C# is a general-purpose object-oriented programming language developed at Microsoft by Anders Hejlsberg, a Danish software engineer having a rich background in the creation of programming languages. C# programming language is loosely based on C++ Programming and Java Programming Languages. C# was developed in the year 2000, Since then it has been one of the famous programming languages used to develop desktop, web, and mobile applications. C# can be used to write managed and unmanaged code. The Common Language Runtime (CLR) helps interoperability between other programming languages supported by the Visual Studio such as C++ and VB.NET. C# programs are compiled into MIL (Microsoft Intermediate Language) and then transformed into machine language by the compiler to execute. Like Java, C# also manages the garbage collection this feature distinguishes it from the other C-Family programming languages such as C and C++ where garbage collection and memory management is the programmer’s headache. C# programming language inherited C-style coding with PascalCase for classes and methods. It uses camelCase for method parameters and local and private variables. C# applications are developed using a rich IDE (Integrated Development Environment) called Visual Studio which has various versions since Visual Studio 97. The new Visual Studio IDE is a powerful development tool that helps developers to a great deal in the development of their applications.
