If you draw 4 close plus signs they make a bug Sharp sign (use some imagination and look at drawing below) so C# is like C++++... :-) C ++ ++ Yuval An explanation (rumor?) I heard to the # sign:

Sorry to not surprise you. @curious - MSCorEE is the Microsoft COM Object Runtime Execution Engine. It is responsible for loading the correct version of the .NET Framework into the process. @Everyone - Thanks to everyone else for your comments and pointers to additional information. @boxlight – What you consider common (or easily guessed) knowledge is a mystery to others, especially those without musical training.

C++ is object-oriented, C# is component-oriented (whatever that means). Here's some more history of C# that I scrounged together several years ago, with some more recent input from someone on the CLR team at the end. http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?HistoryOfCsharp I’m probably reading WAY too much into this, but I like to think of the # symbol as smooshing two + symbols together.

I always wonder what enigmatic Microsoft abbreviations or acronyms stand for. What is MSCorEE? Thank you. It wasn’t difficult to figure out what C# means.

What is MSCorEE?

In other news, C++ was called C++ because "++" is a popular way to increment an integer. Therefore, C++ is one greater than C. Ta da! C# name was musically inspired.
