C# is a modern, object-oriented language that enables
programmers to quickly build a wide range of applications for the
next-generation Microsoft .NET platform. Because of its elegant design,
which combines the raw power of C++ with the simplicity of Visual Basic,
C# is a great choice for architecting a wide range of components-from
high-level business objects to system-level applications. Get a head
start on developing in C# with this first printed look at the complete
C# language specification. This MSDN guide includes the essential
features and basic concepts of the C# language, plus in-depth analysis
of the lexical structure of the language. It also provides details about
types, variables, conversions, expressions, statements, namespaces,
classes, structures, arrays, interfaces, enumerators, delegates,
exceptions, and attributes; information on how C# simplifies coding by
omitting pointers as a data type-or lets you get closer to the hardware
by declaring and operating on pointers in unsafe code-a list of
attributes used for creating programs that interoperate with COM
programs, plus a list of other key references.
