C# - Overview

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# was developed by Anders Hejlsberg and his team during the development of .Net Framework. More Info: C Sharp (programming language)
C# is designed for Common Language Infrastructure (CLI), which consists of the executable code and runtime environment that allows use of various high-level languages on different computer platforms and architectures. More - L298
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.

Strong Programming Features of C#

Although C# constructs closely follow traditional high-level languages, C and C++ and being an object-oriented programming language. It has strong resemblance with Java, it has numerous strong programming features that make it endearing to a number of programmers worldwide.
Following is the list of few important features of C#:
  • Boolean Conditions
  • Automatic Garbage Collection
  • Standard Library
  • Assembly Versioning
  • Properties and Events
  • Delegates and Events Management
  • Easy-to-use Generics
  • Indexers
  • Conditional Compilation
  • Simple Multithreading
  • LINQ and Lambda Expressions
  • Integration with Windows

C# - Variables

A variable is nothing but a name given to a storage area that our programs can manipulate. Each variable in C# has a specific type, which determines the size and layout of the variable's memory the range of values that can be stored within that memory and the set of operations that can be applied to the variable. The basic value types provided in C# can be categorized as: Type Example Integral types sbyte, byte, short, ushort, int, uint, long, ulong, and char Floating point types float and double Decimal types decimal Boolean types true or false values, as assigned Nullable types Nullable data types C# also allows defining other value types of variable such as  enum  and reference types of variables such as  class , which we will cover in subsequent chapters. Defining Variables Syntax for variable definition in C# is: <data_type> <variable_list> ; Here, data_type must be a valid C# data type including char, int, float, double, or any user-defined da

C# - Environment

In this chapter, we will discuss the tools required for creating C# programming. We have already mentioned that C# is part of .Net framework and is used for writing .Net applications. Therefore, before discussing the available tools for running a C# program, let us understand how C# relates to the .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:  More Info:  C Sharp (programming l
