My first C# app. Now where do I start?? Mark Donkers23-Apr-02 11:48 Mark Donkers 23-Apr-02 11:48  Well, here we go. I got the OK today to from the big-wigs to use C# in our next internal project. My first .NET app. Great. Now where do I start? I was hoping I could get some recommendations on some reading material. I'm sure there's lots of online material, but I'm looking for a good ol' fashion book. Can anyone suggest anything?? Marcus Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir your blood to action.

Can anyone suggest anything?? I have the Petzold book, and I also have a book called C# and the .NET Platform from A-Press. They compliment each other well, but I suspect the second edition of Tom Archers Inside C# book is going to be better, and once I've bought it, I doubt I'll turn much to the A-Press book.

According to him, it's imminent, as in the publishers have published it but people like Amazon are selling their last few copies ( 4 left as of yesterday ) before releasing the new one.

My first C# app. Now where do I start?? Tom Archer23-Apr-02 16:01 Tom Archer 23-Apr-02 16:01  Hi Daniel, First, congrats on getting started with C#!!! My book is supposed to be on the shelves this week or next. In fact, my editor said that she got copies on her desk *today*. With regards to C# books it really depends on what you're looking for. All the MS Press books are meant to compliment one another. For example, Petzold has tons about GDI and Windows Forms while Richter is about .NET internals. My book is specifically about C# and some of the main BCL classes (string and reg expressions, streaming, com interop, exceptions, etc.) You can find out more info here. Drop me an email if you have any further questions and I'll be happy to help.

I didn't look at it too closely because it wasn't the lastest-and-greatest, and I had 20 other books to sift through. I'm not sure exactly what I'm looking for, but it sounds like I need a mix of your book and Petzold's. Ah, what the heck... I'll get both I'll keep my eyes peeled for your book. Would you happen to know if Chapters will be stocking it? Thanks for the info Tom. Marcus (aka - Daniel ) Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir your blood to action.

Also, Amazon is combining my book with Petzold's with a special price.

Tom Archer24-Apr-02 1:52 Tom Archer 24-Apr-02 1:52  You're very welcome Marcus and judging from the prices I saw on the Chapter site, a much better financial deal! Once you get the book always feel free to ping me with any questions.

My first C# app. Now where do I start?? Nick Parker23-Apr-02 16:32 Nick Parker 23-Apr-02 16:32  I have Charles Petzold's C# book from Microsoft Press, however the book, also from Microsoft Press "Microsoft Visual C#.NET STEP BY STEP" by John Sharp and Jon Jagger is rather well written. It covers not only a lot of the structures of the language but how to do a lot more with the designer. I have also looked through Tom Archer's book, however I to am waiting for the second edition to come out. Nick Parker This is a non-Calculus course as long as you know things like line integrals and surface integrals... Re: WooHoo! My first C# app. Now where do I start?? Tom Archer23-Apr-02 22:44 Tom Archer 23-Apr-02 22:44  The Step by Step books are definitely better than I anticipated. I just purchased the MC++ one and love it. The main diffs between my C# book and the SBS book is that it covers the designers whereas my book is specifically about the language. Therefore, I cover the language to a much greater level of detail. However, it is also a really good book.

My first C# app. Now where do I start?? Albert Pascual24-Apr-02 6:02 Albert Pascual 24-Apr-02 6:02  I didn't know there was a book in MC++! What's the title and author and do you think is worth it for intermidiate level? Thanks Al Re: WooHoo! My first C# app. Now where do I start?? Tom Archer24-Apr-02 9:04 Tom Archer 24-Apr-02 9:04  Intermediate C++ programmers in general or someone that already considers themselves intermediate in MC++ ? As a beginner to MC++, but extremely exerienced in VC++, I thought it was great because it was straight to the point without any fluff. I also love the step by step, tutorial type of writing. However, it is meant for people with absolutely zero MC++ experience. I think you're going to find that of any .NET language book at this point because publishers are not going to chance writing for the minority that already know this stuff. Even my second edition of Inside C#, while having lots of cool intermediate and advanced level stuff - also assumes from the beginning that you have no experience. As I said, there's no publisher that's going to let you do it any other way.

My first C# app. Now where do I start?? Albert Pascual24-Apr-02 10:06 Albert Pascual 24-Apr-02 10:06  I only see 2 books available for MC++ (at Amazon) Essential Guide To Managed Extensions For C++ by Siva Challa, Artur Laksberg and Managed C++ and .NET Development by Stephen R., G. Fraser Which one do you think I should get? Any other MC++ books our there? Where can I get them? Thanks Al Re: WooHoo! My first C# app. Now where do I start?? Tom Archer24-Apr-02 10:16 Tom Archer 24-Apr-02 10:16  The Step by Step one is here. I personally like it much better than the APress book (I have both). But then again, I don't really care for the APress style. I'm not familiar with Fraser book so I can't comment on it. MS Press definitely made a mistake when it didn't put "managed extensions" in the title as that's what people will look for to separate a VC++.NET book that is mainly MFC (like mine) vs a VC++.NET book that is ME.

My first C# app. Now where do I start?? Albert Pascual24-Apr-02 10:27 Albert Pascual 24-Apr-02 10:27  I just go it!! Thanks! Yes isn't easy to find as I seach using: "Managed C++" I can't wait to read it! I am like an Star Wars fan waiting for Episode II! Al Re: WooHoo! My first C# app. Now where do I start?? Albert Pascual24-Apr-02 5:58 Albert Pascual 24-Apr-02 5:58  Congratulations! It's awesome when you get the green light to go ahead and write C#. The first book I ever got about .NET and last was Inside C# by Tom Archer. It's a very good reference book. Hope that help Al Re: WooHoo! My first C# app. Now where do I start?? Mark Donkers24-Apr-02 6:21 Mark Donkers 24-Apr-02 6:21  And guess what! They're paying for the books (the Archer and Petzold). I love this job. You'll have to excuse me... it's time to place an order. Thanks everyone! BTW - Now I can afford the The Career Programmer - Guerilla Tactics....

I'm new to C# and am having a bit of difficulty with the TreeView control. I've managed to successfully set up a TreeView control that will allow a user to browse all the directories of his/her logical drives and select a certain directory. However, when this TreeView control starts, the only nodes displayed are the top nodes (logical drives). I'd like to the tree to automatically expand itself to the user's current directory when it loads up. I've searched MSDN and have been unable to find the attributes/function combination that will allow me to do this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. - Sabran Re: TreeView Expansion Question Neil Van Note23-Apr-02 9:41 Neil Van Note 23-Apr-02 9:41  TreeNode.Expand() or TreeNode.ExpandAll() Re: TreeView Expansion Question Sabran23-Apr-02 9:50 Sabran 23-Apr-02 9:50  Thanks. I think that might be what I was looking for. - Sabran Re: TreeView Expansion Question Sabran23-Apr-02 10:51 Sabran 23-Apr-02 10:51  I have another question along the same lines. If I know the path of a TreeNode I want to pull from the TreeView object, how do I do this? - Sabran
