While the .NET platform was indeed initially released in 2002, the 
project had been officially announced as early as July 2000, so it is 
safe to assume that work on it had started somewhat before 2000.

As for C#, according to Wikipedia it "Appeared in 2001", and development 
had started as early as January 1999.
