C Sharp Programming at Wikibooks
C#[b] (/si: ???rp/) is a multi-paradigm programming language encompassing strong
typing, imperative, declarative, functional, generic, object-oriented (class-
based), and component-oriented programming disciplines. It was developed by
Microsoft within its .NET initiative and later approved as a standard by Ecma
(ECMA-334) and ISO (ISO/IEC 23270:2006). C# is one of the programming languages
designed for the Common Language Infrastructure.

C# is a general-purpose, object-oriented programming language.[15] Its development

team is led by Anders Hejlsberg. The most recent version is C# 7.2, which was
released in 2017 along with Visual Studio 2017 version 15.5.[1
