I've searched the net for this, but I couldn't really find an answer. I've found this though:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh875057.aspx
It says that C++ is a part of the .NET framework, and the headline writes "C/C++", but there wasn't much about C, so I wasn't able to understand if it is or not.
C and C++ are both low level, you can always write code in C and C++ that would work with other languages. The main language for the .NET I think is C#. I don't think it's necessary for you to write C++ code for a .NET project. And if you had to, then you wouldn't need to ask this, because you would know that your question doesn't even make sense. Of course, since you don't know your question is ok.
So in a sense, c and c++ are part of everything, and you can always write code in low level languages with interfaces for higher level ones like c# with .net support. But that is quite specialized and is rarely needed.
.NET Framework is an object oriented programming framework meant to be used with languages that it provides bindings for. Since C is not an object oriented language it wouldn't make sense to use it with the framework. Microsoft does provide its own version of C++ (that is incompatible with standard C++) to be used with the .NET Framework.

Today I was listening to a number of talks about dark sides of C++. One them was held by a man who was participating in the creation of the new C++ standard (Nikolai Jossutis). I'm fascinated by the many things in language, which make it easier to misuse. And for me personally it seems that C++ is actually fine if there wasn't backward comparability, which didn't allow to fix "bugs in the standard".
Hypotethically let's say I want an language dialect of C++ that is not backward compatible with the standard C++. It removes components considered dangerous, it doesn't compile something which is almost always results in UB.
I don't want to give any concrete examples, but I'm fine with everyhing which will make code safer. I already treat warnings as errors in the strictiest provided by the compiler way and use static analysis, along with ASan, etc..
UPD: I'm speaking about something very similar to C++ and it's characteristics. If I think about Java, it isn't suitable for me, because of VM. I'm asking about dialect of C++, not very different language, like Java or Rust. Rust is fine, because it compiles to native code, but I'm asking about dialect, not new language.
you could try D https://dlang.org/...
Or have a look at the Misra C++ rules https://www.perforce.com/resources/qac/misra-c-cpp, there are also code checkers available

I'm very new to software development and really loving it.
Currently, my work involves C++ programming in an OOP implementation (basically, the guys who started the framework for the software used OOP approach in everything). I jumped in and inherited what's already there.
Hobby-wise, I would like to develop a framework also for an embedded application.
Basically programming Embedded C on a microcontroller.
Is it wise to do the framework in OOP approach also?
I was thinking it is more organized.
Thanks in advance for the answers!
I would say that it depends on your microcontroller specifications (and how many resources you have).
In my experience (as Olaf says it's a subjective opinion):
OOP approach is usually clearer, avoids some mistakes for common variables and allows other person to use the framework without a painful learning process.
However... it usually require more resources as you need to encapsulate everything and that leads into more functions.
So... it depends...
It depends on your Embedded applicaton.
In some scenarios some c++ features costlier.
for e.g. run time polymorphism. .
Hope this link helps.!

Conceptually, my home language is Python. I did some C during the last semester and can understand the way it works, but I do not like raw pointers, raw mallocs and the lack of classes. I do like the speed and compiling though. C++ looks really good to me.
However, when I try to write some small programs in it and look specific tasks up, I often find C code again. I was going to send a simple GET request, and somebody suggested using cURL, which is a C library. Using that would break me out of my C++ abstraction again.
Is it possible to program in C++ without having to revert to C for most tasks? To me, C++ looks like a coherent language, but not like a stand-alone ecosystem.
People often write libraries in C, in preference to C++, because of its greater interoperability. If you write a C++ library, you can only directly use it from C++. If you write a C library, you can use it from C++, C, Fortran, Python, C#, etc.
One of the major design considerations for C++ was that it interoperate with C, precisely because of the existence of this large body of libraries. The designers of C++, in other words, wanted you to be able to use C libraries. Act accordingly.

I know there are a lot of "Objective-C for the C++ programmer" information out there and it could be used the other way around. I'm just curious if there is anyone who has knowledge about a "native" "C++ for the Objective-C programmer" tutorial/book?
I'm actually looking to work in C++ in parts of a upcoming iOS project. Basically I need to do a lot of wrappers around C++ code.
(I do know that they can co-exist and that Obj-C is a subset of C, just like C++, however different reasons I would like to gain more knowledge into C++. Coming from a Obj-C background I just ask for some guidance on the matter.)
I don't know of a book for learning C++ for the Objective-C programmer. The fact that the Objective-C foundation libraries offer a lot out of the box (not to mention all the other frameworks which are part of the iOS and Mac SDKs, which is the main use-area for Objective-C) which is not covered by the C++ standard libraries might be a reason. The new C++11 standard and the boost C++ libraries go some way to bridging the gap.
There are quite a few articles which describe the main difference including this one.
The understanding of OOP you have aquired in Objective C as well as it's C subset (in your question you say "Obj-C is a subset of C", it's the opposite), will give you a big head start in learning C++, but it seems you have no alternative than to use C++ books and learn directly from them.
EDIT:
Adding the link to the SO post on good C++ books, suggested by #Bart in the comments.
Take a look at Pierre Chatelier's comparison of C++ and Objective-C.
This document is designed to act as a bridge between C++ and
Objective-C.

I am a .net c# programmer but I want to learn .NET C++ also. I am a beginner for c++. Is there any site, book, or Video Tutorials from beginner to expert?
There's no such thing as ".Net c++".
Maybe you mean C++/CLI, which is Microsoft's language specification intended to supersede Managed Extensions for C++ (See Wikipedia). Managed extensions to C++ are its inferior and now defunct ancestor [thanks #dp for your comment].
Bear in mind when you choose your learning material that C++/CLI is not equal to the (standard) C++ programming language; so if you want to learn the former, you should edit the question title and tags.
(Note: This is not to be nitpicky, but to help. I think getting the right idea for each name, and the right name for each concept, is an important factor for consistent learning. And of course it's especially important if you search for information on the web.)
I'd suggest starting with Bruce Eckel's Thinking in C++ for a start.
It's already around for some time (latest version 2003) but it provides a good path from beginner to the more advanced techniques and interiors of C++. It has also some OO foundations in case you like to want to know more about that basics.
(Master download site for the book)
cprogramming.com
cplusplus.com
For a beginner I think a good starting place is C++ Primer. From there I'd recommend Scott Meyers' Effective C++ books.
Certainly this has been asked before, I just can't find the duplicate.

is great for c++, you'll know the .net from your c#
The biggest tip: in C# you'd do everything with classes, and in C++, you do anything to do with the Win32 API with function calls.
google.com and msdn.microsoft.com are your friends.
Never give up. C++ is much more time-consuming to write, and it's easier to make mistakes.
As you are writing your programs, look for small examples that do small pieces of what you want to achieve, and study them.
