C was created in the early 1970's by Dennis Ritchie. C++, created by Bjarne Stroustrup in the 1980's, was an attempt to add object-oriented capabilities to C and was originally called "C with classes". Since then, C++ has grown tremendously as a language. C# was created by Microsoft -- specifically Anders Hejlsberg. It retained the C-style syntax, but functions much like Java. Google the history and differences of C, C++, and C# if you are truly interested.
