THE EVOLUTION OF C#:-

While java made its presence all over computing environment with some features still lacking,one of the main features is the CROSS-LANGUAGE INTEROPERABILITY also called as Mixed-Language Programming.

Cross-language interoperability is needed for the creation of large, distributed software systems. It is also desirable for programming software components because the most valuable component is one that can be used by the widest variety of computer languages, in the greatest number of operating environments.

C# includes features that directly support the constituents of components such as properties,methods and events,However , c# ‘s ability to work in a secure,mixed-langage enviornment is perhaps its most important component-oriented feature.

Microsoft c# has come over so far 3 versions 1.0,2.0,3.0.

The C# 3.0 version supports numerous functions and derived values like some of them are as follows.

• Anonymous Types.

• Lambda Expressions.

• Language Integrated Query.

• Partial Methods.

C# Relation With .Net Framework:-

Although C# is a computer language that can be studied on its own, it has a special relationship to its run time environment, the .NET Framework. The reason for this is twofold. First, C# was initially designed by Microsoft to create code for the .NET Framework. Second, the libraries used by C# are the ones defined by the .NET Framework. Thus, even though it is theoretically possible to separate C# the language from the .NET environment, in practice the two are closely linked.

What Is the .NET Framework?

The .NET Framework defines an environment that supports the development and execution of highly distributed, component-based applications. It enables differing computer languages to work together and provides for security, program portability, and a common programming model for the Windows platform.

As it relates to C#, the .NET Framework defines two very important entities. The first is the Common Language Run time (CLR). This is the system that manages the execution of your program. Along with other benefits, the Common Language Runtime is the part of the .NET Framework that enables programs to be portable, supports mixed-language programming, and provides for secure execution.

The second entity is the .net Library,This library gives your program access to the runtime enviornment.For example,if you want to perform I/O,such as displaying something on the screen you will use the .NET class library to do it.if you are new to programming,then the term class may be newa brief definition will suffice; a class is an object-oriented construct that helps organize library,your programs can run anywhere that the .net run time system is supported,Since C# automatically uses the .Net Framework class Library,C# programs are automatically portable to all .Net Environments .

we will discuss .NET FRAMEWORK PARTS BRIEFLY IN THE NEXT BLOG.

Types of C# Programs:-

Before starting to continue with C# programming ,it is worth reviewing the types of applications you can create with c#.

• Console Applications:-

Console Applications run in the command prompt,you will create console applications for which are primarily character-textbased one and simple to understand.

• Windows Forms Applications:-

You can create windows based applications that take advantage of GUI(Graphical User Interface) provided by Microsoft Windows.

• Web-Services:-

Web Services are routines that can called through the web for web oriented interface services.

• Web Form/ASP.NET applications:-

ASP.NET Applications are run on a web-server and generate dynamic web pages.

i hope this will give you a sneak preview about what is c# and its scope over programming environment,

In the coming events we will deal with detailed explanations of c# with examples and tutorials.

The core concepts includes all applications prototypes and domains available in c#-starts from basics of c# to windows,database,xml,networking concepts etc.

This blog not only provides c# tutorials but also gives links e-books,journals etc for the making sense of developing c# better to a maximum extent.

You can expect a whole lot of c# programming experience and it’s a duty to fulfill all your needs in the c# platform.

Thank you…….
