C# Resources Online
Even this book cannot answer every question you might have about the
language. There are many online resources that can help you get the
most out of C#. We recommend the following sites:
- http://msdn.microsoft.com/net/
-
The Microsoft .NET Developer Center is the official site for all
things .NET, including the latest version of the .NET Framework SDK,
as well as documentation, technical articles, sample code, pointers
to discussion groups, and third-party resources.

-
Community support site run by the .NET Framework team. Includes
articles, specifications, and numerous samples from .NET Framework
team members and the community at large.

The DevelopMentor DOTNET discussion lists are the best site for
freewheeling, independent discussion of the .NET Framework;
participants often include key Microsoft engineers and program
managers.
