C# Tutorial

C# is a modern, general-purpose, object-oriented programming language developed by Microsoft. It is based on object-oriented programming concepts like classes, inheritance, objects, abstraction, encapsulation, and polymorphism. A C# program consists of namespaces, classes, methods, and other elements. It produces efficient programs that can be compiled on different platforms and leverages the .NET framework.

C#

C# is a simple, modern, general-purpose, object-oriented programming language developed by


Microsoft within its .NET initiative led by Anders Hejlsberg.
C# is a modern, general-purpose, object-oriented programming language developed by Microsoft
and approved by European Computer Manufacturers Association (ECMA) and International
Standards Organization (ISO).
C# is based on object oriented programming concepts.

OOP (Object oriented programming concepts):


1.Class: Here we can take Human Being as a class. A class is a blueprint for any functional entity
which defines its properties and its functions. Like Human Being, having body parts, and
performing various actions.
2.Inheritence: Considering HumanBeing a class, which has properties like hands, legs, eyes etc,
and functions like walk, talk, eat, see etc. Male and Female are also classes, but most of the
properties and functions are included inHumanBeing, hence they can inherit everything from
class HumanBeing using the concept of Inheritance.
3.Objects: My name is Abhishek, and I am an instance/object of class Male. When we say,
Human Being, Male or Female, we just mean a kind, you, your friend, me we are the forms of
these classes. We have a physical existence while a class is just a logical definition. We are the
objects.
4.Abstraction: Abstraction means, showcasing only the required things to the outside workd
while hiding the details. Continuing our example, Human Being's can talk, walk, hear, eat, but
the details are hidden from the outside world. We can take our skin as the Abstraction factor in
our case, hiding the inside mechanism.
5.Encapsulation: Encapsulation means that we want to hide unnecessary details from the user.
For example, when we call from our mobile phone, we select the number and press call button.
But the entire process of calling is hidden from us.

6.Polymorphism: Polymorphism is a concept, which allows us to redefine the way something


works, by either changing how it is done or by changing the parts using which it is done. Both the
ways have different terms for them.

If we walk using our hands, and not legs, here we will change the parts used to perform
something. Hence this is called Overloading.

And if there is a defined way of walking, but I wish to walk differently, but using my legs, like
everyone else. Then I can walk like I want, this will be called as Overriding.
The following reasons make C# a widely used professional language:

 It is a modern, general-purpose programming language


 It is object oriented.
 It is component oriented.
 It is easy to learn.
 It is a structured language.
 It produces efficient programs.
 It can be compiled on a variety of computer platforms.
 It is a part of .Net Framework.

The .Net Framework


The .Net framework is a revolutionary platform that helps you to write the following types of
applications:

 Windows applications
 Web applications
 Web services
The .Net framework applications are multi-platform applications. The framework has been
designed in such a way that it can be used from any of the following languages: C#, C++, Visual
Basic, Jscript, COBOL, etc. All these languages can access the framework as well as communicate
with each other.

The .Net framework consists of an enormous library of codes used by the client languages such
as C#. Following are some of the components of the .Net framework:

 Common Language Runtime (CLR)


 The .Net Framework Class Library
 Common Language Specification
 Common Type System
 Metadata and Assemblies
 Windows Forms
 ASP.Net and ASP.Net AJAX
 ADO.Net
 Windows Workflow Foundation (WF)
 Windows Presentation Foundation
 Windows Communication Foundation (WCF)
 LINQ
A C# program consists of the following parts:

 Namespace declaration
 A class
 Class methods
 Class attributes
 A Main method
 Statements and Expressions
 Comments

Here is a small program of C#:


using System;
namespace HelloWorldApplication
{
class HelloWorld
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
/* my first program in C# */
Console.WriteLine("Hello World");
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
}

Let us look at the various parts of the given program:

 The first line of the program using System; - the using keyword is used to include
the System namespace in the program. A program generally has
multiple using statements.

 The next line has the namespace declaration. A namespace is a collection of classes.
The “HelloWorldApplication” namespace contains the class HelloWorld.

 The next line has a class declaration, the class “HelloWorld” contains the data and
method definitions that your program uses. Classes generally contain multiple methods.
Methods define the behavior of the class. However, the HelloWorld class has only one
method Main.

 The next line defines the Main method, which is the entry point for all C# programs.
The Main method states what the class does when executed.

 The next line /*...*/ is ignored by the compiler and it is put to addcomments in the
program.

 The Main method specifies its behavior with the statement Console.WriteLine("Hello
World");

“WriteLine” is a method of the Console class defined in the System namespace. This
statement causes the message "Hello, World!" to be displayed on the screen.

It is worth to note the following points:

 C# is case sensitive.

 All statements and expression must end with a semicolon (;).

 The program execution starts at the Main method.
