The preprocessor directives give instruction to the compiler to preprocess the information before actual compilation starts. All preprocessor directives begin with #, and only white-space characters may appear before a preprocessor directive on a line. Preprocessor directives are not statements, so they do not end with a semicolon (;). C# compiler does not have a …

C# – Regular Expressions
A regular expression is a pattern that could be matched against an input text. The .Net framework provides a regular expression engine that allows such matching. A pattern consists of one or more character literals, operators, or constructs. Constructs for Defining Regular Expressions There are various categories of characters, operators, and constructs that lets you …
C# – Namespaces
A namespace is designed for providing a way to keep one set of names separate from another. The class names declared in one namespace does not conflict with the same class names declared in another. Defining a Namespace A namespace definition begins with the keyword namespace followed by the namespace name as follows: namespace namespace_name …
C# – Generics
Generics allow you to delay the specification of the data type of programming elements in a class or a method, until it is actually used in the program. In other words, generics allow you to write a class or method that can work with any data type. You write the specifications for the class or …
C# – Unsafe Codes
C# allows using pointer variables in a function of code block when it is marked by the unsafe modifier. The unsafe code or the unmanaged code is a code block that uses a pointer variable. Note: To execute the programs mentioned in this chapter atcodingground, please set compilation option in Project >> Compile Options >> …
C# – Anonymous Methods
We discussed that delegates are used to reference any methods that has the same signature as that of the delegate. In other words, you can call a method that can be referenced by a delegate using that delegate object. Anonymous methods provide a technique to pass a code block as a delegate parameter. Anonymous methods …
C# – Operator Overloading
You can redefine or overload most of the built-in operators available in C#. Thus a programmer can use operators with user-defined types as well. Overloaded operators are functions with special names the keyword operator followed by the symbol for the operator being defined. similar to any other function, an overloaded operator has a return type …
C# – File I/O
A file is a collection of data stored in a disk with a specific name and a directory path. When a file is opened for reading or writing, it becomes a stream. The stream is basically the sequence of bytes passing through the communication path. There are two main streams: the input stream and theoutput …
C# – Inheritance
One of the most important concepts in object-oriented programming is inheritance. Inheritance allows us to define a class in terms of another class, which makes it easier to create and maintain an application. This also provides an opportunity to reuse the code functionality and speeds up implementation time. When creating a class, instead of writing …
C# – Exception Handling
An exception is a problem that arises during the execution of a program. A C# exception is a response to an exceptional circumstance that arises while a program is running, such as an attempt to divide by zero. Exceptions provide a way to transfer control from one part of a program to another. C# exception …
