The Quick & Dirty .NET Guide to C#/VB OOP

Conclusion

In conclusion, beyond all we've touched upon, OOP can be quite extensive in its depth and conceptual methodologies. There is far more that can be learned, including everything from sealed and non-inheritable classes to delegates and events and so forth, to say the least. The intricacy of OOP unquestionably extends far beyond what was described here.

Still, the foundation we've set forth I hope is an excellent start and overview of OOP for you. There are hundreds of great resources online that would allow you a deeper look into the illimitable complexities and structures of OOP. Yet, learning all these concepts is best accomplished like most things in development, having something to make use of them in and performing real-world work.

In close, my objective here was to introduce a direct and to the point outline of OOP that should now have given you a firm place to stand on from which you now could plan your next move on the road to object-oriented application development. </>

Until next time, Happy .NETing!

    hello,


    I am very impressed by your tutorial as it finally allowed me to grasp the syntax behind OOP programming with .net.
    Only what I did not understand is how and where do I complile the .cs to a dll? I cannot do it on the server. Do I do it on my local computer and then upload?

    Honestly I believe that the basic idea of the OOP was really great, but to be able to use it one really has to have the head as a water melon. There is too much theory, too many therms and the class theory really feels like puting each part of the program into a separate box and then figuring out how to drill a way between them. I started to learn C++ OOP at least 20 time and after a couple of weeks I did not even had an idea what it is about (note: I am not a proffesional programmer)...

    I believe that: "The use of a programming language should be as simple as a pie and the algorithm should be the part where people spend the most of their time..."

    When I do C# programming I do all public and it works great for me. Simply keep it simple!!!

    Is there any web page or book where I could find how to do Non-OOP C# programming?

    Sincerely,

    Gabor Gorcsos

    Though from personal experience I'd say 99.99% of the time, you'd want private member variables and public properties...

    Hi Ehx,


    That's true, and it's funny that in all my other articles I always write all private variables with public properties. i.e. - Building a Full-Featured Custom DataGrid Control. It's just one of those overlooked things. Oh well.

    After reading your article, http://www.developerfusion.com/show/4341/6/
    I got realy confused!!


    from what I know from the book below, I declare private property, then declare public (get , set )
    What you presented in your article is you declared public property,then  made the (get,set) private)


    I have put this simple comparison code , so please advice your point, What is the logic behind reversing the modifier(public to private and vis versa).
    thanks
    Ehx
     
        // what is in the book (Begining Asp.Net Database using C# p 321)
           private string Country;
           public string Country
           {
               get{return _Country;}
               set{
    Country= value;}
           }


                  // what is in web article ( in your article)
           public string Name;
           private string _Name
           {
               get{return Name;}
               set{Name= value;}
           }
