C# and .NET books Oyvind Bratland13-Feb-02 0:42 Oyvind Bratland 13-Feb-02 0:42  I want to buy two books: One C# book, and one .NET book. Which books should I choose?

According to Amazon its coming out in May. You can read the daily progress in Jeff's BLOG. I am also waiting for a good book on .NET remoting (esp. the internals). As the language C# goes, I had no problem learning it through the MSDN docs. Aside from the .NET framework, C# is little more than syntax. If you know how to utilize the .NET framework you will understand how to program in C# (minus a few minor details). -- Peter Stephens Re: C# and .NET books Oyvind Bratland13-Feb-02 19:57 Oyvind Bratland 13-Feb-02 19:57  I read Jeff's BLOG every day, but May.... it's so long!

Ingo Rammer is writing a book on remoting, titled Advanced .NET Remoting, but like Jeff's it will come out in May as well :-P Ingo's site.

In the mean time, I am reading the source code for the .NET framework (also known as ILDASM) and hacking away. -- Peter Stephens Re: C# and .NET books TigerNinja_18-Feb-02 7:31 TigerNinja_ 18-Feb-02 7:31  I would recommend Programming Windows in C# : Charles Petzold Programming C# - Jesse Liberty and Jeffery Richter has an excellent book out, i think, "Applied .Net Framework Programming" and the one I am holding out for as well is Prosise's book in April. Check out this link Microsoft C# Books I have read "Inside C#" : Archer, it is alright , but somewhat general with no in-depth examples. Good luck ! ============================================= S liant - soliant@yahoo.com Re: C# and .NET books Tom Archer18-Feb-02 15:42 Tom Archer 18-Feb-02 15:42  >>> I have read "Inside C#" : Archer, it is alright , but somewhat general with no in-depth examples <<< The first edition of Inside is a beginner-level book as it was released just a few months after the PDC and what was needed at the time. However, my second edition has much more internals information for the more intermediate to advanced programmer. I've listed the changes on my site if you care to check them out. If you like Jeffrey's book then you'll also like mine as we both had the same editors and go to the same level of detail in our books. Cheers, Tom Archer Author, Inside C# Re: C# and .NET books Oyvind Bratland18-Feb-02 20:18 Oyvind Bratland 18-Feb-02 20:18  When will the second edition of Inside C# be out, then? Re: C# and .NET books Tom Archer19-Feb-02 2:02 Tom Archer 19-Feb-02 2:02  It will be in book stores in May. Since Jeff, Jeffrey and I all write for the same publisher, the books are designed to compliment one another and come out in the same time frame. Jeffrey's just came out a bit earlier because it's much smaller than ours. Cheers, Tom Archer Author, Inside C# Re: C# and .NET books Oyvind Bratland19-Feb-02 2:02 Oyvind Bratland 19-Feb-02 2:02  Hmm... Maybe I'll go for "C# and the .NET platform" by Andrew Troelsen now, and then "Inside C# SE" and the book from Prosise in May. Re: C# and .NET books Tom Archer19-Feb-02 2:13 Tom Archer 19-Feb-02 2:13  Sounds like a plan especially if you need something now. Andrew's book doesn't show as much internals and MSIL, but it's definitely a good book - probably the best intermediate level book on the shelves right now. Cheers, Tom Archer Author, Inside C# Re: C# and .NET books Oyvind Bratland19-Feb-02 2:21 Oyvind Bratland 19-Feb-02 2:21  That's right. I need something now. I have read alot of reviews on Amazon and sample chapters, so it looks like "C# and the .NET platform" is the book for me now. Thanks for your help. Øyvind Re: C# and .NET books Tom Archer19-Feb-02 2:21 Tom Archer 19-Feb-02 2:21  You're welcome. Let us know your progress!

Can anyone enlighten me as to why it doesn't display the table directly? Here is the database code (all this is done in the Form_Load handler)... OleDbConnection conn = new OleDbConnection(); conn.ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" + "User Id=Admin;Password=;" + @"Data Source=C:\Visual Studio Projects\mscale\debug\di-80product.mdb;"; conn.Open(); OleDbDataAdapter adapter = new OleDbDataAdapter(); OleDbCommand selectCmd = new OleDbCommand("SELECT * FROM PRODUCT", conn); adapter.SelectCommand = selectCmd; DataSet ds = new DataSet("ds"); dataGrid1.DataMember = "PRODUCT"; dataGrid1.DataSource = ds; adapter.Fill(ds); Re: Datagrid not behaving paulb13-Feb-02 12:22 paulb 13-Feb-02 12:22  Never mind, figured this one out finally, all it needed was to specify the table name in the Fill method: adapter.Fill(ds, "PRODUCT"); Bingo! works Combobox in listview/datagrid SimonS12-Feb-02 1:18 SimonS 12-Feb-02 1:18  Hi I want to use a combobox in a listview as one of the row items. The user can then see all relevant rows and then select an item from the combobox without my having to use a popup window for this entry. I'm sure this was covered in a teched/MSDN session, but can anyone show me how this is done? Thanks Simon Cheers, Simon X-5 452 rules. Flaky VS.NET Designer Senkwe Chanda11-Feb-02 23:30 Senkwe Chanda 11-Feb-02 23:30  Doesn't it irritate you when seemingly innocuous changes to a control or form render the VS.NET designer useless? Change one little thing and you end up with any number of obscure error messages, my personal favorite "An error occured while loading the document. Fix the error, and then load the document again. The error message follows. Unspecified error" I'm actually getting used to not using the forms designer at all because of this. Has anyone experienced something similar? I'm on RC1 Regards Senkwe Just another wannabe code junky Re: Flaky VS.NET Designer James T. Johnson12-Feb-02 12:17 James T. Johnson 12-Feb-02 12:17  The only time I had the designer do that to me was when something was at fault in my code, especially in the drawing code. If your code throws an uncaught exception this causes the big red x you see in the form. Hopefully this will at least give you some reason as to why you get the designer errors.

Off the top of my head it might be pulling a previous version up; I had a very hard time getting VS.NET to sync the latest build of the control and my test projects. What I wound up doing was having 2 VS.NETs open, one to work on my control the other to do testing with; before I would compile the control I would remove the reference to it from the project; recompile the control then re-add the reference. This was before I found out about project references though, and now I don't have VS.NET installed so I can't see if that solves the problems I was experiencing.

I finally discovered that VS.NET was caching the icons based on the assembly version. I had no AssemblyInfo.cs file (or its equivalent) and so my version stayed at 0.0.0.0 and my icon was not changing. Once I set my version to 1.0.0.* my icons worked properly. Otherwise I have no problem using controls from one project in another project under the same solution and under the same instance of the IDE. I just have to remember to build my control assembly before trying to use it (ie in the Form Designer of another project). -- Peter Stephens Desk Bands and Explorer Bars in C# 11-Feb-02 11:00 11-Feb-02 11:00  How does one create explorer bars and desk bands in C#? The standard library doesn't seem to have this prepackaged. Thanks.
