What language is Visual Studio 2010/2012 written in?

Visual Studio has historically been C++, but is there any C# or VB.NET code in versions 2010 and 2012?

Does it require the CLR to function?

Thanks

The Programming Languages Beacon website contains a nice table of a whole bunch of different products and the languages they are written in. According to this site, Visual Studio is, indeed, written in C# and C++.

Looks like Output window is written in C/C++. When I tried:

string str="The quick brown fox \0 jumps over the lazy dog.";
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(str);

The output window for "Debug" shows: "The quick brown fox".
