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: http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SD/forum/search.asp
An article on creating or consuming web services in dotnet - http://aspnet.4guysfromrolla.com/articles/100803-1.aspx
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) - http://www.codeproject.com/cs/webservices/cpwebserviceconsumer.asp
Instructions on creating the web reference in SharpDevelop - http://community.sharpdevelop.net/blogs/mattward/archive/2005/12/31/WebReferences.aspx
informit.com offers the "Learn Csharp in 24 hours" book. Pretty OK. - http://www.informit.com/library/library.asp?b=STY_Csharp_24hours
Some articles on C# itself:
- http://www.fincher.org/tips/Languages/csharp.shtml
- http://www.csharp-station.com/Tutorial.aspx (really good)
- http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/csref/html/vcoriCSharpTutorials.asp (from Microsoft themselves)
C# XML notes:
- XmlReader is faster that XmlDocument:
  - http://collinsfamilyblogs.com/collinsfamilyblogs/josh/post/XmlDocument-vs-XmlReaderXmlWriter.aspx
  - http://www.hanselman.com/blog/CommentView.aspx?guid=276
- 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
Date:
DateTime dt = DateTime.Now;
Response.Write(dt.Year.ToString());
Response.Write(dt.Month.ToString());
Concatenate is "+"
