Scott: - as a book, I suggest "C# In a Nutshell", published by O'Reilly, and written by Peter Drayton, Ben Albahari, and Ted Neward. It breaks the FX down by namespace, and then by Class. It does not have the detail that the online documentation has (it doesn't detail APIs, simply lists them), but is an extremely useful desk-side reference
- For String conversions, I suggest using the Convert class. This will make your code readable to all programmers (since it uses no language specific conversion techniques, such as casting) and provides a one stop shop for conversions from all the basetypes, where that conversion makes sense Regards, Kit -----Original Message----- From: Scott Weston [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, May 15, 2002 1:17 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [DOTNET] C# string comparison Just starting out here and I have a couple questions. What is a really good reference book to buy that has all the functions and such listed in alphabetical order similar to the msdn help, but better documented? I for one have never liked MS's documentation or help systems. Books onlien was cool, but was at times sparse in it's help. Something by wrox if possible as I have the Reference from Or, but it isn't near complete. I am also wanting to do string comparisons and conversion from different types into a string type, what would be my best route to take here? Oh yeah and let me know if this isn't the proper place to ask for C# help and kindly point me to the proper list. Thanks. - Scott Weston - IT Coordinator / Software Engineer DISTek Integration, Inc.
