Synopsis

C# is Microsoft's new programming language for its new platform, the .NET Framework. The .NET Framework consists of a runtime environment for managing the execution of code, and a whole host of class libraries for performing almost any programming task you can think of. Although .NET code can be written in many languages, C# is the only language designed specifically for the .NET Framework, and as such is set to become the language of choice for writing .NET applications for years to come. This book will be an indispensable guide as you learn to write C# programs, gradually explaining the key concepts of C# and .NET as your skills develop. After a thorough explanation of the basics of the C# language, we take an in-depth look at object-oriented programming in C#, before moving on to see how we write Windows applications in C#, work with databases and handle files. We also show how you can create dynamic web pages in C#.

Note that the book requires you to have access to either Visual Studio .NET or Visual C# .NET Standard Edition.

What does this book cover?:

* The C# language
* .NET Programming with C#
* Object-oriented programming
* Writing Windows applications
* Creating user controls, using dialogs, and printing
* Accessing databases
* Handling Files
* Writing web pages in C#

About this title

From the Publisher:

Beginning C# provides a painless introduction to C# for beginners or relatively inexperienced programmers, who want to move to the .NET Framework from languages that don't support modern object-oriented programming techniques, and have access to Visual Studio .NET or Visual C# .NET Standard Edition.
