This thread is to post links to tutorials, references, tools that you have found useful and would like to share with others. If you post something useful, it'll be added to the following list for others to see and use.

Please note that this thread will be heavily moderated to remove questions, discussions, and spam. Questions belong in their own thread, discussion belongs in the C# Programmer's Lounge, and spam doesn't belong at all.

Perhaps our best resource is our current work-in-progress:

Well, I've written a lot of C# related articles during my time in school and at work, so if they could help anyone, well, I'd be happy (and it's why I wrote them).
