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 lets you mix all of the Visual Studio languages like VB together into one bag. Why else? Well, C# has some features Java doesn't have. It looks like Java. It was inspired by Java. 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#?
