.NET Book Zero
If you ever have to code C# in exchange for food and shelter, the free C# book for C++ programmers from Charles Petzold may come handy 
.
Seriously now, I did not read the whole thing, but it looks like a decent introduction text, it’s free and it comes from the author with good reputation, so I wanted to share the link.
Charles Petzold is a legend in the Windows programming World. It appears he is a convert to .NET philosophy and C# in particular now. He has no plans to update his classic “Programming Windows”; in fact he seems to think the future of programming is going managed code not good old C/C++. Time will tell.
