Why C#?

Although many languages have access to the .NET runtime, C# is the native language of .NET. All but a few of the code examples in this volume are written in C#, because it is, frankly, the best language for the job.

From the standpoint of how .NET works with XML, though, remember that whatever the details of a language’s syntax, the .NET Framework itself works in a consistent and predictable way. You should never fear that an XML document will be handled differently in C++ than in ASP.NET, for example.
