What is C#?
C# is intended to be a simple, modern, general-purpose, object-oriented programming
language. Its development team is led by Anders Hejlsberg. The most recent version is C#
4.0, which was released on April 12, 2010. C# (pronounced "see sharp") is a multiparadigm programming language encompassing imperative, declarative, functional, generic,
object-oriented (class-based), and component-oriented programming disciplines. It was
developed by Microsoft within the .NET initiative and later approved as a standard by Ecma
(ECMA-334) and ISO (ISO/IEC 23270). C# is one of the programming languages designed
for the Common Language Infrastructure.
Features of C#
Some notable distinguishing features of C# are:
There are no global variables or functions. All methods and members must be
declared within classes. Static members of public classes can substitute for global
variables and functions.
Managed memory cannot be explicitly freed instead, it is automatically garbage
collected.
Garbage collection addresses the problem of memory leaks by freeing the

programmer of responsibility for releasing memory which is no longer needed.
In addition to the try...catch construct to handle exceptions, C# has a try...finally

construct to guarantee execution of the code in the finally block.
Multiple inheritance is not supported by C#, although a class can implement any
number of interfaces.
C# and .Net Framework

Microsoft announced C# in July 2000, its unveiling was part of a much larger event the
announcement of the .NET Framework. The .NET Framework is, in essence, a new
development framework that provides a fresh application programming interface (API) to
the services and APIs of classic Windows operating systems (especially the Windows 2000
family), while bringing together a number of disparate technologies that emerged from
Microsoft during the late 1990s. Among the latter are COM+ component services, the ASP
web development framework, a commitment to XML and object-oriented design, support for
new web services protocols such as SOAP, WSDL, and UDDI, and a focus on the Internet
Information Services.
What is CLR?
CLR (Common Language Runtime) is the most important component of .Net Framework. It
manages and executes code written in .Net Languages, CLR activates objects and perform
security checks. The CLR allows programmers to ignore many details of the specific CPU
that will execute the program. It also provides other important services, including the
following:
Memory management
Thread management
Exception handling
Garbage collection
Security Central to the .NET Framework is its runtime execution environment,

known as the Common Language
Runtime (CLR) or the .NET runtime. Code running under the control of the CLR is often
termed as managed code.
What is CTS?
In .NET Framework, the Common Type System (CTS) is a standard that specifies how Type
definitions and specific values of Types are represented in computer memory. It is intended
to allow programs written
in different programming languages to easily share information. Functions of the Common
Type System:
CTS establishes a framework that helps enable cross-language integration, type

safety, and high performance code execution.
CTS provides an object-oriented model that supports the complete implementation of
many programming languages.
CTS also defines rules that languages must follow, which helps ensure that objects
written in different languages can interact with each other.
Languages supported by .NET can implement all or some common data types.
Type categories the common type system supports two general categories of types:
Value types:
Value types directly contain their data, and instances of value types are
either allocated on the stack or allocated inline in a structure. Value types can be built-in
(implemented by the runtime), user-defined, or enumerations.
Reference types:
Reference types store a reference to the value's memory address,

