Features: C# is a new object-oriented programming language based on Microsoft's next-generation operating platform, .NET. It maintains the syntax of C++ while adding many efficient code and object-oriented features, as well as improved reliability and security. This book provides numerous examples to explain the use of the C# language in the .NET environment. The book is divided into three parts: The introductory section introduces the .NET platform and the basic aspects of the C# language, and provides a C# program "HelloWorld." The intermediate section covers C# data types, variables, type conversions, expressions, and statements, with appropriate inclusion of program source code. The advanced section introduces C# classes, structures, arrays, interfaces, components, conditional compilation, XML documentation, cross-platform calls, interaction with COM, input/output, and more through numerous examples. It concludes with a comprehensive example—a Gomoku program—to help readers better understand the powerful capabilities of C#. The appendix provides introductions to the inner workings of C#, comparisons between C# and Java, differences between C# and VB, and .NET namespace members.
