Microsoft software written in C#

Does anybody can tell which currently working products of
Microsoft are written in C# ?

Or which products will be written in C# ?

I've was told, as an example, that next generation of the
database SQL Server will be in C#, is that true ?


Regards,
 
The majority of the frameworks are written in C#, as is the JScript.net
compiler. Some parts of VS.NET are written in C#, but the majority is still
in C++ (that will change over time).

Many of the Microsoft websites use C#.

SQL server Yukon (the next version) is not written in C#, but it does
support writing stored procedures in C#.

I don't think VS.NET is in C#, atleast not totally(I recall someone
mentioning that the PropertyGrid control was written in pure managed code,
so probably C#). The framework was mostly written in C#, with a few
excpetions written in C++ for performance reasons, however the loader and
other bits are in C++ as well.
One of MS's CRM apps is in C#, although I can't think of its name off hand.
Other projects probably are, pieces of Longhorn are almost certainly written
in it.
The Longhorn wave should have more apps written in part in C#, as major
applications start to switch to managed code(compiling Office with /clr
maybe), extentsions and other modules can be written inC# for speed and
safety purposes. Yukon is not in C# entirely, that would drop legacy code
and probably performance(databases do ALOT of pointer arithmetic and access
to AWE, etc), although some of the tools very well may be.
 
I have been told by a MS employee that a lot of VS.NET was built in C++ b/c
they had to build C# for instance in the first place before they can build
with it. However, more and more components of it are going to be built with
..NET.

As an aside, Infragistics and Dart have both built implementations totally
in C# and those are some pretty non-trivial apps.
 
Well, that would make sense now wouldnt it :D

A good part of the MSDN website is probably written in managed code (whether
it's C# or VB.NET or JScript.NET is hard to tell)...
