Hi Anjli,

I'm sorry, but I do not have the time to give you a personalized tutorial. However, there are several tutorials online. Search google and I'm sure you'll find some. Here is the first one I came across: http://www.csharp-station.com/Tutorial.aspx

I can give you a few quick pointers as well. C++ and C# are very similar. There are some syntactic differences, and C# is a managed language, while C++ is not. C++ will give you lower level access (to operating system components, for example), but C# will make programming much faster. The .Net framework is a library that can be used with many languages, including C++ and C# (more natively with C# than with C++). The .Net framework has tons of useful features and is excellent in combination with Visual Studio. Visual Studio has free versions available for download... search google and you will find them. That would be an excellent IDE to learn C# or C++ in. I would suggest you start with C#... it will make your life easier.

Good Luck,
   Nick
