What is the difference between C# and .NET?

What is the difference between C# and .NET?

C# is a programming language
→C# syntax is highly expressive, yet it is also simple and easy to learn.
The curly-brace syntax of C# will be instantly recognizable to anyone familiar with C, C++ or Java.
Developers who know any of these languages are typically able to begin to work productively in C# within a very short time.

.NET is a framework for building applications on Windows
→ .NET framework is not limited to C# there are different languages that can target .net framework and build applications using that framework examples are F# and VB.NET
→has two components
  • CLR (Common Language Runtime) 
  • Class libray for building applications
The knowledge of C# implies some knowledge of .NET (because the C# object model corresponds to the .NET object model and you can do something interesting in C# just by using .NET libraries).
The opposite isn't necessarily true as you can use other languages to write .NET applications.
