Powerful and Modern Programming Language
Powerful, type-safe and object-oriented programming language developed by Microsoft. It offers an ideal solution for modern software development.
The development process and important milestones of the C# language
C# 1.0 was released with the .NET Framework by Microsoft. The language was designed as an alternative to Java and C++ under the leadership of Anders Hejlsberg.
C# 2.0 and Generics feature was released. Generics, nullable types, anonymous methods and iterators were added. This version significantly increased the power of the C# language.
C# 3.0 and LINQ feature was released. LINQ (Language Integrated Query), lambda expressions, extension methods and var keyword were added. Functional programming features were strengthened.
.NET Core and Open Source era began. Microsoft made C# open source with .NET Core and provided cross-platform support. The development process became transparent on GitHub.
C# 12 and Modern Features were added. Primary constructors, collection expressions and interceptors were added. Performance and developer experience are continuously improved.
The powerful features and basic features of the C# language
Prevents runtime errors by checking types at compile-time. Supports safe and error-free code writing.
string name = "John Doe";
int age = 25;
// Type mismatch is caught at compile-time
Memory management is done automatically with the Garbage Collector. It prevents memory leaks and optimizes performance.
var list = new List<string>();
list.Add("Item 1");
// Memory is automatically cleaned up
Data querying operations can be performed directly in the language with Language Integrated Query.
var result = users
.Where(u => u.Age > 18)
.Select(u => u.Name)
.ToList();
Develop performant and responsive applications with the async/await pattern for asynchronous programming.
public async Task<string> GetDataAsync()
{
return await httpClient.GetStringAsync(url);
}
Supports reusable and performant code writing with type parameters.
public class Repository<T>
{
public T GetById(int id) { }
}
Develop applications that run on Windows, macOS and Linux platforms with .NET Core/5+.
dotnet run --project MyApp.csproj
