I agree that MSDN is pretty much like reading an encyclopedia. Lots of accurate, detailed information, but drier than stale beef jerky. Sounds to me like you're looking for something similar to what I'm after. I have been considering taking a C# class at our local community college, but I'd prefer something I can do at home on my free time (and schedule). I've already read and experimented with most of the projects in a book called Head First C#. That's pretty much how I taught myself the basics. I am now using Professional C# 2005 (another book) as my go-to reference for my on-the-job projects here at FlightSafety (Broken Arrow, OK). If you find a web site or another book that's a more advanced version of Head First C#, please let me know! Thanks.

I think Head Frist C# is a great book for learning C#. I was going to get it but c# 6.0 is coming out and maybe it will do a new book for it. They should make a Pro or advanced version. I got books like 'Pro c# and the .NET framework' and it was interesting but even after finishing it I would not really be confident in writing a solution from scratch. Some of the tutorials here on codeproject are more tuned in to what I need than what Microsoft came up with

I agree. Well, then... I guess we will just have to keep our fingers crossed (or keep looking).

hey do you have the book c# 2013 step by step by Microsoft ? let me know if you want it

Hi there! Looks like a good learning book. I had a look at the free PDF of Chapter 1 and 10, but I found it to be a little too Windows 8 and Visual Studio 2013 centric. We use Windows 7 and VS 2012 here at work. Does the rest of the book read more as a progressive tutorial, or more like a reference book? How much do want for it?

That's only a sample! Nobody can learn all about C# by reading only chapters 1 and 10. That's why I asked about the rest of the book.

How do you check PMs (Private Messages) in Code Project?

Thank you! Got the entire book. I had to download it from home, since your site was blocked at work.

I have a windows form app, that uses a timer, to update a progress in an infinite loop. After some time, the app hangs and I have to force close it. I need a way to queue the process or any other way, for the app to do something and until the app reaches a certain percent, it should change action.
What I mean is that it should remain doing the first action until the app reaches a certain percent and then change the action, and fix my app from hanging.
Can someone please help me?
Thanks.

Not without seeing the code. Your explanation doesn't provide any usable information to be able to help you much.

It sounds to me like you are trying to solve the wrong problem. Rather than changing the action, why not diagnose why the app is hanging in the first place and fixing that problem? This sounds to me like a much more productive use of your time.

I just fixed it, by using a background worker.
Thanks for your help.

Without more details, I don't think we can assist you.
1. What is the "process" you refer to: A Thread ? Another Application started with Process.Start ? A while loop running on your main App Thread ?
1.a. Assuming the process is a Thread: what type of Thread; how did you start it ? Does the thread call-back to your main App thread ?
2. What exactly do you mean "update a progress" ? Update a Progress Bar UI element ?
Try to be as clear and specific as possible about what you are doing now.

I worked, for a application that needs to display a lot of data in DataGridView (1000000 Data) But when I run my application the waiting time is 11 minutes.I would like to reduce the waiting time.
I read on the internet that allows virtual mode to launch the application quickly.
But I have not found a tutorial that allows me to do his.
thank you for Help

I've used them in the past to implement virtual mode. Where did you get stuck? What part requires more instructions?

Do you really need to display a million rows to your users? I would suggest that you'll have more success improving performance if you can come up with an alternative view of your data that's more suited to your users needs. I often hear this type of requirement but when you show the users that amount of data they realise that it's completely unworkable.

|
|
yes I have to show as much data.
|
|
|
|
|
I seriously doubt that.
But, Virtual mode[^] is pretty much your only solution.

Then I feel pity for your users.
How long do you think it is going to take a user to find the one entry in all those 1,000,000 display items that he is interested it? Long enough to uninstall your app with extreme prejudice if they are anything like me!
Page it, filter it, search it - but don't try to show the user more than a couple of hundred items!
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...
