While X++ and C# share similarities in syntax and both compile to Microsoft .NET CIL, there are key differences in data types and language constructs:
- X++ is more application-aware, especially for ERP-related processes.
- X++ supports dynamic arrays and collection objects that are specifically optimized for ERP applications.
- Reflection is supported in X++ for both classes and tables. C# is more generalized for broader use cases, while X++ is designed with enterprise resource planning in mind.
