    Because h@sh is common parlance for illegal herbage.

    C# is also a musical notation, and its a play on words for being at the "sharp end" of programming technologies.

    Thats why.

    Is that something you have heard officially in regard to the C# name? I'm curious. I know a little of the history of the name and am curious to learn anything additional.

    I kinda thought it was the natural progression of C...

    like in the beginning there was C

    then there was OOP C called C++

    and now there is Microsofts .Net version of C++ (supposed to be better isn't it Bill??) so it's now C#

    I'll deny having posted the following....

    Actually, wouldn't it be more like:

    I the beginning there was C

    then there was OOP C called C++

    Then there was a runtime version of C++ called Java

    Then there was a Microsoft version of Java called C#....
