i was wondering , in what language does microsoft make their languages :P
assembly ? nah

[GoodGuy17]

C# and VB were made in C++. C++ was made in... well... I don't know :P

[mandai]

The system components of Windows are coded in assembly, whereas programs designed to run on Windows are made in the executable format for the runtime (.Net, VB6, Java, etc) they are targeted at.

E.g. all .Net components are compiled to the IL specification - the program would be interpreted by the .Net framework and then executed by Windows.
Unmanaged components are compiled to the PE specification and only require a version of Windows to be executed.

Mandai can you just made me feel like a starter in VB :O
P.S. I didn't understand that so what were they made in? Put it in format like this:
C# was made in: Language here
etc.

Another way of saying it is: C# programs run via the .Net framework, the .Net framework components run via a PE specification executable, which is then executed by Windows (which is machine assembly at the lowest level).

When you say "C# was made" do you mean the compiler for C# programs, the C# programs themselves or the runtime?

[GoodGuy17]

What was the C# programming language made in? Eg C++
Like I made CodePad in VB. What did they make C# in?

They would probably have a special application for their development it would be much more advanced or they would do it in assembly.
They only give us the basic software yet it is still so expensive. :x

[mandai]

Visual Studio would have most likely been "made" (coded) in C++/Assembly.

Guys if C++, C# and VB is using the .NET to run as i know they do and the .NET uses PE specification executable and the PE is run by Windows (or assembly) how did they make the assembly language then?

[Smiley]

Assembly is the code used by the computer to run itself it was made in machine code which consists of 1's and 0's it was made because machine code is almost impossible for humans to read or write i say almost cause someone had to write it LOL but basically assembly is used to make everything you see on your computer screen. cooll;

Example:
