.NET in CSharp?

[Natan]

Just curiosity. I was wondering... does anyone know if the .NET Class
Library (or part of it) was programmed in C#?

[J.Marsch]

I don't know whether it was in C#, but a lot of it is in managed code, which
implies either Managed C++, C#, VB.Net, or directly in IL (or any of the
other languages that are managed)

Natan,

I believe that a good deal of the framework that was coded in managed
code (not the parts that use interop) were coded in C#.

You can obtain most of the .NET namespaces in native C# code through the
Shared Source Common Language Infrastructure (SSCLI) downloadable at:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

Watch for the line wrap. This is really cool, you can see how the classes
are implemented in C# code.

The bulk of the source code in the Rotor Framework is in C#. While this
is not the same code as the released .NET Framework, Rotor and the
official Framework's source supposedly both branched from the same codebase.

I think that the answer is yes. Part of .NET is surely developed in
C#... anyway you can take a look at rotor source codes...

Most (if not all) of the FCL was written in C#.

Cool! I din't know that! Thanks!

Yes, its mostly DllImport and COM calls :D

Sure some classes need to call Win32 native code or are interfacing with
COM, but does that mean the FCL is not written in C#?

They are but they rely heavily on interop.

Sure, but isn't that the case for any programming language used on any
platform (take Java, Delphi etc..)
How would you, for instance, read data from a file or draw text to the
screen without calling into OS services?
..NET is not an operating system nor a replacement, its a multilanguage
application development platform and the FCL are just another layer (written
in C#) between the users written applications and services offered by the OS
the CLR or COM, nothing less nothing more.
