>>I'm not really looking for something on all 2K+ classes but the basics more or less. You get introductions in most books and some books have left out important areas (ie, O'Reily's C# in a nutshell didn't cover the System.Data classes?!?!?). So I guess a book on the basics of the classes is more inline of what I would like to see.

>Yep. Trouble is the basics to you isn't going to synch up with the basics to someone else. :-\

Nancy;

I think each of us will end up "writting our own book"! You take the usual 1500 page document and copy the one sentance or paragraph that is of value into Word. Do this with each book you purchase. Add your own discoveries and you have a useable book! :)
