Microsoft Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Shibuya, Tokyo; President and CEO: Michael Rawding) announces the establishment of and public announcement on March 22 of C#, the latest object-oriented programming language originally developed by Microsoft Corporation, as the Japanese Industrial Standard JIS X 3015 C# Programming Language standard.

The C# programming language is the latest object-oriented language developed on, and inheriting the powerful functionality of, the C++ programming language base. With a powerful language system that is easy for developers to understand, C# can be easily mastered by developers who use the C, C++ or Java programming languages.

Microsoft, Intel and Hewlett-Packard jointly proposed the C# programming language to the international standards body Ecma International (1), which resulted in the establishment of an ECMA standard in 2001. C# was adopted as an international programming language standard by ISO/IEC JTC1 (2) in 2003, and now has been established as a JIS standard in line with the international standards.
