Is C# a high level language? I see it as more like medium level, but I am still unsure about this. Would you consider it as high level as some of the popular scripting languages?
Or does it accommodate more than one level?

From what I have read from various sources, C# is considered a 3GL language. A higher level language 4GL would look more like natural language and a 5GL language is about constraints based programming (artificial intelligence) where you define the constraints of a problem but leave it up to the computer to solve it.
If you judge the C# language by itself (not considering the .Net framework), it is not a huge departure from other C based languages so in that sense the 3GL definition fits.
