C# is a popular general-purpose programming language developed for the Microsoft .NET Framework. C# is fully object orientated and is enjoying continuous improvement by Microsoft. C# programs are portable across all recent Microsoft operating systems since Windows 98 (but only partially on 98). C# programs consist of .exe or .dll files, each containing Microsoft Intermediate Language instructions, a manifest (table of contents), metadata, and (possibly) encapsulated resources such as images or audio.

To execute, C# program require the installation of the .NET Framework's common-language runtime (CLR), a virtual machine that hides any operating system details. The .NET common-language runtime (CLR) is available for both Windows applications and (Microsoft) web server applications.
