It's entirely depdent on the project and the team. Use C++ when you need something low level. Use C# when you need a very high level language and want to create an object oriented mess. Honestly, people will shit on C# all day long, but as far as utility goes, it is a fine language. People get caught up in the, well deserved, MS hate and ignore that it is a powerful performant language. Would people actually choose Java over C#? Dotnet compiles to Linux without having to install the Dotnet SDK on the Linux machine. It's not Windows only anymore.

.NET is genuinely awesome, I'd wish more people would use it
