Need specific C#/asp.net book

Hey, I'm intermediate at C# programming, but I don't use it often and I want a book with exercises and solutions. Most of the books I find, just have examples that you can follow. I enjoy books that say, try to do this(after you learned about it) I mostly will be using C# for asp.net and WPF applications. Is there any good books out there that you recommend(anything with databases(ado linq is a plus as well)? 2008 would be ideal,
