A balanced, easy-to-understand introduction to Visual C#'s powerful features. -- Visual C# has been launched to inherently work with tools in the .NET Framework and this guide explains C# clearly and concisely within that very context. -- To date there are few guides like The Complete Idiot's Guide "RM" to Visual C# which teach C# along with an in-depth explanation of programming concepts. -- A highly-experienced writer/programmer, the author has been active in documenting and implementing Microsoft's Windows Mobile Internet Toolkit using C#. Visual C# is a recently developed, object-oriented language that enables programmers to quickly build a wide range of applications for the new Microsoft .NET platform. Touted by many as Microsoft's competing programming language against Java, C# offers the power of C and C++ along with a more intuitive interface akin to Visual Basic. Part One's initial chapters in The Complete Idiot's Guide "RM" to Visual C# will kick off with an introduction to programs and programming tools (editors, debuggers, compilers, etc.) then quickly move into describing C#, it's features and how it can be effectively utilized in the Microsoft .NET Framework. Part Two and Part Three take on the basic and more advanced concepts of object-oriented programming, respectively, through writing code samples and executable programs in the C# language. Part 4 wraps up the book with a thorough discussion of WinForm Controls and professional programs development using C#.
