why is C# used?

[vinsai]

I'm a new(ish) programmer and I've been honing my skills doing a little game hacking. Just about all of the source code I've found for wow bots uses C#, I was wondering why it's the standard. The first page that comes up when googling "WoW API" is this on WoWwiki . I don't know much of anything about C#, but the syntax looks similar to the C# I've seen before.

Are these the libs that people use to code bots? I downloaded the UI customization tool from Blizzard, are these the same libs on wowwiki?

I guess that's enough questions for now, thanks for any help and thanks for the awesome forum, I think I'll be spending a lot of time here.

I thought the WoW API is written in LUA?

the WoWAPI and UI customization arent for hacks there for making UI addons

Well, in programing bots for wow, you need to memoryread the important info (health XYZ etc), and use KeyStrokes or using CTM memorywriting (for movement) .
I suggest you learn howto read & write memory.

It's not written in LUA, it's accessed through LUA.

C# is a programming language, LUA is a scripting language.