and are allocated on the heap. Reference types can be self-describing types, pointer types,
or interface types. The type of a reference type can be determined from values of self-
describing types. Self-describing types are further split into arrays and class types. The class
types are user-defined classes, boxed value types, and delegates.
What is CLS?
The Common Language Specification (CLS) is a part of the standardized specification of
the .NET Framework originally defined by Microsoft, and later standardized by the European
Computer Manufacturers Association (ECMA). A key feature of .NET Framework is that
applications written in different languages can interoperate with one another, taking
advantage of inheritance, polymorphism, exceptions and other features.
CLS provides,
set of specification to be adhered by new language writer/compiler writer for .Net
Framework to ensure interoperability. because .net supports many languages.For example
Asp.Net application written in C#.Net language. Now we can refer any other DLL which has
been written in any other language supported by .Net Frame Work.
Net Frameworks Architecture
.Net is not an Operating System. It is a IDE. It provides some functionality for the
programmers to build their solution in the most constructive and intellegent way ever. Just
to tell you the truth, most of the codes in .Net environment resembles with the JAVA coding
as if some people coming from Java would find it as to their native language.
.NET is a Framework that loads into your operating system, which you need not to load in
the later versions of windows like Windows 2003 server or Just a new release of Windows
Vista. As it is going to be added as a component in the next generation of windows.
Now, What is the .Net all about? Well, Its a framework that supports Common Language
Runtime (CLR). As the name suggests, Common Language Runtime will be something that
will run a native code for all the programming languages provided within the Architecture.
Another feature of .net is language independence, to tell you about language Independence,
.Net is not at all efficient in that. Just Microsoft built their own version of languages like C+
+, J# (for Java), C#, VB etc that can communicate between each other. After all J#, even if
they resembles with JAVA is not purely Java.. Thus, the word may look to you somewhat
fake. Now what is the most prospective part of .NET? Now, with the growing Internet, ASP.
NET may be the most important part of .NET technology. Well, ASP. NET has a new
technology where the controls reside server side. You don't bother to use traditional client
side controls. In .NET technology as there is a provision of runtime building of machine
codes, a web server can directly compile and transmit codes to the browser during runtime.
This is , I think the most approved and widely accepted part of .NET.
NEW things of .NET? well, during the last two years , Microsoft is constantly changing the
.NET technology, that may not be good for a settled programmer. Well, first of all, in .NET
2003 Microsoft changed some features and also adds some new things. Well, new things are
good, but changing the existing in such a quick succession is not at all good from
programmers point of view. Again, in 2005, Microsoft publishes the new release of VISUAL
STUDIO.NET 8 . This is a completely new environment. It have new releases of controls, the
IDE is also different. That's not what we all wanted as a programmer. What do you say?
Now, Microsoft is also increasing its scope.. One of the most important feature that is just
now introduced is AJAX. Well, the name is what can be said as Asynchronous Java Script
with XML.
.Net Frameworks Architecture
C# DataTypes
Data Types means what type of data a variable can hold . C# is a strongly typed language,
therefore every variable and object must have a declared type. The C# type system
contains three Type categories.
Value Types
Reference Types
Pointer Types
In C# it is possible to convert a value of one type into a value of another type . The
operation of Converting a Value Type to a Reference Type is called Boxing and the reverse
operation is called Unboxing .
Ex.
int month;
int : is the data type
month: is the variable name
int
int can store signed 32 bit integer values in the range of -2,147,483,648 to +2,147,483,647
C# Runtime type : System.Int32
C# declaration : int month;

C# Initialization : month = 10;
C# default initialization value : 0
decimal
Decimal is of a 128-bit data type.The approximate range and precision for the decimal type
are -1.0 X 10-28 to 7.9 X 1028
C# Runtime type : System.Decimal
C# declaration : decimal val;
C# Initialization : val = 0.12;
C# default initialization value : 0.0M
string
Represents a string of Unicode characters. string variables are stored any number of
alphabetic,numerical, and special characters .
C# Runtime type : System.String
C# declaration : string str;
C# Initialization : str = ".Net Environment";
bool
Bool is used to declare variables to store the Boolean values, true and false. In C# , there is
no conversion between the bool type and other types.
C# Runtime type : System.Boolean
C# declaration : bool flag;
C# Initialization : flag = true;
C# default initialization value : false
The following list shows the list of data types available in C# and their corresponding
class/struct in .NET class library.
C# Data type

ulong
System.UInt64
long
System.Int64
bool

string

object
System.Object
Boxing: Converting value types to reference types is also known as boxing. As can be
seen in the example below, it is not necessary to tell the
compiler an Int32 is boxed to an object, because it takes care of this itself.
e.g.-
Int32 a = 10;
object count = a ; // Implicit boxing
Console.WriteLine("The Object count = {0}",count); // prints out 10
//However, an Int32 can always be explicitly boxed like this:
Int32 a = 10;
object count = (object) a; // Explicit boxing
Console.WriteLine("The object count = {0}",count); // prints out 10
Unboxing: The following example intends to show how to unbox a reference type back to a
value type. First an Int32 is boxed to an object, and then it is
unboxed again. Note that unboxing requires explicit cast.
Ex.
Int32 a = 5;
object count = a; // Implicit
Boxing a = (int)count; // Explicit Unboxing
Type Conversions Conversion is based on type compatibility and data compatibility.
Implicit Conversion: Implicit Conversion

