About the Author

Kevin Hoffman has been programming since he was 10 years old. His grandfather repaired an old Commodore VIC-20 that someone had thrown away. Armed with his wirebound BASIC programming manual, a VIC-20 and "slowed" floppy drive from a Commodore 64, he was already creating text-based roleplaying games. He went on to learn just about every programming language he could find, including Pascal, C, C++, Delphi, Scheme, LISP, ASA, Perl, and many others. After learning all the languages he could find, he finally found C#, his Holy Grail of programming languages, and has been addicted to programming with C# on the .NET Framework ever since.

Editorial Reviews

The Barnes & Noble Review
Kevin Hoffman’s Microsoft Visual C# 2005 Unleashed offers a virtually endless cornucopia of C# 2005 techniques, knowledge, and up-to-date sample code.

In roughly 1,000 pages, Hoffman covers practically the entire language, and much of the surrounding .NET 2.0 platform: from basic C# syntax to objects and generics, I/O to multithreading, data access to cryptography, web services to remoting.

Events, delegates, XML, security, code optimization: They’re all here. You’ll find especially strong coverage of ASP.NET 2.0: nine chapters' worth, covering everything from master pages to Web Parts; even creating custom providers and developing new ASP.NET controls. In an equally extensive section on Windows Forms development, Hoffman offers especially useful coverage of Visual Studio 2005’s ClickOnce, which lets you create powerful client applications that are as easy to deploy and update as web pages are.
