C# Programming Language

C# Language

·Looks a lot like Java.

–A strong analogy between:

•Java Virtual Machine & .Net CLR

•Java bytecodes & .Net Intermediate Language

•Java packages & CRL components and assemblies

•Both have Just In Time (JIT) compilers

•Both support reflection, used to obtain class information at run time

•Both languages lack generics

·Differences:

–Java and C# do have significant differences

•C# has most of the operators and keywords of C++

•C# has enumerations

•C# plans to add generics in the second release of Visual Studio 7

•C# code supports attributes – tagged metadata
