    Hi everyone, just wanted to know a few things about this programming language.

    1. What is it?
    2. What can the program produce?
    3. What software package can be used to create these programs
    4. Can anyone point me to a few starter tutorials to get the hang of it.

    Maybe if you can actually put some code snippets, e.g. hello world etc.

    Thanks,

    1) It is based on C++ developed by microsoft to work in the .Net framework

    2) Any program as long as the PC/ Server it runs on has the appropriate .Net framework installed - can be desktop, server or web

    3) Pro's will use Visual Studio but there is a free version Visual C# Express

    4) Depends if you are looking for desktop or web applications.

    Another 'fully' free option is SharpDevelop. I haven't used it for webapps but I find it really good for desktop applications.

    Not sure why you would install IIS if it is for desktop applications???

    http://www.csharp-station.com/ used to have some relatively good tutorials but to be honest we program in VB.Net most of the time... the two languages can be easily converted from one to the other with only a couple of minor elements that arent directly transferable (eg optional parameters in VB dont exist in C# but both can use overloads)
