Completely updated for C# 3.0 and the .NET 3.5 platform, the new
edition of this bestseller offers more than 250 code recipes to
common and not-so-common problems that C# programmers face every
day. Every recipe in the book has been reconsidered with more than
a third of them rewritten to take advantage of new C# 3.0 features.
If you prefer solutions you can use today to general C# language
instruction, and quick answers to theory, this is your book.
C# 3.0 Cookbook offers a new chapter on LINQ (language
integrated query), plus two expanded chapters for recipes for
extension methods, lambda functions, object initializers, new
synchronization primitives and more. The new edition is also
complemented by a public wiki, which not only includes all of the
C# 2.0 recipes from the previous edition unchanged by the release
of C# 3.0, but invites you to suggest better ways to solve those
tasks.
Here are some of topics covered:
LINQ
Numeric data types and Enumerations
Strings and characters
Classes and structures
Generics
Collections
Exception handling
Delegates, events, and lambda expressions
Filesystem interactions
Web site access
XML usage (including LINQ to XML, XPath and XSLT)
Networking
Threading
Data Structures & Algorithms
Each recipe in the book includes tested code that you can download
from oreilly.com and reuse in your own applications, and each one
includes a detailed discussion of how and why the underling
technology works. You don't have to be an experienced C# or .NET
developer to use C# 3.0 Cookbook. You just have to be
someone who wants to solve a problem now, without having to learn
all the related theory first.
