Visual C# (C Sharp) is a relatively new language introduced by Microsoft along
with Visual Studio. Their goal was to provide the ease of working with Visual
Basic with the flexibility and power of the Java and C++ languages. The syntax
of C# is similar to Java and C++ but the ease of creating a graphical user interface
and an event-driven application rivals Visual Basic.
C# is fully object-oriented, compatible with many other languages using
the .NET Framework. This book incorporates the object-oriented concepts
throughout, as well as the syntax and terminology of the language.
C# is designed to allow the programmer to develop applications that run
under Windows and/or in a Web browser without the complexity generally associated
with programming. With very little effort, the programmer can design
a screen that holds standard elements such as buttons, check boxes, radio buttons,
text boxes, and list boxes. Each of these objects operates as expected,
producing a “standard” Windows or Web user interface.
