Learning c# from c++

[Need4Sleep]

how long could this take me? i currently have a very good knowledge base for c++, and im interested in learning c# to help some friends develop an iphone app. How similar are these languages and how long could that take me to develop a base understanding of c#/xcode development?

i am not an c sharp developer but i have tried some c sharp code and based on what i have seen people with good understand of java/c++ will pick up c sharp fast.

As far as i know iphones are developed using Objective-C (and not the evil Microsoft C#).

I'm not a huge fan of Microsoft (disliking Apple more these days) but c# is a beautiful language.
