Software written in C#

Fair enough but I reckon Nokia PC Suite is a far better application for what I needed however that is being retired (and replace with Ovi Suite) from what I understand.

Understood. I prefer PC Suite on XP, OVI Suite on Win7 - and it's now an integrated product. OVI Music, OVI Store, OVI Contacts (should you choose) and internet tethering all in one (big) app.

Which is probably a reason for the sluggishness. Personally don't want OVI Music (have enough MP3s), OVI Store (my phone doesn't support any of them) or OVI Contacts (quite happy with Gmail contacts) which is probably why I hate it :D

Mind you, tossing the Nokia soon anyway so will see what the competitors offer.
 
Are you looking for desktop specific item? The reason I ask is there are a large number of open source C# websites out there (mainly blog engines) and also open source class libraries that range from error logging to ORM's and anything in between. If you are looking for libraries have a look at Nuget as a large percentage of the libraries up there are open source. Nuget itself is open source.

(I work mainly in the web side of things so that is probably the main reason I am more familiar with the various projects)
 
Doesnt seem to be much of note written in C# based on the replies in this thread.

LOL Depends on where you look. I know of (and have had a hand in writing) financial institutions that run their business on C# apps - you just can't see them...

SharpDevelop isn't exactly the greatest program to have on C#'s "portfolio". My experience with using it was a constant stream of crashes and swearing.
I almost wet my pants when Visual C# express came out.

Now someone can correct me if I am wrong but AFAIK the entire Visual Studio 2010 interface is done in WPF - which would mean C#.

I know the splash screen is written in C++, I also doubt they would have written the rest of the interface in C#?

Okay, but I was thinking about stuff with millions of users... like the .NET paint example (which I used to use so am fond of).

I know. I must admit I'm struggling to think here. Looking at my PC now to see what's running on the .Net framework:

Sidebar (Windows 7)
Outlook 2010
smtp4dev (nice little dev app)

These are the only apps that are .Net processes right now on my machine - although Outlook 2010 (Not Office, just Outlook) is a big one. Not even VS2010 shows up as a .Net process (using Process Explorer).
 
Oh, how could I forget...then there's mytvix.notions.co.za....written by ME!

Its a media player app. I put a beta expiry date on it so I think it wont work. Busy working on it successor.

I think the reason why C# desktop apps are few and far between is that it WAS a schlep for people to have to install the the .NET framework first. So its not really first choice for general desktop apps for the mass market.

I reckon C# Web Apps are much greater in number. Its much harder to identify C# web apps. The first clue are those web apps that have .ASPX in the URL. Many developers are going MVC where the URL's are clean eg http://domain.com/customer/details/2 . You won't know if its PHP or ASP.NET (C#) behind the scenes.

I know a few massive institutions in South Africa who's public websites are C#.

Paint.NET is REALLY good. I do a lot of graphic manipulation for work and play and use it exclusively.

Is no Paintshop PRO or Gimp killer but it comes pretty close.

It requires the .NET 3.5 framework which is a massive clue that it was written in C#. Googling a bit you'll be able to find the source code and verify it.

Thanks for the tip..... going to check that out..... should save me alot of hassles...... :)

...or Java, Python, Ruby...

As roguemat mentioned, there are numerous ways of rewriting URLs to look "clean". ASP.NET MVC (not just MVC, as you referred to it) just makes it easier by implementing HTTP Handlers to do the rewriting for you. It really isn't all that complicated - I wrote my own HTTP Module a couple of years ago that I can just include in any ASP.NET web app that handles the URL rewriting for me. No need to toy with ISAPI filters on IIS.

A big clue for knowing whether a site is done in ASP.NET (not MVC) is looking at the source of the page. You'll find a hidden field for viewstate and a __doPostBack javascript function rendered to the page, as well as a couple of script includes (usually for ASP.NET AJAX). Determining whether a page was written in ASP.NET MVC is a bit trickier, because those won't be present, due to the ASP.NET MVC framework giving the developer control of the output rendered to the client (as it should :p ).
