C++ is regarded as a mid-level language. This indicates that C++ comprises a combination of both high-level and low-level language features. C# is designed specifically to work with the .Net and is geared to the modern environment of Windows and mouse-controlled user interface, networks and the internet.

Forget half of the things that you know in C++. That makes it C#
God Save C++ :))

Key differences between C# and C++


It was a surprise that there was no thread for C++ recipes. Though C++ and C# are quite similar there are some very key and major differences.
-I find C# resembles the style of java more than that of C++ i many ways.

(I will be following this up with some coding recipes, to hopefully start a C++ reciped thread)

Method/Function Declarations:
C++:
public:
Constructor() { }
void aMemberFunction() { }
void aFunctionDeclaration();
private:
void someOtherFunction() { }
int aVariable;

C#:
private aVariable;
public void aMemberFunction() { }
public void aFunctionDeclaration();
private void someOtherFunction() { }

Class Declaration:
For those who know what a managed class is:
C++:
__gc class A_Class{ };
*NOTE that C++ classes end with a ;

C#:
automatically done so:
class A_Class{ }

Inheritence:
C++:
will allow multiple inheritence. eg. allows a method to be overriden many times in subclasses (derived classes).

C#:
supports inheritence, but not multiple, only 1 override per method/function/

key diff..
1. c++ allows pointers but C3 doesnot.
2. c++ reference is represented as &a ...in c# ref a.
3. c++ multiple inheritanc is allowed but not in c#
4. c# contains lots of addition keywords like foreach ...etc
5. like java main is wriiten inside a class in c#..
