I've been using the .NET framework now for a while and there's still a lot that I'm confused about. Back in 2002 when M$ first came out with the .NET framework, they had a section on MSDN where a series of teachers would show you how to use a particular new technology. I think it's still out there, but not sure.

What I'm looking for is a list, possibly, of sites that you go to when researching topics. I use codeproject.com, and devx.com for the most part, but lately these haven't been yielding favorable results. I have even tried googling for help to find a lot of hits on a topic, read through the submission and find that I'm still lost at the end of the article.

Currently I'm working on adding some new optional extensions to a program that I have working now, but could be better. A couple of things that I'm trying to put together is a type of dynamic log that tells me what user is using what program, and what errors are being encountered, along with the state of the program. Another arm of the program that I'm trying is automatic updates, from a secured website. There's a post that I made earlier regarding this topic to which I didn't get any responses to, so I figure either everyone was too busy to try the code, or not enough information was supplied. The last topic that I wanted to refresh on is threading, as I did have a program utility that I wrote way back in 2002 for another program, that would watch a network share for updates, and copy the files over to another location, while giving a progress of the copy file progress using threads. I want to do something similar again, but for some reason I couldn't get it to quite work properly.

This request isn't so much for code as a place to look for clarification about certain topics within the .NET framework, as the ones that I've used in the past. Just frustrated at this point I suppose.

CSharp Station - They've got some good tutorials, or go to the links section for a ton of C# sites.

Paranoid Ferret - blog about C#, some entries have helped me.

Code Guru

That's a couple I've used in the past (and bookmarked). Not sure if they'll help you with what you're looking for...

Cheers.

Microsoft's MSDN Library is a great place to look also. Code examples and explanations of just about every part of the .Net Framework....coming straight from the horse's mouth.

That was one of the first places that I was looking, until they cluttered it so much and changed the design of the search engine. Now if I do a search there for anything, I get almost as many hits as I do with google.

what I normally do is go to Google and search the MSDN....like if I wanted to learn the syntax of using the ThreadPool class, I would go to Google and search "MSDN threadpool", and normally the first result is the correct one from the MSDN.
