Overview
Get the essential, straightforward information you need to master the core capabilities of Visual C# 2005. Both new and experienced developers get expert guidance, hands-on programming instruction, and practical examples to help advance their proficiency in developing applications for Microsoft Windows and the Web.
Discover how to:
- Refine class usage with inheritance, polymorphism, and other strategies
- Implement generics to define a type-safe data structure
- Work with stacks, queues, arrays, dictionaries, and other collections
- Use iterators to implement and standardize enumerator patterns
- Know when to catch exceptions—and handle them locally or propagate them
- Interrogate metadata and facilitate late binding by using reflection
- Synchronize threads with locks, events, mutexes, and other tools

From Barnes & Noble
The Barnes & Noble ReviewIf you’re upgrading to C# 2005, .NET 2.0, and Visual Studio 2005, Donis Marshall’s authoritative, thorough guidebook will help you make the most of them all.
Marshall starts with the core language, elegantly introducing key concepts like namespaces, types, classes, and inheritance. Next, he introduces Visual Studio 2005 -- including high-value new features like refactoring support. You’ll discover how to access powerful C# and .NET platform features like collections, generics, iterators, delegates, and events. You’ll master memory management, and learn how to work smoothly with "unsafe" code. And you’ll learn exactly how (and how not) to use exceptions.
There’s a full section of techniques for writing better code, such as using metadata and reflection to avoid versioning (and other) problems and debugging with VS '05 (including Just-in-Time debugging). The language, the platform, the IDE: all covered nicely together, in one book. Bill Camarda, from the March 2006 Read Only
