Sorry agraham and moster67 for this stupid question:
The book explains how to use visual components (i.e. listview, menu, textbox)???

Well, the book I suggested, Beginning Visual C# 2008, first introduces the language itself using mostly code that will be executed in the console (Console applications). Then it explains how to use Windows Forms and their related controls such as listview, labels, textbox etc. Most controls are being shown with printed examples or otherwise you will find sample-code/projects (using the various controls) by downloading code from the publisher's web-site.

In any case, the usage of the controls works more or less like in Basic4PPC (and most other languages such as VB6, VB.NET and so on).

Schildts' book is entirely about the C# language and is the most complete coverage I have seen. Visual components are part of Windows Forms, common to all languages, and I can't recommend a book about that because I just rely on the MSDN documentation for those and the rest of the CLR.
