Background: C# is a simple, modern, general-purpose, object-oriented programming language. Anders Hejlsberg is the chief architect for C#. It has an object-oriented syntax that evolved out of C++. The most recent version of the language is 3.0, and it was released in conjunction with the In 1999, when Anders Hejlsberg formed a team to create the language, they originally planned to call it COOL (C-like Object Oriented Language). However, there were copyright problems with that name, and it was renamed C#. C Sharp in music means a half of a step higher in pitch. In programming, C Sharp indicates that this is an outgrowth of C++.

Anders Hejlsberg has repeated said that flaws in most major programming languages (e.g. C++, Java, Delphi, and Smalltalk) drove the fundamentals of the Common Language Runtime (CLR), which, in turn, drove the design of the C# programming language itself.

Versions:

  • C# 1.0 – introduced 2000 / released January 2002
  • C# 1.2 – released April 2003
  • C# 2.0 – released November 2005
  • C# 3.0 – released November 2007
  • C# 4.0 – in development

Design Goals:

  • C# is intended to be a simple, modern, general-purpose, object-oriented programming language.

    • The language should provide support for:

  • strong type checking
  • array bounds checking
  • detection of attempts to use uninitialized variables
  • automatic garbage collection
  • Software robustness
  • durability
  • programmer productivity
  • The language is for developing software components suitable for deployment in distributed environments.
  • Source code portability and programmer portability are important, especially for those programmers already familiar with C and C++.
  • internationalization is very important.
  • C# is intended to be suitable for writing applications for both hosted and embedded systems

    • Distingushing Features of C#

    • There are no global variables or functions. All methods and members must be declared within classes. Static members of public classes can substitute for global variables and functions.
    • Local variables cannot shadow variables of the enclosing block, unlike C and C++.
    • C# supports a strict Boolean datatype, bool. Statements that take conditions, such as while and if, require an expression of a boolean type. While C++ also has a boolean type, it can be freely converted to and from integers
    • In C#, memory address pointers can only be used within blocks specifically marked as unsafe, and programs with unsafe code need appropriate permissions to run.
    • Managed memory cannot be explicitly freed; instead, it is automatically garbage collected.
    • Multiple inheritance is not supported, although a class can implement any number of interfaces.
    • C# is more typesafe than C++.
