Programming In C#

The C# language derives from C++ but is much superior to its predecessor. Its superiority is due to the features that were introduced into C# as a part of the .Net Framework. These features include Automatic Garbage Collection, Generics, Versioning, LINQ, Lambda, and the different types of applications that can be developed using C#. These applications can be classified as Windows Applications, Web Applications, Web Services, and Dos based applications.

Besides these applications, C# is supported by the JIT – Just in Time compiler- that compiles only the part that was changed, thus improving the performance of C# programs. Windows Forms in C# provide the Graphical interface to the applications. ADO.Net provides Database Connectivity with almost any kind of a database. LINQ provides a way for using queries to search for strings and almost everything the user wants.

C# is also used for Web development with ASP.Net. While developing the web applications using ASP.Net with C# users can also take advantage of certain technologies such as JQuery and AJAX.

As far as development is concerned, Microsoft has provided an IDE for developing programs and applications. The IDE is known as Microsoft Visual Studio or the Microsoft Visual Web Developer.
