    If you know some C++ and you know VB.NET then a C# book is, in my opinion, a waste of money. You already know the C# syntax because it is based on C/C++. You already know all the Framework types, members and conventions from VB.NET. Any subtleties of C# should be able to be picked up from Intellisense (which is more agressive in C#), MSDN and the Web in general. That's what I did.

    Thanks jmcilhinney for the suggestion i also think it won’t be much help buying book but it is somewhere a little confusing for me to understand how to declare the event handlers since I noticed double-Clicking on the controls just generate one event. Anyway, Thank you very much.

    Select the Control for which you want to generate the Event Handler. Open Properties Window, click on the Lightning Flash button at the top of the Properties Window. This will display all the events that can be handled for the selected control. Just double click on the Event name and there you go, the event handler will be automatically generated for you.

    Be aware that VB 2005 supports the same functionality. It's actually better than using the code window in many situations because it allows to to create a single method to handle multiple events without having to write anything yourself. There's no way to do that using the old VB way.
