Search ASP.NET C # tutotial or refernece which preferably avoids using web forms

I have been working with PHP for a long time and I am generally quite familiar with Microsoft IDE and the concepts behind everything including OOP. What I am trying to find, AND was looking for, is a tutorial or reference site that shows the specifics of C # syntax like how to create classes, functions, variable types ... ect. I'm not looking for all the other reference information, just trying to find simple old examples of using the C # language. Maybe something like a PHP manual.

I don’t want to sound like I’m demanding something or anything else, but if you know something that you saw or used a quick link, that would be great.

Thanks!
