Is c# and visual c++ same?

C# is the web version. Visual C++ is the version that came out before the web version. Both are made by Microsoft. C# requires the .NET CRL (common runtime libraries, installed with the .NET framework) files to be installed on the computer, Visual C++ requires separate RUNTIME LIBRARIES to be installed for applications to run.

Is c# and visual c++ same?
The answer would be no. There's quite a few enhancements in C# and it's much easy to use compared to C++. There are tons of websites out there that list the similarities and differences between the two. Here are a couple of them:

Reply:Nope. C# is called C-sharp and uses alot of the same syntax from C/C++......
Reply:I've programmed under C++ and C# and although they have alot of similarities in their keywords and syntax i find that C# is more closer to Java than C++. So no, Visual C# and Visual C++ are not the same. I perfer to work with C++ for legacy software (or having an easier time working with Win32 Apis) while i use C# for new projects.





C++ is a much older language and so it doesn't really makes things easy with things of today (e.g., internet) and so it is a much harder language to program under. You can accomplish the same things in both languages but it will most definitely take you much longer to do it in C++ than C#. C# (pronunced C-Sharp) is a language that took the best of C++ and made things much easier for today's gotta-get-it-done-yesterday programmer.





And i personally feel C# is better than Java because C# seems to have taken the best of Java and enhanced them. But bravo to the Java makers for better seeing what C++ was try to do more than the C++ peope. But ohmygosh those C++ people had a lot of brilliant ideas back then that you still see C# and Java stealing things into their languages today.





So to sum up, C# is arguably one of the best languages today. I think it is a work of art, and i've played with C, C++, Java, PHP, Visual Basic, etc..
