All it'd take is a single drill hole and re-wiring the sensor, but it near the top of the window and no one's even gonna notice it's there. Like mneary said if you have eaves it's even more perfect you can recess it up, completely out of site.
Where C# is just different from C++. value types and reference types exist (struct is value-type, class is reference-type) value types live on the stack, reference types on the heap; references can point to null (must not be valid) code is packaged in assemblies in C#; no automatic conversion from int to bool in C#; main-function is called Main in C#
Java is different. Java provides much more rigorous semantics and leaves less up to the implementer. Unlike C and C++, Java has defined sizes and endianism for the atomic types, as well as defined floating-point behavior. Additionally, Java defines more behavior than C and C++.
