Hi..

Why C# is pronounced as C-sharp instead of C-hash? Is there any technical reason behind it?

0	Good question. The simple answer would be that as Microsoft has developed this language and they started calling it as C-Sharp so its being called as CSharp instead of C-hash.

0	Wikipedia says The name "C sharp" was inspired from musical notation where a sharp indicates that the written note should be made a half-step higher in pitch Thank you for posting at Dotnetfunda Vuyiswa Maseko Thank you for posting at Dotnetfunda [Administrator] Naveena, if this helps please login to Mark As Answer. \| Alert Moderator
