Searching for Game Design Books

Question

I am learning how to program in C++ and C#, and would like to apply it to video game design. I cannot find any books that apply to .NET programming though. There are more than enough books still out there that apply to Visual C++ 6.0, but I do not have 6.0. Any video game designers who know where to find some good books on video game design using .NET, please help me out. I don't know the first thing about game design, but I am fairly fluent with C++ and C# though, so books that assume I already know how to program are fine.
