Ebook: Microsoft Visual C# .Net Step by Step

Normally, I'd pick up a tech book like this one and use it and never comment. However, I found this book to be so useless, I feel compelled to comment. (Btw, I'm developing in VS 2005, desktop apps) I've been writing code for over 20 years and have learned (on-the-fly) more than a dozen languages, op sys, networks, etc. Bought this book as a beginner of c# - picked it up at least 10 times to look for something and never once found what I was looking for. If you're new to c#, get a different book. Also, there is plenty of help on and offline. The VS "intellisense" is the most helpful tool. I'm now, after a year, an accomplished C#/.net programmer, no thanks to this book. It is going in the trash as soon as I send this.
