C# Start Page

C#, pronounced C-sharp, is a new programming language introduced in Visual Studio 7.0. An evolution of C and C++, C# is simple, modern, type safe, and object oriented. C# was designed for building a wide range of enterprise applications that run on the Web Services and Windows DNA platforms. Code that you write with C# is compiled as managed code, which means it benefits from the services of the NGWS runtime. These services include language interoperability, garbage collection, enhanced security, and improved versioning support.

C# is fully supported within Visual Studio by project templates, designers and property pages, code assistants, an object model, and other features of the development environment. The framework library for C# programming is the NGWS Base Framework.

Visual Studio and the MSDN library include the following documentation to help you learn the C# language and write C# applications.
