The document provides an overview of key concepts in the C# programming language including variables and data types, arrays, conditional logic, loops, methods, parameters, and delegates. It discusses basic syntax, operators, and how to perform common tasks like type conversions and working with dates and strings. The goal is to give readers enough information to get started with C# as well as refer back to for language details while working through ASP.NET examples.

12. Commenting// A single-line C# comment./* A multiple-lineC# comment. */Statement Termination

13. Blocks{// Code statements go here.}Declaration, Assignment &InitializersinterrorCode;string myName;

14. Variables and Data Types

15. Variables and Data Types

16. Escaped Characters• \" (double quote)• \n (new line)• \t (horizontal tab)• \\ (backward slash)// A C# variable holding the// c:\MyApp\MyFiles path.path = "c:\\MyApp\\MyFiles";Alternatively, you can turn off C# escaping by preceding a string with an @ symbol, as shown here:path = @"c:\MyApp\MyFiles";

17. ArraysArrays allow you to store a series of values that have the same data type.// Create an array with four strings (from index 0 to index 3).// You need to initialize the array with the new keyword in order to use it.string[] stringArray = new string[4];// Create a 2x4 grid array (with a total of eight integers).int[,] intArray = new int[2, 4];// Create an array with four strings, one for each number from 1 to 4.string[] stringArray = {"1", "2", "3", "4"};// Create a 4x2 array (a grid with four rows and two columns).int[,] intArray = {{1, 2}, {3, 4}, {5, 6}, {7, 8}};

18. ArrayListArrayListdynamicList = new ArrayList();// Add several strings to the list.The ArrayList is not strongly typed, so you can add any data typedynamicList.Add("one");dynamicList.Add(2);dynamicList.Add(true);// Retrieve the first string. Notice that the object must be converted to a// string, because there's no way for .NET to be certain what it is.string item = Convert.ToString(dynamicList[0]);

19. EnumerationAn enumeration is a group of related constants, each of which is given a descriptive name. Each value in an enumeration corresponds to a preset integer.enumUserType{Admin,Guest,Invalid}

20. Operators & Math functions+, -, *, / ,% are basic operatorsTo use the math operations, you invoke the methods of the System.Math class. myValue = Math.Round(42.889, 2); // myValue = 42.89myValue = Math.Abs(-10); // myValue = 10.0myValue = Math.Log(24.212); // myValue = 3.18.. (and so on)myValue = Math.PI; // myValue = 3.14.. (and so on)

21. Type ConversionsConverting information from one data type to anotherConversions are of two types: widening and narrowing. Widening conversions always succeed. For example, you can always convert a 32-bit integer into a 64-bit integer.intmySmallValue;long myLargeValue;mySmallValue= Int32.MaxValue;myLargeValue = mySmallValue;Or mySmallValue = (int)myLargeValue;intmyInt=1000;short count;count=(short)myInt;

22. Type ConversionsConverting information from one data type to anotherString myString;intmyInteger=100;myString=myInteger.ToString();String countString=“10”;int count=Convert.ToInt32(countString);orint count=Int32.Parse(countString);

23. String FunctionsLength() : myString.Length()ToUpper(), ToLower() myString.ToUpper() Trim() myString.Trim()Substring() myString.SubString(0,2)StartsWith(), EndsWith() myString.StartsWith(“pre”)PadLeft(), PadRight() myString.PadLeft(5,”*”)Insert() myString.Insert(1,”pre)Remove() myString.Remove(0,2)Split() myString.Split(“,”)Join() myString1.Join(myString2)Replace() myString.Replace(“a”,”b”)
