It might surpise you, as to what kind of title is this...

But this semester (Semester VI..oh I know..you are not interested...) I am supposed to learn C#..

Questions!!!!

1) Is it very much similar ?? (begins with public static void main (String args []???)

2) Does it have libraries/include files similar to that of Java (built in???)

3) Where can I find a compiler for C# for Windows (Free) and even for Redhat Based Linux ?

4) Does C# having a lot of other stuff like Swing, Awt, beans and stuff...

5) The best books for it

6) The best websites (ofcourse PF...but providing theory details...datatypes..:-? ..and please...other than Microsoft.com. It is implied ..I know it!)

Oops I missed something out..there...

1) It goes a little like this, but the idea is the same:

(Toggle Plain Text)

static void Main(string[] args)

2) You bet

(Toggle Plain Text)

using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Net;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Collections;
etc

3) Look for SharpDevelop... its free and you can code C# and VB.Net (under windows). You will need Mono if you want to code C# in Linux.

4) C# is loaded.

5) I have C# Bible, C# .Net Black Book, C# Programming, and C# A Programmer's Introduction... all are good.

6) Google.com

Thanks for cute little information IR...Sir

C# is a great language and thanks to mono it's cross platform!

java_roshan · Nov 19th, 2005, 6:09 AM

IR ...Sir, I have read in the Complete Reference Book of C#, that generally, programmers prefer the declaration of the Main() as public. And, most who use C# for commercial projects work with Visual Studio IDE...and the examples cited in that have Main() declared with public
I may have to use the same, in our college computer lab as we have Visual Studio installed!

Also, C# is better suited for the .Net Environment..is what I have read..
What I am interested to know is ....
Can C# be run on computers with no .Net Environment (though I have even read this too..) but on computers with GNU/Linux?
Secondly, are there "CLR" and "JIT compilers" available for free or are they just native MICRO$OFT...

True. Use public static void Main.

Better suited compared to what, exactly? C# is designed for the .NET language, as is Visual Basic .NET, J#, and, to a lesser extent, C++ .NET.

Check out Mono. Many C# applications can be run in Linux using it.

this meant whether, it cud be run on Windows not having the .NET environment..and is fruitful with .NET env. installed!
