Since y'all were so helpful, I think I will try to
continue this.

Although C# is allegedly based on (an extension of
the idea) of Java and C++ , I see a lot of pascal
sorts of things in it ... maybe I should say "Delphi
things".  To explain, the syntax is not very Delphi
like, but I see a lot of ideas from Delphi built
into C#.  I understand that Andres Heilsberg (sp)
is the main C# architect and likely this is the
reason.  Am I "full of it" or is this obvious to
y'all also??

I ask this question because I think
it will likely reduce my "learning curve".  I have
been reading the book "C# and the .Net Platform"
by Andrew Troelsen which is a little different
for me ... that is reading a book BEFORE I
install the software ... the software box is
still sitting on my desk.  Its a very good book
in case you ever need one.
