Microsoft C# (pronounced C sharp) is a new programming language designed for building a wide range of enterprise applications that run on the .NET Framework. An evolution of Microsoft C and Microsoft C++, C# is simple, modern, type safe, and object oriented. C# code is compiled as managed code, which means it benefits from the services of the common language runtime. These services include language interoperability, garbage collection, enhanced security, and improved versioning support.

C# is introduced as Visual C# in the Visual Studio .NET suite. Support for Visual C# includes project templates, designers, property pages, code wizards, an object model, and other features of the development environment. The library for Visual C# programming is the .NET Framework.

It could be described as a cross between C++ and Java - the syntax looks more like C++ but feature-wise it's much closer to Java.

Actually, like I said before, it's closer to Java than C++ (garbage collection, runs from intermediate bytecode and not native machine language, etc).
