Introduction to C#
C# (pronounced "C sharp") is a programming language designed for building a variety of applications which can also run on the .NET Framework. C# is simple, powerful, type-safe, and object-oriented language. Maintaining the expressiveness and elegance of old C language innovations help C# for rapid application development.
Visual C# is an implementation of the C# language by Microsoft. Visual Studio supports Visual C# with a full-featured code editor, compiler, project templates, designers, code wizards, a powerful and easy-to-use debugger, and other tools. For speedy development of secure and robust applications .NET Framework class library provides access to many operating system services and other useful, well-designed classes.
C# is used to create traditional Windows client applications, XML Web services, distributed components, client-server applications, database applications, and much, much more. In Visual C# 2010 we get an advanced code editor, convenient user interface designers, integrated debugger, and many more tools to make for easier development of applications with C# 4.0 of the .NET Framework.
