What books to read for a quick start in C#?

Question

User interface

I wanted to advise a novice student on literature for a quick start with window applications in C #, and somehow I could not find a suitable one. I once sat on delphi since childhood, so I just set up the studio. I flipped through the syntax and continued to write as if nothing had happened, sometimes rejoicing at the syntactic sugar, so I missed the moment of studying exactly how to work with components.
The task is to quickly build a gui application for proof of concept, basic programming skills are there.
I found a lot of literature on how to fence classes, delegates, inheritance, and so on, but at the same time, even the basic mechanisms of the language with the conversion of a string into a number are bashfully missed.
There is a proprietary MS textbook "C# for schoolchildren", and even then half of the textbook is poking around in the console, then they suddenly create a GUI application, and then they learn how to generate controls manually, instead of using a normal editor.
Requires a book of small volume, which is written in the style of "Drag the control to the form, on the sidebar select the event to react to and the handler is created automatically, and write there."
I suspect that the best would be some manual for a technical university, where idealistic programming is not at the forefront, but at the same time it is required to be interested in the capabilities of the new tool.

Answer 2

I stupidly google msdn
+ metanit.com
+ itvdn.ru
+ Andrew Troelsen / Richter

Answer 3

you can watch vids on youtube.
That's how I learned to write in Java.

Answer 4

I'm currently learning the basics of C# in this course .
Not bad.
