C++ -> C#: What You Need to Know to Move from C++ to C#

[C++ Programming]

C# builds on the syntax and semantics of C++, allowing C programmers to take advantage of .NET and the common ******** runtime. While the transition from C++ to C# should be a smooth one, there are a few things to watch out for including changes to new, structs, constructors, and destructors. This article explores the ******** features that are new to C# such as garbage collection, properties, foreach loops, and interfaces. Following a discussion of interfaces, there's a discussion of properties, arrays, and the base class libraries. The article concludes with an exploration of asynchronous I/O, attributes and reflection, type discovery, and dynamic invocation.
