C# documentation

[thesadguy]

Hi all.

I've been searching, but haven't turned up anything promising.

Is there any official documentation and / or tutorials for C# comparable to the Java tutorials available at http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/ ?

What is the current version of the .NET Framework SDK ? Am I correct in saying that the .NET Framework SDK will allow me to compile my C# applications and give me access to the standard libraries?

Thanks

Note, csharp is just a language ... you still have to learn the 600 000 DotNet functions and classes and structures created by microsoft to perform the tasks that you want to do.

But, it is my favorite language. Great potential ... just 2 things that I want done differently involving the class constructor and something else ... which I have forgotten about.

.NET SDK installs MSDN library - part of it is tutorial on .NET development. To find plenty of small examples look in Quick Start (if you manage to configure it) or on the web

Not so much, but the places to hang out are www.codeproject.com , www.codeplex.com, www.asp.net (for web dev)

What you need is the Express version of Visual Studio from http://www.microsoft.com/Express/.

The latest version can target different version of the .NET Framework (currently 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 3.0 & 3.5)

MSDN should give you most of what you need.

All you need is a tool like Visual Studio .NET and you're good to go. Try downloading Visual C# Express Edition (free) and start playing around. Also, visit http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/default.aspx for a comprehensive library of samples and APIs for pretty much anything in the .NET Framework.

Yep, also refer to http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/csharpsamples fo C# specific sample and http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/ for various other usefull stuff. You'll also find SQL Server samples on there, but have a look on Codeplex, there is a project specifically for SQL Server samples.
