3.5 Platform, Third Edition will provide you with a solid grounding in
this new technology and serve as a comprehensive reference throughout
your coding career:
* Explore five new
chapters of content—including the grammar of the common intermediate
language (CIL), .NET generics, and object serialization services.

covariance, ASP.NET 2.0 master pages, the new Windows Forms “Strip”
controls, and much more.
