I've got to do some C# work and I was wondering if anybody knows of any good online communities for some microsoft bashers? 🙂 I've got a few c# questions i need help with. It's doing desktop work, rather thank web app.

Thanks

    C# is actually rather easy to get used to if you've been using PHP, PHP is largely based on C#...

    i've created some desktop apps with C#.NET and find it very nice to use.

    Are you going to be using VS.NET as your dev tool?

    One thing you'll have to get used to is C# is really strict and will not let you get away with running something w/o everything working, but the debugging is really nice and the "stepping through" the code is nice as well.

    I never really went to any online communities as I had a C#.NET book loaned to me from a friend and it was sufficient for the rudimentary use of VS.NET, .NET in general. Once you get over that, the syntax/etc... is pretty easy to adapt to.

      Yeah, I've got Visual Studio 2005. It is actually really powerful and nice... but its taking a bit of getting used to. Since I've only really worked with web developement lately. Knowing me, I'll always get a headache stuck on some particular bit. Thats why I love this forum and was hoping for something similar. Maybe I'll just bug you 😉

      Thanks for the advice, the program i need to create is fairly basic (I believe) and I can do it in C#.NET, VB.NET (2003 or 2005 flavours) or Java. I just need to set up a prototype system, a server app and a client app that talk to each other. the server app manages the database. Although for the testing purposes both can be running on the same PC.

      At the moment I'm a bit clueless, lol. The thought of setting up a connection seems complicated enough to a PHP programmer... not something I've had to do in PHP (apart from with FTP once)

        PHP is largely based on C#...

        Huh? PHP was built with C.

          I think thats what he meant. lol
