Simple Operating System in C#

[Rajnesh]

Can someone demostrate with a tutorial thru which the Operating System could be developed in C#, i have no idea in System programming in C#. Also tell if the same could be done in other langauges such as Java or J#...If someone already have a coded tutorial for OS in C or C++...could you please post it over...

An OS cannot be coded in C#. It needs to be a language that requires no framework...like C. Yes there are OS's in C, google for them :).

I thing Microsoft Vista is designed in C#, isn't it?

LOL

[tayspen]

Thats a no isnt it, lol. I didnt think so.

[plazmo]

the operating system is made in c. but a lot of the apps are made in c# or vb.net, like the whole ms office suite is written in vb

[Rajnesh]

then can someone guide me to do the start up. I know some Assembly programming and C, but have no idea of how to make it work with system programs....

[plazmo]

you should probably start with learning linux. The start out by working with a small open source linux

[Rajnesh]

thanx friend...i think that would be good enough as it is equally as famous as Windows OS in my country..

Windows vista IS coded in c#, but the core is still in c++ that xp also use (all xp is coded in c++).
All of windows vista is the new .NET 3.0 platform, so it automaticly can run the c# code.

Do some research before you come with stupid answers.

Do some research before you post stupid quips.

See? Not nice, is it? Calm it down, please. :) Answer all the questions you like, but let's keep it polite.

Hi,

First can an OS be coded in C# ? The answer is yes http://research.microsoft.com/os/singularity/ although it is pretty a proof of concept type of OS. Still it is one of the most fascinating projects I have seen. On the other hand all Windows OSes are have to parts kernel and user mode services. All OS kernels are written in C and ASM (not even C++) and no managed code can run on kernel. For user mode OS services from 95 to XP they were based almost totally on COM; but as far as I know Vista has almost as much as c# code on user mode services like COM code.

Hi,
My Suggestion, Start your coding form Boot Loader. Have a knowledge on Booting process.

[Fullmetal99012]

I dont know how to do it, but there is an os that is written in C#. Right now it is just a kernel that is based off of C#. The projects is called singularity.

There is a C# OS system. Its called cosmos, google it. It is coded in C#. but it actually turns it into a native executable that is bootable. its in the infant stage of development. but it does work. and you can download it for free. just to test it out I created a mini OS. that simple out puts all the file names on the drive it was booted from to a console type screen. then just writes some silly lines and some of those text character pictures too. Its a Neat toy. they are looking for people to help develop it further.

yes you can use cosmo to build an os using c#
this is a link for cosmo
