CSA ISO/IEC 23270:19

CSA Preface

Standards development within the Information Technology sector is harmonized with international standards development. Through the CSA Technical Committee on Information Technology (TCIT), Canadians serve as the SCC Mirror Committee (SMC) on ISO/IEC Joint Technical Committee 1 on Information Technology (ISO/IEC JTC1) for the Standards Council of Canada (SCC), the ISO member body for Canada and sponsor of the Canadian National Committee of the IEC. Also, as a member of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), Canada participates in the International Telegraph and Telephone Consultative Committee (ITU-T).

This Standard has been formally approved, without modification, by the Technical Committee and has been developed in compliance with Standards Council of Canada requirements for National Standards of Canada. It has been published as a National Standard of Canada by CSA Group.

Scope

This specification describes the form and establishes the interpretation of programs written in the C# programming language. It describes

- The representation of C# programs;

- The syntax and constraints of the C# language;

- The semantic rules for interpreting C# programs;

- The restrictions and limits imposed by a conforming implementation of C#.

This specification does not describe

- The mechanism by which C# programs are transformed for use by a data-processing system;

- The mechanism by which C# applications are invoked for use by a data-processing system;

- The mechanism by which input data are transformed for use by a C# application;

- The mechanism by which output data are transformed after being produced by a C# application;

- The size or complexity of a program and its data that will exceed the capacity of any specific dataprocessing system or the capacity of a particular processor;

- All minimal requirements of a data-processing system that is capable of supporting a conforming implementation.
