Outdated but I use this intro to the basics for reference at work.

A decent classroom book that has some simple examples and explanations of the framwork.
The nice part is even without the book you can goto Apress's website and download all the sample programs and learn from those too.
Recommended for anyone wanting to learn about .NET 4.5 & some ASP/WPF.. but it might be a little too advanced if you have zero .NET experience already.

Fantastic reference. If you're looking to learn about C# or about the various .NET APIs look no further.

Хороший учебник с понятными примерами, и отсутствующими заумными объяснениями.

There's no word to translate my satisfaction in reading such a master piece like this one, everone who want to learn how to program in C# with patlaform .net, this is the book to learn the basic to advanced topics. Just a remainder, there are newer editions of this book, so look for them they're up to date than this, since technologies changes in a really fast pace!
