C#

Why choose C# for your development language? Well, it's part of Visual Studio, so you have the CLR in bed with you. That's the COmmon Language Runtime.

It even tastes like Java. But...it's not! What do you think? Let's hear about your case studies. Your likes and dislikes. How much is it running in US$ to get a commercial app up and running for your local ... petstore using C#?
