May I suggest Essential ASP.NET, or is it that you are not into Web based apps?

I'll have to check. If we don't have it I'll recommend it.

That's a lot of books - opening a library?

Other books you might find useful are "Code complete" (MS Press), "Professional VB.Net" (Wrox) and "Data structures and algorithms" (?Prentice Hall?)

Nice list Roy. I agree with all of them and if you are assembling a complete software development lib, I echo "Code Complete" and "Refactoring" as absolute must-haves. I echo "Essential ASP.NET" as a must-have. A must-have I didn't see is "Design Patterns" by Gamma, Helm, Johnson, Vlissides (the GOF book).

Microsoft .NET Remoting - Scott McLean

If you ever do stuff with Remoting/Contexts this is a must (even if you've got Ingo's book).
