Features: C# holds a central position in the initial version of Microsoft .NET, developed by Microsoft as a new object-oriented programming language that combines the power of C++ with the ease of use of Visual Basic. This book is divided into three parts to help readers learn the C# language. The first part provides a comprehensive discussion of the C# language, describing the keywords, statements, and features defined in C#. It also introduces I/O, file handling, mapping, and preprocessor directives. The second part discusses the C# class library, which is also the .NET Framework class library. Due to space limitations, this book focuses on the core class library contained in the System namespace, which nearly every C# programmer will use. The third part includes examples of C# applications. The content of this book is presented in a step-by-step manner and is suitable for a wide range of readers, including those with no programming background as well as programmers with some experience in C++ or Java.
