Best place to learn C# as a beginner orienting to XNA?

[Cookieeater]

I've decided to switch to C# after seeing it. I don't like C++ for numerous reasons. I already know the extremely basic stuff such as cout, char, array, strings, but it would be nice to have a tutorial that brought me up straight from the beginner level. Are there any good books or tutorials out there and as a nice bonus, use XNA to create simple games?

This book really helped me alot, it's simple and teaches you all the basics you need.
There's a new one coming out though for XNA 4.0, maybe look out for that one.

Yeah, except generally those tutorials walk you through making one game, with little explanation. So if you're a beginner, you just end up with a big pile of code you don't really understand.
