From the Back Cover

C# is a modern, object-oriented language that enables programmers to quickly build a wide range of applications for the new Microsoft® .NET platform which provides tools and services that fully exploit both computing and communications. Because of its elegant design, combining the raw power of C++ with the simplicity of Microsoft Visual Basic®, C# is a great choice for architecting a wide range of components, from high-level business objects to system-level applications. Get a head start on developing in C# with this first printed look at the complete C# language specifications. This MSDN® title includes:

  • Information about the essential features and basic concepts of the C# language, plus in-depth analysis of the lexical structure of the language
  • Details about types, variables, conversions, expressions, statements, namespaces, classes, structures, arrays, interfaces, enumerators, delegates, exceptions and attributes
  • Details on how C# simplifies coding by omitting pointers as a data type and lets you get closer to the hardware by declaring and operating on pointers in unsafe code
  • A list of attributes used for creating programs that interoperate with COM programs, plus a list of other key references.
