Real-World .NET Applications - book reviews: 3
Real World .NET Applications consists of six significant .NET applications, each representing one of the major application types: a custom Windows control, an XML document editor, a Pac-Man–style game, a drawing application, an FTP client application, and an ASP.NET online store. Each application or component is thoroughly documented, starting from coverage of the underlying principles through the architecture and design, and finally the actual implementation of the application.
With Real World .NET Applications by your side, you can get started right away developing necessary applications!
Good applications
Even if you don't want to read the book,the downloadable applications are worth your money. The apps work and are of good quality. I'm using the Class Diagram to draw UML diagrams. I find it easier to use than even Visio. Drawing is much easier using the author's application (in chapter 4). Other apps are fun too. The e-commerce ASP.NET app is also useful.

Best .NET book
This is the best book .NET book i've read. The applications discussed are really real-world apps, and the author explains them extremely well. This book helped me write my custom Windows control and I'm really thankful. Get this book if you aim more than simple toy codes.The other good thing about this book is the use of design patterns throughout the applications. It's good to see design patterns are really used in applications. The codes run with .NET Framework 1.0 and 1.1

Having Fun with Pacman
This book is one of the few .NET titles with some meat. I'm particularly interested in thegame application: Pacman-clone. The chapter explains very clearly, from the design, the patterns used, and implementation.Other applications are useful too: FTP client app, XML document editor, etc.
