I like this one: C# 3.0 in a Nutshell, Third Edition By: Joseph Albahari; Ben Albahari Publisher: O'Reilly Media, Inc. Pub. Date: September 26, 2007 And, I believe there may be a newer version for 3.5 or 4.0. "Nutshell" makes it sound like it might be somewhat simple-minded, but it definitely is not. I have a safari online book account, and I know it is available there, but I'm not sure where else you can find it.

But at following parts they tells c#. I have my c# archive. If you want, I can send you. Therefore, you look the contents section and find things you desire exactly. ----- Original Message ----- From: Homme, James <mailto:james.homme@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, March 15, 2011 8:34 PM Subject: C# Book That Doesn't Talk About MS Studio Hi, Does anyone know of a C# book that just talks about the language, but not about the VisualStudio environment?
