C# or Visual C# both are same?

In many place on internet or book I read about these two words interchangeably. Both are same or different?

They are the same. There isn't really any product named "Visual C#"

It may be a mixup, either with Visual Studio that is the IDE for Microsoft's implementation of C#, with Visual C# Express which is a free limited version of the IDE only supporting development in C#, or with Visual Basic which is another language used in the same IDE.

C# is a programming language that can be implemented in various ways. Visual C# is Microsoft's implementation of C# through their .NET frameworks. Anyway, if you're like 99% of the people using C#, then you are using Microsoft's implementation.
