Is C# just for web apps?

Question

What's C# and what are the differences with Visual C#? Is C# just for web apps or can be used like visualbasic or C?

Answer 1

The short answer is no. C# is not just for web apps, it is just another programming language, like Visual Basic or C. It can be used to build a variety of application types, both server and client based.



Strictly speaking there's no such thing as Visual C#. There IS such as thing as Visual Basic though, but no Visual C#. No such animal.



Visual Basic was so named because it was a language which had an IDE (Integrated Development Environment) which heavily used a WYSIWYG interface (What You See Is What You Get) -> hence "Visual" Basic.



There is Visual Studio.NET (VS.NET), which is the most common IDE for all the .NET framework languages. This includes C#, VB.NET, J# etc.



VS.NET provides a user interface to allow a developer to develop applications more rapidly by taking out a lot of the "leg work" of programming, such as compiling your application, or showing you what a final window may look like, very similar to the original concepts of Visual Basic.

Answer 2

C# is a language which, like Java, is compiled into bytecode which is then converted to machine-code at run-time. (The syntax itself is also structurally similar to Java.) The C# language was developed by Microsoft, while Visual C# refers to the implementation of their language and their development environment i.e. the IDE/editor etc. (The previous person's statement that there's no such thing as Visual C# is incorrect). There have been attempts to port C# to other platforms and operating systems, but they're independent open-source projects and not official Microsoft implementations of the language or libraries. C# has a number of strengths, one of which is ease-of-use for internet communication which is why it's often used for web apps (it's mainly used server-side though, because Internet Explorer is the only browser that properly supports C# scripting). It's also reasonably good with regards to run-time security, which is why it's again used for web apps and also for Microsoft-sanctioned homebrew development on the XBox 360 (i.e. XNA).

Answer 3

no C# is not onlyy for web applications,it can be a better replacement of powerfull languages like C,C++,VB

this will be used for windows aplications,mobile programing,automation,socket programing to make an interaction among devices....



visual c# is there which is same as C#.NET
