I have very solid experience in VB 6.0. I also have good knowledge about
Object Oriented concepts. I want to convert myself into c# expert. Can anyone
here suggest me a book to follow.

Thanks

c# and the .NET plattform by andrew troelsen. (apress)

This book is one of the best beginners books in C# i've read.

I would suggest virtually any C# book for starters - C# in a Nutshell
was what I used, although there are various mistakes in it. It doesn't
matter too much - it needs to be just enough to get you the basics.

Then comes the bit which is more hard work, but very rewarding: hang
around on this newsgroup, and answer questions. When someone posts a
question you don't know the answer to, but are interested in, research
it. If it's a language question, check it in the C# language
specification. If it's a framework question, hunt out the relevant
classes on MSDN, etc.

That way you end up learning and helping people at the same time - and
possibly most importantly, you'll probably end up writing lots of code.

That's pretty much how I learned both Java and C#. Maybe it's not for
everyone, but I think it's a great way of learning.

You don't need a book. Just start with MSDN's "C# Programming", which
explains various C# features by examples (it covers .NET 2.0):

That's how I learnt C#. For advanced topics, you need to read the
framework reference, google usenet, and use Reflector for .NET (free -

A book has the advantage that you get an overview of the relevant issues and
how they hang together. Have a look at the O'Reilly books; Mayo's book is
rather good as well: C# unleashed. Most books have code per issue that you
can download from the Web and study, if you want to go an alternative route.
But then again, a bit of context to place it all in, won't do you any harm

Books have one massive advantage - you can read them in the bath :-)

I always drop em in the tub when i'm taking a bath, and it's hard to shampoo
your hair while reading... ;)
 
before u go out a buy any books I recommend you check out this link,
these guys are top notch developers and they know what they are talking
about,
http://www.accu.org/index.htm

They have a distant number of C# books they have recommended. Good
detail in what to expect in each book, good place to find out if the
book is too begineer, most books say they are advance, but a lot of
times its not true..
 
lols, fun stuff once in a while...
