.NET Forum / Windows Forms / WinForm General / December 2004Is C# is having a seperate class library?
Is C# is having a seperate class library?. Because it offers several features comparing to other .NET languages.  SignaturePerin I think that you're confusing "class library" and "language features." They're not the same thing at all. C# has the same class library as VB.NET, C++.NET, and whatever-else.NET. You can instantiate the same objects and call the same methods in all .NET languages. However, some languages have syntax that doesn't exist in the other languages. This language syntax allows you to do different things in the language, or express the same concepts in different ways. The _language_ is different, but the _classes_ that you're working with are the same. There is only one "exception" to what I just said, and that is that some languages (notably C#) have some language syntax that allows you to get at properties and methods of classes that other languages "can't see." I'm talking about C#'s and C++'s ability to define operators for new type combinations, something for which VB.NET does not have built-in syntax. In this one case there are a few methods in the class library that you can use from C# but not from VB.NET. However, 99% of what is in the .NET Framework is usable from all .NET languages, and no, there is no separate class library for C#. > There is only one "exception" to what I just said, and that is that > some languages (notably C#) have some language syntax that allows you [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > built-in syntax.

Actually, you can use (existing) operators from VB.NET aswell, but you can't define your own. It does look kind of weird though: If Rectangle.op_Equality(rc1, rc2) Then instead of if (rc1 == rc2) IIRC someone mentioned that VB.NET will have full support for operators in 2.0 /claes I think that you're confusing "class library" and "language features."
