Default Difference between C# and C++

Hi all,

What are the differences between C# and C++. I'm not talking about minor syntax differences but the big picture.

I want to learn some C. I have a project. What are the pros and cons of using C++ over C#?

Thanks

C# is a managed language, e.g. the JIT compiler handles the conversion from High lvl code down into Native Machine code where as C++ is unmanaged code. C# and C++ are night and day however, C# is a more high lvl language and c++ is more a low lvl language.

However, C++ is not to be confused with C as they are both different languages C++ being a later dirivitive of C.
