Study Notes

C# Programming Language

C# is an object-oriented language supporting encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, and method overriding.
Developed by Microsoft in the late 1990s, led by Anders Hejlsberg.
Enables building diverse applications: web, desktop, mobile, and cloud-based.
Supports garbage collection and automatic memory management.
Primitive types initialize to zero; reference types like objects initialize to null.
Produces portable code, executing in a secure and controlled runtime environment.
Features generics, partial types, anonymous methods, LINQ, and lambda expressions to enhance coding efficiency.

.NET Framework Structure

A Microsoft software development framework streamlining application building and deployment.
Runs primarily on Microsoft OS but has alternative versions for other operating systems.
Common Language Runtime (CLR) manages execution, debugging, and portability of .NET code.
Source code compiles to Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), then to native code via Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler.
Base Class Library provides classes and interfaces for application development, organized in namespaces.
ADO.NET offers data access, supporting SQL Server and XML as universal data formats.

Web Development with ASP.NET

ASP.NET is a unified model for developing enterprise-class web applications with minimal coding.
ASP.NET Web Forms facilitate dynamic website creation through a user-friendly event-driven model.
Web Services extend infrastructure for software connectivity.

Common Language Specification (CLS) and Common Type System (CTS)

CLS ensures interoperability among various languages in the .NET environment.
CTS specifies type declaration and management for CLR usage.

.NET Features and Security

Interoperability allows code sharing across different programming languages, including VB, C++, C#, JScript, and J#.
Language independence compiles code into Common Language Infrastructure (CLI) for cross-language data type exchange.
Supports AJAX for creating responsive web applications.
Assembly used for code sharing ensures security, controlling access to class methods.

Assemblies in .NET

Assemblies are collections of types/resources constructing a functional unit, crucial for deployment, version control, and reuse.
Assemblies can be EXE (executable) or DLL (Dynamic-Link Library), which contain functions usable by applications.
Contains metadata, including manifest and version number (Major.Minor.Build.Revision).
Two types of assembly deployment: private (single application use) and shared (multiple applications use), with differences in GAC registration and version compatibility.

C# Program Structure

A C# program includes namespace declaration, class, class methods, class attributes, main method, statements, and comments.
Every C# file must match its class name and end with a .cs extension.
The 'using' directive at the start accesses classes from namespaces (e.g., using System;).
Comments can be included using // and are ignored by the compiler.
