CSharp Cookbook 2nd Edition

C# is a language targeted at developers for the Microsoft .NET platform who have already worked with a C-like language such as C, C++, or Java. Unlike previous versions of C or C++ for the Microsoft Windows platform, C# code runs under a managed execution environment. While C and C++ developers using Visual Studio .NET can write managed code using Managed C++, C# offers a middle path between C++'s overall power but sometimes difficult code and the higher-level task orientation provided by Visual Basic .NET. Microsoft portrays C# as a modern and innovative language for .NET development that will be familiar to current C++ programmers while allowing more runtime control over the executing code.
C# allows you to perform many C/C++-like functions such as direct memory access via pointers and operator overloading that are not supported in Visual Basic .NET. C# is the system-level programming language for .NET. You can still do great application-level work in C#, but it really shines when you need to build code a little closer to the Framework.
