Is thier alot of diference between C# and C programming and if so what are the most extreme situations? I am thinking I need to get back up to speed but have not had the time but should be able to have some time in Jan of 2013 so thinking ahead and also hijacking 12x^ thread

There's enough similarities with the syntax, but there are lots of data constructs that are totally different.  What do you mean by "extreme"?

I read your post again an I think I know what you are talking about by "extreme".  C is a very lightweight compiled language with all kinds of ways to hang yourself with memory allocation, type casts, etc.  C# is a strictly object-oriented and strictly type-enforced "interpreted" language.  Yes yes, it's not interpreted directly, but uses an "intermediate language, or IL" to convert from C# to IL.  Everything is an object, so you can manage items as objects with lists, dictionaries, stacks, etc.  It's pretty cool IMHO.  There's LOTS of other differences I'm sure some other people can expand upon.  Get yourself a cheap C# book and check it out.

There are very good openbooks i think on web. i myself used http://openbook.galileocomputing.de/csharp/ Too bad it is in German... But there are alot of powerfull guides out there.

I never used C or c++ but think Delphi is similar to it and (yeah i know this isnt a stealth thread ^^) Pascal uses Delphi stuff. But never toyed with C , c++ so maybe other people could give more advices.

Or if you bored learn java

I have programmed in Turbo Pascal back in the late 80's but it has been some time since I messed with it.
