Explains how to develop .NET software with the C# language and the framework class library (FCL). The team of six authors first walks through the C# structure of methods and arrays, classes and objects, inheritance, polymorphism, exception handling, the graphical user interface, multithreading, graphics, and files. The second half of the guide introduces XML, ADO.NET, ASP.NET, streams-based sockets, and the mobile internet tool kit. Much of the material is derived from the C# how to program textbook.
