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.
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and the book won't go out of date when C# v2 is released.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.
Regards Tim.
