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.

When the ASP.NET MVC application launches then the application registers one or more patterns with the framework's route table to tell the routing engine what to do with any requests that matches those patterns. When the routing engine receives a request at runtime, it matches that request's URL against the URL patterns registered with it and gives the response according to a pattern match. Routing pattern is as follows A URL is requested from a browser, the URL is parsed (that is, break into controller and action), the parsed URL is compared to registered route pattern in the framework’s route table, if a route is found, its process and send response to the browser with the required response, otherwise, the HTTP 404 error is send to the browser.
