Can anyone please recommend me a good introductory level book about .Net platform? For now I am not interested in books about particular .Net programming languages like C# but primarily about the .Net platform itself.

It's hard to use the framework without a language, and it's not recommended. I suggest you start with Head First C#[^] from O'Reilly, reading Mannings' C# in depth[^] right after that.

The most used languages for the framework would be C#, VB.NET and C++. The latter two were alive before the framework, and come with their own history and quirks. C# was new, and combines the best from those two languages.

All those languages are compiled to IL, which you could learn too[^]. It's just not recommended to actually program in IL, since it would be a bit inefficient to do so; it's error-prone and time-consuming, compared to writing your code in a higher-level language. It is helpful to take a look at it still; later on you'll be using a disassembler like ILSpy.

The book is an excellent guide on native Win32 API.

The Windows 95 resource kit[^] might be interesting, but the best book on WinAPI is a collection of blog-entries from Raymond Chen. You can find his blog here[^].

Hope this helps Smile | :)

if you can't read my code, try converting it here[^]
