  Well, infact (as far as i can remember) the C# was mainly designed by the guy who created the Java language, so i would say that C# has more to do with the Java than C++

  Yes, Anders created the Delphi language for Borland. He was hired by Microsoft to create the C# language. As far as I know, he wasn't involved with Java at all.

  Wow - there's a huge question.

  C is a non object oriented language. C++ was designed by Bjarne Stroustrup to offer OO in C, he'd seen OO in use in smalltalk and other languages. Almost all C programs will compile in C++.

  Object orientation basically means the ability to create classes, and for classes to hide thier internals.

  Java was invented by Sun. Java, like C# and VB.NET, runs on a virtual machine, it was the first language to claim it could run on any computer, given a VM. This did not turn out to be quite true, the truth was, Java apps tend to run badly on a variety of machines :-) Java is an OO language, which owes a lot to C++.

  C# and VB.NET are the two 'flagship' languages of the .NET framework. VB.NET provides a path for VB6 users into .NET, it's syntax is more 'English like' than any of these other languages. C#, in theory has C++ like syntax, in practice I believe it owes more to Java.

  In terms of performance, you can't beat C. C++ is next, then C#, then Java, I would say.

  i know Anders came from Borland, but he wasn't the only one who was working on C#. As i said i might be wrong... but i hope i'm not :)
