The best training is building your own applications.

I don't mind the attempt to be funny, but at least try and help if your going to reply...

Anyways, I've been searching (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vcsharp/default.aspx) and have not found much... Still looking

I was trying to help. If you're using VS, just build small apps like calculators until you learn how to do bigger things. There are free tutorials available from the website I linked to you in your other thread about C#.

Coming up with an idea and translating it into real code is better training than any book you'll ever read.

Well I completely agree with that. I would just like to know what type of training materials are out there for C# before I begin to invest time into it.

Check www.wrox.com

I like their development books a lot. I haven't check for awhile, so I don't know if they have updated material for 3.5 though.

+1 for screwing around and making your own apps.

The Wrox books are good for learning, as they usually give you projects to work on, as are the Apress books, and I found that Microsoft's own Step By Step series is excellent. As for doing projects and breaking your own code, I know it can be tough to find a direction to go. Coding's tough, and making "something from nothing" is challenging. The best thing you can do is find tasks you want to complete, search the web for suggestions on projects and coding-challenges you can do. And, if nothing else, sharpen your skills with something like developing a computer game, or something along those lines.
