C# (Csharp) Links and Resources

Some C# links and resources that I have used to integrate data from a MS SQL Server to a web site that runs ColdFusion using web services on the ColdFusion side.

The archived #develop forums - thousands of posts that weren't migrated to their current forums:

An article on creating or consuming web services in dotnet

A real example of consuming a web service with csharp (including downloadable visual studio project files and full source code - extremely useful to a neophyte)

Instructions on creating the web reference in SharpDevelop

Finally, informit.com offers the "Learn Csharp in 24 hours" book. Pretty OK.

Some articles on C# itself

http://www.fincher.org/tips/Languages/csharp.shtml
http://www.csharp-station.com/Tutorial.aspx (really good)

C# XML notes:

XmlReader is faster that XmlDocument:

XmlDocument reading example
- This actually proved to be the most useful example for me, it reads XmlDocument to print out various elements from an XML string - http://www.aspnettutorials.com/tutorials/database/XML-Csharp.aspx
