Hi all. I'm currently reading Charles Petzold's Programming in the Key
of C#, and I'm a little confused. I understand that this book (at least
so far) is covering the very basics, but all of the code used thus far
in the book has been taken from the .NET Framework reference library
(System.Console.WriteLine, and plenty of other methods taken from the
System namespace).
What I'm wondering is, where is the code that is actually exclusive to
C#? It seems like everything I'm seeing so far is from the .NET
'language' (I know it's not a real programming language though) and I'm
not seeing anything from C# except keywords and data types. Is this
because C# is so closely connected to the .NET Framework, or do all the
languages (C++, VB, etc.) use a lot of these calls to the .NET Framework?
Hope that made some sense. I still have half the book left to read, and
maybe as it gets more advanced, I'll start seeing the C#-only code
(i.e., things you wouldn't write in the other languages in the same way).
