6. C#’s Mascot (Retired in 2004)
Introduction to C#
Started in 1999

Led by Anders Hejlsberg
Direct competitor with Java
Readable
Current version: C# 4.0
C# 5.0 expected
OOP

C#’s Mascot (Retired in 2004)

7. What Is OOP? Object oriented programming Defined by objects Classes
State (Fields)
Behavior (Methods)
Classes

8. Example Object: Jeep SUV Methods: Speed Up / Apply Brakes Change Gear
Change Transmission (4x2 / 4x4)
Fields:
Current Speed
Current Gear
Current Transmission

9. Example (cont.) Object Definition: How to use object: class SUV {
private:
int currentSpeed;
int currentGear;
int currentTransmission;
public:
void SpeedUp(int);
void ApplyBrakes(int);
void Change Transmission(int);
void PrintStates(void); }
How to use object:
// Define objects
SUV Jeep = new SUV();
// Methods on object
Jeep.SpeedUp(10);
Jeep.ChangeGear(2);
Jeep.ChangeTransmission(4);
Jeep.PrintStates();
Change this, ask Shreyas for help.

10. Benefits of C# Managing memory in C/C++ Garbage Collection in C#
Responsibility of the programmer
Need to allocate resources for objects
Resources must be released when finished
Garbage Collection in C#
Handled by common language runtime (CLR)
Provided by .Net Framework
Runs code and provides services
Periodically checks memory heap
Releases resources held by unreferenced objects

11. Benefits of C# (cont.) .Net Framework
Consistent programming model
Supports building and running the next generation of applications and XML web services
Extremely easy to write C# in visual studio (VS)
Visual designers to create applications with GUI’s

12. .Net Framework Six Major Objectives
1) Consistent object-oriented programming environment
Code-execution environment that…
2) Minimizes software deployment
3) Promotes safe execution of code
4) Eliminates the performance problems of scripted environments
5) Developer experience consistent across widely varying types of applications
6) Build all communication on industry standards

13. Visual Designers
Windows Forms Designer

14. Visual Designers (cont.)
Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) Designer
Introduced with Visual Studio 2008
Supports Drag and Drop
Provides flexibility by using XAML
An XML based markup language to describe the UI
C# code is separated from the XAML markup

15. Visual Designers (cont.)
Class designer
Author and edit the classes using UML modeling

16. Visual Designers (cont.)
Data designer
Graphically edit database schemas
Design queries from the graphical view
Web designer/development
ASP.NET applications

17. .NET Framework
A framework with which applications can be made for a variety of Microsoft platforms
Very easy to use, and code can be shared between platforms
Example: A game built for Windows can be very easily ported to XBox360

18. Windows Phone 7
Windows Phone 7 apps can be made with Visual Studio and C#

19. Web Applications
ASP.NET, Microsoft’s web application framework, is also integrated with C# and VS

20. Netduino Applications
Netduino Applications can be made with C#, VS, and the .NET Micro framework

21. Video
App Demo

22. Conclusion C# is a very popular and rapidly growing language
Backed by a large company, it will continue to evolve alongside the technologies of the future
It is very easy to learn, very fast to develop in, and very well integrated with a variety of platforms through .NET and VS
Windows, Windows Phone, Web, Xbox, Netduino, etc.
