I'm looking for a good book about Design Patterns as they
related to any .NET language. This book would be the
equivalent of the J2EE Core Patterns described on
http://www.javasoft.com.

I hesitate to look at the .NET PetShop application for
the following reason. In order to kick the crap out of
the J2EE PetShop application in terms of performance and
the amount of code needed, the developers largely blurred
the lines between what objects are business objects and
what objects belong to the data access tier. By
violating this principle and several others, they
achieved better performance but cast serious doubts
concerning the extensibility and maintenability of the
application.

Any recommendations?

That's a broad topic, but here's a link you can follow to
see how GOF patterns may be implemented in C# .NET

Regards.

There is a good book called .NET Patterns by Christian Thilmany available on
Amazon.com.
Its a pretty good book. I have it..
The MSDN Patterns and Practices section is also a fab resource and
constantly updated .If you prefer books you can order the material in book
form (although the online version and the PDF's are free)..

cheers

Glad to hear someone else thought that too.

Check out:

"Professional Design Patterns in VB.NET: Building Adaptable
Applications"

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...21664?v=glance

I have read about half of it. A little wordy (like other books like
this) but good overall.

Regards..
