WHen I created this topic, I meant for it to to contain content specific to the MS implementation of C#. So far, there have been no contributions that need to go here, vs. there. That article will probably remain quite short, just describing the distinction between the two. But I think it's useful, and should not be merged. Leotohill 16:08, 5 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A merge of this article with C_Sharp has been discussed and rejected. If you would like to re-open the discussion please do so at talk:C_Sharp.

Visual C# as an IDE

VC# is not the C# language, but the IDE to develop C# on Windows. Still the .NET SDK is a prerequisite to be able to develop with this IDE. I changed the beginning of the article because I feel it was confusing to the reader. Feel free to revert if I'm wrong. Hervegirod 10:41, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, the language itself is called "visual c#". This can be confirmed by running the command line compiler csc.exe - its signature line is "Microsoft Visual C#". I'll revert your changes. Leotohill 04:31, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please expand article

Particularly differences between VC# and C#. Thanks Jon 21:46, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There are no differences. C# is the specification, VC# is the implementation by Microsoft. Leotohill (talk) 16:31, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Article name

Is it valid to refer to the language as Visual C# and skip the Microsoft part? --Stefán Örvarr Sigmundsson 21:27, 27 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As the article explains, almost any reference to "C#" means "Visual C#", so in most contexts there is no difference. C# is the spec, Visual C# the primary implementation of the spec. If someone comes up with a C# implementation that differs significantly from the specification (could they, and still call it C#?) then the article on that one could describe its differences. This article is meant to be short and sweet. Leotohill (talk) 01:46, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
