Visual C# 2010 How to Program
Appropriate for all basic-to-intermediate level courses in Visual C# 2010 programming. Created by world-renowned programming instructors Paul and Harvey Deitel, Visual C# 2010 How to Program, Fourth Edition introduces all facets of the C# 2010 language hands-on, through hundreds of working programs. This book has been thoroughly updated to reflect the major innovations Microsoft has incorporated in Visual C# 2010 and .NET 4; all discussions and sample code have been carefully audited against the newest Visual C# language specification.
Students begin by getting comfortable with the C# Express 2010 IDE and basic Visual C# syntax. Next, they build their skills one step at a time, mastering control structures, classes, objects, methods, variables, arrays, and the core techniques of object-oriented programming. With this strong foundation in place, the Deitels introduce more sophisticated techniques, including searching, sorting, data structures, generics, and collections. Throughout, the authors show students how to make the most of Microsoft’s Visual Studio tools. A series of appendices provide essential programming reference material on topics ranging from number systems to the Visual Studio Debugger, UML 2 to Unicode and ASCII.

I didn't really finish the book (though I may at some point), I just finished my class. The instructor for my class, and all of the students, were very vocal about how much they HATED this book. I was able to learn from it, but it probably could be better. One thing that annoyed me was that it seemed to be trying to hard to be politically correct. For example:
The cover of the book is bamboo. What does this have to do with C#? The inside cover/introduction talks about how bamboo is a good renewable resource for paper, that doesn't deplete our forests. That's great. Is the bamboo the same price as regular paper (if not, that could potentially explain why the book cost over $100 - outrageous if you ask me, the textbook industry is a scam)? Was the bamboo even grown in our country (or did we waste alot of fuel importing it)? Of course, most of these questions are pointless, since it doesn't even say whether or not this book is actually printed on bamboo paper. *shrug*
Then there are the exorcises that want you to write programs for politically correct applications like: computing your carbon footprint, or translating a selection of text into gender neutral words.
