Around 1997, Microsoft started a project that was
internally known as Project Lightning (and also known as
Project 42). The name "Project 42" was most likely because
DevDiv (the Microsoft Developer Division) is in Building
42, which (as James points out) is probably an homage to
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams.
There were several names being considered, one of which was
the COM Object Runtime (COR), which is where the name for
the mscorlib.dll assembly came from. This is the assembly
which contains all of the CLR's main types and is really
the only one that must be loaded by every .NET app domain.
Speaking of assembly loading, the code name for the CLR
Loader is Fusion, which provides the name for the Assembly
Log Binding Log Viewer utility - fuslogvw.exe: Fusion
Assembly Log Viewer.
The codename of C# was Project Cool and was supposedly
a "clean-room" implementation of Java. It was later changed
to C# based on a musical scale. Just as C++ added the "++"
to "C" since it was considered to be "adding to" or "one
greater than" C, the sharp (#) on a musical scale means one
semi-tone above the note. So, in both cases the name
implies one above or higher than the original.
This musical theme continues today, as there are two MS
Research languages that follow this same scheme: F# and
Polyphonic C# (which is now part of Cω).
