Any good "Intro to C#" tutorials?

Obviously there are millions of Intro to C# tutorials out there, so let me clarifyy :)

I am not a C programmer. I have experience with VB, and I've used the resources here to play with the source code for TGE1.5.2.

What I'm looking for is something one step beyond "Hello World." I'm looking for OOP basics. When I learned VB, I was shown how to get a circle to bounce around inside a square, and eventually turned it into PONG. That's what I'd like for C#, unless there is some game easier to program than PONG (LOL).

I've actually found the Source for PONG but its not commented at all and its in C++ and its not a tutorial.

Any suggestions?

Just an update...

Well, I got the "C# 2010 all-in-one for dummies" book from the library. Its awesome! Easy to read, easy to follow, and it has a section just on OOP, which should help me tremendously. I also got the "Java for dummies" and "C++ for dummies" books, but C# seems pretty straight forward so I'll stick it out. I found a few websites dedicated to tutorals for beginners also.

Once you get the basics down, there are some fun sites that will help you perfect your new c# skills.

I would recommend some of the XNA based material like this create.msdn.com/en-US/education/tutorial/2dgame/getting_started
