Good Source Of .Net Design Patterns

Answer 1

A couple of other resources

• Gang of Four has some patterns, too.
• MSDN Patterns & Practices may also be helpful

Answer 4

You might also want to read the book .NET Design Patterns.

Some of the books above I have read and can certainly vouch for.

Answer 5

I recommend Head First Design Patterns book from Freemans. These are general design patterns applicable in most OO languages. I recommend this book as an introductory book to design patterns. After this book the GOF book would be another recommendation (but not as a first book).

Answer 6

Here is a descriptions of Design Patterns

I thing this is a very good page for reading and learning about design patterns

Answer 7

To see real world examples of patterns implemented, why not grab an open source .net project such as Paint.NET or CommunityServer and have a look through the codebase? You could also get Reflector and have a look at the source code for the base class library.
