Nope nope nope. C# is a statically typed, statically compiled (i.e., no eval(...) or exec(...)), single-inheritance langauge with a bondage-and-discipline syntax almost identical to Java's. It compiles to run on the Common Language Runtime, which is conceptually similar to the JVM. Other than some syntactic sugar, C#'s primary difference from the latest Java (v1.5) is that its standard libraries (the .Net stuff) are much poorer -- this is particularly noticeable in its Collections API. -- Walt -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
