I'm looking for a good online resource of software patterns. Preferably something with a comprehensive selection and concise well written explanations, not just a collection of links. .Net examples would be nice, but not essential.

I recommend Head First Design Patterns book from Freemans. These are general design patterns applicable in most OO languages. I recommend this book as an introductory book to design patterns. After this book the GOF book would be another recommendation (but not as a first book).

You might also want to read the book .NET Design Patterns.

Some of the books above I have read and can certainly vouch for.

To see real world examples of patterns implemented, why not grab an open source .net project such as Paint.NET or CommunityServer and have a look through the codebase? You could also get Reflector and have a look at the source code for the base class library.
