Product Description
Product Description
Easy to learn and use, the C# language is targeted at developers for Microsoft's .NET platform who've worked with a C-like language before, such as C, C++, or Java. There's no shortage of excellent tutorials and documentation to help new developers get a handle on the language, such as O'Reilly's Learning C# or Programming C#. But when you need practical answers to the day-to-day questions you run up against, a tutorial isn't going to do the trick. The C# Cookbook gets straight to the heart of the problem with code recipes collected especially for developers working on the .NET platform.
The C# Cookbook offers a definitive collection of solutions and examples for this new programming language. Recipes range from simple tasks to the more complex, and are organized with respect to the types of problems you'll need to solve as you progress in your experience as a C# programmer. Nearly every recipe contains a complete, documented code sample showing you how to solve the specific problem, as well as a discussion of how the underlying technology works and a discussion of alternatives, limitations, and other considerations where appropriate.
The recipes in the C# Cookbook are organized into seventeen chapters, each of which focuses on a particular topic in creating C# solutions. Among the topics covered, you'll find:
- Numeric data types in C#
- Strings and characters
- Classes and structures
- Exception handling
- Delegates and events
- Regular expressions
- Data structures and algorithms
- Networking
- Security
- Unsafe Code
From the Publisher
Completely revised for C# 2.0, this updated bestseller offers more than 100 new code solutions to common problems that you're sure to face as a C# programmer. Nearly every solution, or "recipe," contains a complete, documented code sample showing you how to solve the specific problem. Covers .NET Framework Class Libraries, interoperability, design patterns, and much more!

Great addition to your C# library
22 April 2004
Format:Paperback
This is a really cool book. Skim through it, and you'll see that all the hard stuff you want to do in .NET or C# are all in one book. You'll find some general computer science algorithms implemented in C#, and you'll find other things that are simply C# specific. I'd highly recommend any professional C# programmer adding this to their reference library.
The book contains a chapter for each of various C# objects. Beginning with numbers, the book continues through strings, classes, delegates, collections, I/O, threading, and XML to name a few. Some examples of "recipes" you'll find include how to improve string builder performance, issues with bit-shifting, adding notification callbacks, rolling back object changes, determining whether a process has stopped responding, and validating XML.
Like many of O'Reilly's other "cookbook" reference books, this book can be read from cover to cover, but it's really designed like a cookbook. The idea is to flip thorough each recipe in a specific section until you find one that fits what you're trying to do. While reading through this book, I came across five or six answers to various different problems I'm currently addressing in my own C# work. This is a definite must-have to your library.

Outstanding C# Reference Book
22 Sep 2005
Format:Paperback
This is exactly what a cookbook should be, it's as simple as that. If you are a C# programmer you would be making a mistake to not have a copy of this fantastic reference book by your side. For any book to be named a "cookbook" I would expect a myriad of problems to be tackled, and a variety of subjects. I wouldn't want a thin reference manual, yet I wouldn't want problems to go on for pages and pages and pages. Ideally an examination of a wide variety of issues with concise, straightforward solutions is optimal, and that's exactly what this book provides.
Topics Covered:
01. Number-Related Tips & Tricks
02. String Abilities
03. Working With Classes & Structures
04. Enumerations
05. Exception Handling
06. A look at Diagnostic Tools
07. Working with Delegates & Events
08. Regular Expressions
09. Collections
10. Data Structures in C#
11. Filesystems in C#
12. Reflection
13. Networking code and issues
14. Security Matters
15. Working With Threads
16. A Look At Unsafe Code
17. XML Analysis
From that list of topics, is there any subject that a C# developer doesn't run into some issue with at some point?
I'm trying to write a longer, drawn out review about why you should pick up this book, but it's really hard to do so because I instantly found this book so useful.
Save yourself the time and aggravation and pick up "C# Cookbook" by Stephen Teilhet and Jay Jilyard, I can assure you that you will not regret it.
***** HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Buy it - yesterday
23 Jan 2005
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
A friend lent me their copy of the book when I was trying to figure something out. Ten minutes later I ordered my own copy. This book is great.
What it is is for about 70 small programming problems, it shows you how to write it. Both the code and the explanation. So in many cases you can just copy the code. And if what you need is a little different, the explanation gives you the knowledge you need.
One note - I did find one place where the code they gave was more complex and less efficient than necessary. So it's not perfect. But the code they gave did work.
