C# utilizes all facilities provided by .NET (and nothing more) as Java
utilizes all facilities provideed by its framework.


I do not know the differences between .NET and Java's framework. The
main difference that i know is that all .NET facilities can be used by
other languages too while the framework of Java can be used only by
Java. So in a sense, "C# is primary the language of .NET" in the sense
that it uses only .NET types and facilities.

The funny thing is that Borland prepares its C# killer code-named
Charlotte. They claim that you can not discern between it and the .NET
itself at all, that is it will be "better" than C#.

Myself believe that .NET is Yet Another API, and i am not so fanatic
about it. I 'll learn it of course beginning from this week. :)
