new to C# (but with good experience on VC++), can someone point me to a good
book on C#?

Thanks!
 
I am in a similar situation and recently picked up "Professional C#"
published by Wiley Publishing. I liked it. The book is a bit too thick (1356
pages) but that is understandable because in addition to C# it goes into
description of many pieces of .NET that you end up using day in and day out
while programming in C#. Out of 32 chapters only 10 are devoted to the core
C# itself.
 
I had the same background and went for "C# and the .NET platform" under
APress collection. This is really a gold mine.

If you have good strong programming experience "The C# Programming
Language" by Heijlsberg, Wiltamuth & Golde is good. Is concise, is
authoritative (they are three fifths of the original design team for C#),
and the book won't go out of date when C# v2 is released.

Apart from the suggestions you have already received, one of my
favourites is "C# Programmers Cook Book" http://tinyurl.com/6xjfu the
thing I love about this book is that, most of the time I don't want a
reference guide, what I want is a practical example, and this book is
basically a big book of examples, its easily my most referred to C#
book.

Yes, and it's also a great sedative for those nights when you can't sleep.
;-)

We used that as one book for the C# Academy course. It is concise and
accurate for sure. Should make great reading for a C++ developer.
