BANGALORE, INDIA: ”Every C# programmer is aware of common bugs. But there are some uncommon bugs that happen for unusual reasons,” said SG Ganesh, Member Technical Staff Siemens Corporate Technologies.

According to him, the best practices recommended for a C++, java programmer might not be relevant for C#. Programming in one language while thinking it to be another causes lots of bugs that may be called Language Transition Bugs. Java and C# are similar, so language transition may lead to bugs.

C# has many new features that are not familiar to programmers from other language background. If you don’t understand a particular feature then it becomes bug prone. Bad API design in .NET also can lead to bugs.

“The kind and cause of bugs are wide and varied. One should be careful while programming from different language. One should be careful with complex codes and de-duplicating codes. A polyglot programmer should think about these challenges,” Ganesh pointed out, while talking at a session named C# Bugs at Spark IT 2010 in Bangalore.
