The .NET languages
In the past, you chose the development language for an application based upon the functionality that you were trying to perform. Some languages were more powerful than others, but at the same time they might have required a higher level of understanding and were, in most cases, more difficult to program in.
Now the .NET Framework provides you with a language-independent programming platform. You do not have to decide which language would provide a better solution. All languages are now on a level playing field.
In .NET, no one language is superior to any of the other languages. They all have equal access to everything that .NET offers.
To be part of the .NET Framework, a language only has to follow certain rules. The biggest and most important rule for inclusion is that the language needs to be an object-oriented language. Microsoft provides four languages with the .NET Framework: Visual Basic .NET, C#, C++.NET, and JScript .NET. Microsoft also provides J# (pronounced J-sharp), but in order to use this new language that is basically Java for .NET, you need to download the language to install it on your server. You can find this download at http://msdn.microsoft.com.
