What is C# C# is pronounced as "C-Sharp". It is an object-oriented programming language provided by Microsoft that runs on .Net Framework. By the help of C# programming language, we can develop different types of secured and robust applications: Window applications Web applications Distributed applications Web service applications Database applications etc. C# is approved as a standard by ECMA and ISO. C# is designed for CLI (Common Language Infrastructure). CLI is a specification that describes executable code and runtime environment. C# programming language is influenced by C++, Java, Eiffel, Modula-3, Pascal etc. languages. C# Features C# is object oriented programming language. It provides a lot of features that are given below. Simple Modern programming language Object oriented Type safe Interoperability Scalable and Updateable Component oriented Structured programming language Rich Library Fast speed 1) Simple C# is a simple language in the sense that it provides structured approach (to break the problem into parts), rich set of library functions, data types etc. 2) Modern Programming Language C# programming is based upon the current trend and it is very powerful and simple for building scalable, interoperable and robust applications. 3) Object Oriented C# is object oriented programming language. OOPs makes development and maintenance easier where as in Procedure-oriented programming language it is not easy to manage if code grows as project size grow. 4) Type Safe C# type safe code can only access the memory location that it has permission to execute. Therefore it improves a security of the program. 5) Interoperability Interoperability process enables the C# programs to do almost anything that a native C++ application can do. 6) Scalable and Updateable C# is automatic scalable and updateable programming language. For updating our application we delete the old files and update them with new ones. 7) Component Oriented C# is component oriented programming language. It is the predominant software development methodology used to develop more robust and highly scalable applications. 8) Structured Programming Language C# is a structured programming language in the sense that we can break the program into parts using functions. So, it is easy to understand and modify. 9) Rich Library C# provides a lot of inbuilt functions that makes the development fast. 10) Fast Speed The compilation and execution time of C# language is fast.
