A good thing to do right now would be to buy a decent book. I had C# 3.0 in a Nutshell and WPF Unleashed practically stapled to my person for a good year and a half. The C# 3.0 book is really great as it is very informative and concise in it's explanations and whenever digging into something it gradually introduces the complexities rather that starting with them.

Sounds to me like you need to explore a number of big topics to get this app completed. Stuff like N-Teir/SOA architecture, WCF (Web services), LINQ or the Entity Framework for data access layer (interaction with SQL Server) as well as C# / WPF. This is a lot to go for at once.

I think it might be a good idea to start with smaller portions of stuff to begin with. Have you used Test Driven.NET? Since you have the full blown VS 2008 you can use plugins.

Go and grab a copy of http://www.testdriven.net/[^] and install it. Then create a basic class library and write some unit tests. This will provide you a really nice environment to learn in. TTD.NET will allow you to write a unit test in C# and simply right click it to run the code (with or without the debugger attached). I personally love this combination as it's a really fast way to play with code.

This will also get you into a good habit of writing tests to either prove your code works or drive the development process itself.

The datagrid stuff you talk about doing is fairly straight forward but I woould cover off some simpler WPF data template / styles stuff before leaping into that just yet.
