What is this C# you are talking about?

C# pronounced as c-sharp, is an object oriented,general purpose programming language that got it existence from the combination of C++, Java and the simplicity of visual basic.

C# was developed by Microsoft within its .NET framework initiative and later approved as a standard by ECMA (ECMA-334).

C# development team was lead by "Anders Hejlsberg" in 2002. It is one of the languages designed for Common Language Infrastructure (CLI). 

The first version of C# 1.0 came out with .net framework in visual studio 2002


From the above, you can understand which version came in which year. Now, I am going to show you C# version with .NET framework and CLR version with Visual Studio.
  • C# 1.0.NET framework 1.0,1.1 , CLR version 1.0, Visual Studio 2002.
  • C# 2.0 .NET framework 2.0 , CLR version 2.0, Visual Studio 2005.
  • C# 3.0 .NET framework 3.0,3.5 , CLR version 2.0, Visual Studio 2008.
  • C# 4.0 .NET framework 4.0 , CLR version 4.0, Visual Studio 2010.
  • C# 5.0 .NET framework 4.5 , CLR version 4.0, Visual Studio 2012,2013.
  • C# 6.0 .NET framework 4.6 , CLR version 4.0 ,Visual Studio 2013,2015.
  • C# 7.0 .NET framework 4.6,4.6.1,4.6.2 , CLR version 4.0, Visual Studio 2015, 2017 RC. 
Today the version mostly in used are C# 6.0 and C# 7.0 with visual studio 2015 and 2017 respectively. 

You can use any of the above versions to develop any kind of software ranging from standalone, web, mobile or embedded system.

Collections in C#

Collections in C# In our previous article , we have learned about how we can use arrays in C#. Arrays in programming are used to group a set of related objects. So one could create an array or a set of Integers, which could be accessed via one variable name. What is Collections in C#? Collections are similar to Arrays, it provides a more flexible way of working with a group of objects. In arrays, you would have noticed that you need to define the number of elements in an array beforehand. This had to be done when the array was declared. But in a collection, you don't need to define the size of the collection beforehand. You can add elements or even remove elements from the collection at any point of time. This article will focus on how we can work with the different collections available in C#. There are three distinct collection types in C#: standard generic concurrent The standard collections are found under the System.Collections. They do not store elemen...

System.IO Namesapce in C#

  System.IO Namesapce in C# A  file  is a collection of data stored in a disk with a specific name and a directory path. When a file is opened for reading or writing, it becomes a  stream . The stream is basically the sequence of bytes passing through the communication path. There are two main streams: the  input stream  and the  output stream . The  input stream  is used for reading data from file (read operation) and the  output stream  is used for writing into the file (write operation). From the above definition of file, the C# provides a namespace that enable us to manipulate file in C# called System.IO.   System.IO  is a  namespace  and it contains a standard IO (input/output) types such as classes , structures , enumerations , and  delegates  to perform a read/write operations on different sources like file, memory, network, etc.   System.IO Classes The table below shows differen...
