It is based on C++ but there are differences. One quick example is that C# doesn't support multiple inheritance while C++ does.

>>I got the information below from a training/video site I subscribe to. Why would they make a language harder to understand than is needed? What is the reason for having "++" to add 1 and "+=" to add 10? Why not just i+1 or i+10? Doesn't make sense to me. And, this actually is C#, not C++, but I didn't see a C# forum. Unless they are the same?
