I was told that is was the 2 plus symbols from C++ overlapping and then it eventually became # - which as well is being 'sharp' in music - also means 'octothorpe'. also it is not surprising that C# stuff is being posted most of the things have already been done in MFC and ATL etc that people would find it hard to write anything new. If you want to make article writing easier, just wander through the MFC stuff and rewrite them in C# - instant article minimum effort - I'd do it myself but I can't be bothered.

    Technically speaking the dictionary would define Visual Basic users as programmers.
    But here again, a very generalized, liberal definition is being employed and it's wrong

                  # as used in musical notation means, half a step above C, which seems fitting. However, it's actually the intersection of two groups of ++ laid over each other and sligtly skewed. Notice how # has 4 +'s in it :) -- Where are we going? And why am I in this handbasket?

                    Did C# really make life that easier???!!! :) Why was it named C#? Any one knows that the sign (#) means "sharp" and it is used in the music and standard notations? It's been so long that only C# stuff are getting posted! May be time for renaming the www.codeproject.com, a www.c#deproject.com Everytime am up on CP, I "C" C# and .NET & ASP! What's up with MFC and Win32! What to feel now? :-D X| :omg:

                    Yes, but what is there left to say about MFC ? You can filter CP on the main page to show you MFC/C++ stuff if that's all you want to see. Personally, I think there is still a good mix, tending towards the stuff the most people are now learning and using. Christian No offense, but I don't really want to encourage the creation of another VB developer. - Larry Antram 22 Oct 2002 C# will attract all comers, where VB is for IT Journalists and managers - Michael P Butler 05-12-2002 Again, you can screw up a C/C++ program just as easily as a VB program. OK, maybe not as easily, but it's certainly doable. - Jamie Nordmeyer - 15-Nov-2002
