Sharepoint development in what language?

Question

I know this might sound a little silly. but I'm confused as to what language does sharepoint code behind uses? do they use vb or c#? or is it possible to use either? thanks in advance.

Answer 1

C#.

You CAN use any .net language that you want of course, but the vast vast majority of SharePoint books, documentation and Code Samples are in C#. The official Microsoft SharePoint SDK Samples is only in C#.

You really want to use C# if you have to develop for SharePoint, especially if you're just starting.

Answer 2

You can use any language supported by the .NET Framework, Visual Basic and C# included.
