Are these languages the same?

Hi I just noticed that with C# I also have J#. What is this J# language, is this just java for windows applications?

I am thinking about building a web forms application and im wondering if i should use J# instead of C# will there be any advantages/disadvantages of using J#? Does is support all of the features C# does?

Thanks.

I don't know anything about it, but this is what I found on wiki about it.

J# iswritten in Java like manner while C# is more similar to C/C++ but both are .NET language.

The only thing is there may not be support or samples with it. So you may have great difficulties trying to get samples as references. If you're looking for a .NET language to begin with, I would recommend you go for something you're comfortable with. But if you're new to .NET, i would recommend C# to begin with.
