Often times, people interchange c# and c#.net. But actually, they are just referring to c#. I think it's just to distuingish that the c# version is .NET. just like when you say vb6 or vb.net, vc++ 6 or vc++.net. The only difference is that c# has no version in visual studio 6, so people just call it plain c#, or sometimes c#.net. IMHO.

you can see in the link below various usages of c# and c#.net http://search.msdn.microsoft.com/search/Default.aspx?query=C%23.net&brand=msdn&locale=en-us&refinement=00&lang=en-us

The C# Language is a Programming Language. Not sure what you mean by C#.NET. You probably mean just .NET . .NET is a framework with a library that uses the .NET Runtime (CLR).

The difference is that .NET can be programmed using a variety of languages (C#, VB.NET, J#, Managed C++).
