With high practical value
I find the more I know the internal of C#, the more I like this book---------if you're a beginer, then come to this book later.

Most worthless programming book I've ever used.
I have a Master's degree in Computer Science with 3 years of programming experience in C++. This book is by far the most useless and horribly written programming book I've ever read. There are 600 pages in this book that tell you absolutely nothing other than how to map very basic C++ operations to C#.

It mentions classes in some chapters that aren't defined until later chapters. When it does mention specific classes, it rarely lists all of their methods in a convenient and easy to read format. Instead, you have to look at the example code and hope there is some type of matching method that may be useful.

It is also missing very important and useful classes such as the DateTime class.

If you strictly want a book that maps basic C++ operations to C#, then this may be for you. Otherwise it is useless as a reference and not very well structured.

Excellent way to move from Visual C++ to C#
Thank you Mr. Wright -- your comparisons between Visual C++ and C# made it very easy for me to move to C# and .NET. Great job.
