Publisher's Synopsis
Concise but thorough, C# Essentials introduces the brand-new Microsoft C# programming language and the Microsoft .NET Common Language Runtime (CLR) and Base Class Libraries (BCL) that support it. The compact format and terse presentation of key concepts serve as a roadmap to the online documentation included with the Microsoft .NET Framework SDK; the many examples provide much-needed context.In addition to overviews of C#, the CLR, and the BCL, C# Essentials includes coverage of:
- Every C# language element and its syntax, in reference format
- The major C# datatypes, with code examples
- Basic C# programming tasks
- Interoperations with legacy Win32 APIs and COM components, and the use of C/C++ style pointers within the managed context of the CLR.
