You really want a book that helps in translation since you know a lot of the stuff already, and any standard C# books are intended for those that are to some degree unfamiliar with both. I would go with something like http://www.amazon.com/C-VB-NET-Conversion-Pocket-Reference/dp/0596003196/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1337443336&sr=8-1[^] which is only $10 before shipping and you can get it used really cheap. Unfortunately it is old. Personally I have been using the Apress books ("Pro C# 2010 and the .NET 4 Platform") which can be bought at http://www.apress.com/9781430225492[^] in pdf format.

Solution 5

As Solution 1 to 4 have been suggested few books, I would say you could probably look few of the articles from CP,

and lastly I would suggest you C# in a Nutshell[^] book.

Also please read this Wanted to learn C# need help[^]

Hope it helps :) All the best.

There is a good book - "Pro C # 2010 and the. NET 4 Platform"
http://www.amazon.com/2010-NET-Platform-Andrew-Troelsen/dp/1430225491
This book is as weighty within as its heft suggests. It covers nearly every dimension of C#, ranging from the basics of its syntax to the more difficult (for me) concepts of inheritance, delegates, and multithreading. It is comprehensive enough to be a valuable overview for the new initiate to C#, but is not a "21 days" text; programmers with some C# already, or another equivalent language, I suspect would most benefit. For me, it was particularly helpful in preparing for technical interviews.

I particularly enjoyed Troelsen's ability to present highly abstruse and intricate (and, often, dry) concepts with both humor and an absence of fluff
Then I found a link, but only for .NET 3:
http://books.google.co.il/books?id=JZmbD7yeNMMC&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_ge_summary_r&cad=0#v=onepage&q&f=false

This book is also very good - "C# 4.0 The Complete Reference" of Herbert Schildt
The Definitive Guide to C# "From using LINQ to covariance and from string formatting to optional arguments, Herb's update covers all you need to know about using real-world C# 4.0."

Perfect for beginners and professional C# programmers alike, this expert resource is written in the clear, crisp, uncompromising style that has made Herb the choice of millions worldwide. Begin mastering C# 4.0 today with help from this authoritative volume! Coverage includes: Data types and operators Control statements Classes and objects Constructors, destructors, and methods Interfaces, arrays, enumerations, and structures Method and operator overloading Inheritance and virtual methods Reflection and runtime type ID Exception handling Delegates, properties, events, and indexers Attributes Multithreading and the Task Parallel Library Generics LINQ and PLINQ Lambda expressions Anonymous types Extension methods Named and optional arguments Implicitly typed variables I/O, networking, and collections The preprocessor and much, much more

Good luck.
