masta]

An older book I have ws written with vs.net 2002 in mind and unfortunely one
of my discs is scratched so I can't install anymore. I find it hard to
follow because it mainly uses the command prompt to compile and from what I
can tell Visual C# Express doensn't have a command prompt like the edu
version I have of VS.net

So, I'm looking for a totaly beginner programming book that would work for
someone using express edition. Not new to using computers but just
programming c#
I searched amazon.com for c# express and found a couple of books and this
was one of them
http://tinyurl.com/ltesw

It says step by step and it is getting good reviews from users so that
sounds appealing. The only thing though is I dont want to get road blocked
again if I find out the book isn't express friendly. I would appreciate any
feedback from someone who might know anything about this book or has any
other book recommendations for a beginner using vsexpress.

Thanks