make conversion for us without asking.
In implicit conversion the compiler will
char -> int -> float is an example of data compatibility.
using System;
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
int x =10000;
int y =20000;
long total;
// In this the int values are implicitly converted to long data type;
//you need not to tell compiler to do the conversion, it automatically
does.
total = x + y;
Console.WriteLine("Total is : " + total);
Console.ReadLine();
Explicit Conversion: In explicit conversion we specifically ask the compiler to

convert the value into another data type. CLR checks for data compatibility at
runtime.
using System;
class Program
{
{
int x = 65;
char value;
value = (char)x;
// In this the int values are explicitly converted to char data
type;
//you have to tell compiler to do the conversion, it uses casting.
Console.WriteLine("Value is: " + value);
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
Microsoft .NET provides three ways of type conversion:
Parsing
Parsing is used to convert string type data to primitive value type. For this we use
parse methods with value types.
using System;
class Program
{
{
//using parsing
int number;
float weight;
Console.Write("Enter any number : ");
number = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
Console.Write("Enter your weight : ");
weight = float.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
Console.WriteLine("You have entered : " +
number);
Console.WriteLine("You weight is : " + weight);
}
}
Console.ReadLine();
Convert Class
Convert class contains different static methods like ToInt32(), ToInt16(), ToString(),
ToDateTime() etc used in type conversion.
using System;
class Program
{
{
// example of using convert class
string num = "23";
int number = Convert.ToInt32(num);
int age = 24;
string vote = Convert.ToString(age);
Console.WriteLine("Your number is : " + number);
Console.WriteLine("Your voting age is : " + age);
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
Explicit Cast Operator ()

It can used with any type having type compatibility and data type compatibility.
using System;
class Program
{
{
int num1, num2;
float avg;
num1 = 10;
num2 = 21;
avg = (float)(num1 + num2) / 2;
Console.WriteLine("average is : " + avg);
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
Similarity and difference with C/C++
C# is directly related to C and C++, C++ is a superset of C. C and C++ shares

several syntax, library and functionality. In addition structures, unions, arrays,
strings and pointers are most important and similar functionality for both languages.
C# inherits most of its operators, keywords, and statements directly from C++.
Enums are clearly a meaningful concept in C++.
Finally I can clearly say that C# is the first component-oriented language in the C/C+
+ family.
C# constructors are verisimilar with C++ constructors. Like C++, methods are nonvirtual by default, but can be marked as virtual.
There is also some difference between C# and C++, C# supports multiple inheritance of
interfaces, but not of classes. Another difference is destructors, their syntax is same with
C++ but actually they are very different.
Difference between C# and VB

1. C# allows 'unsafe' code, or pointer manipulation. VB allows methods with optional
parameters.
2. C# allows assignments embedded in expressions (e.g., if ((x = y.Value) == 2)).VB
allows types within interfaces.
3. C# has anonymous methods.VB has the very flexible Select construct (much more
flexible than the C# switch).
4. C# has the useful conditional ternary operator (?:). The VB If function is not a good
substitute since the arguments must all be evaluated. VB has the When filter for
catch block headers (no equivalent exists in C#).
Difference between C# and Java

Features of C# not present in Java
1. C# provides integration with COM.

2. C# has "Explicit Member Implementation" which allows a class to specifically
implement methods of an interface, separate from its own class methods.
3. C# has the ability to alias namespaces.

4. C# has support for output parameters, aiding in the return of multiple values, a
feature shared by C++ and SQL.
5. C# implements properties as part of the language syntax.

6. C# allows switch statements to operate on strings.
7. Namespace in C#
8. Namespaces group related classes and types, and they define categories in which we
can include any new class that provides related functionality.
namespace MyCompany.r4r
{
class MyClass
{
// some code here
}
}
namespace MyCompany.r4r
{
class MyClass1
{
// some code here
}
}
9. Classes and Object in C#

10. Defining Classes: To define a new type or class, first declare it, and then define its
11.
methods and fields. Declare a class using the class keyword. The complete syntax
is as follows: [attributes] [access-modifiers] class identifier [:base-class]
{
class-body
}
For Example.
public class Test

{
public static int Main( )
{
Console.Writeline("This is Class");
}
12. Defining Object: A distinction is drawn between value types and reference types.
The primitive C# types (int, char, etc.) are value types, and are created on
the stack. Objects, however, are reference types, and are created on the heap, using
the keyword new, as in the following:
Test t = new Test();
13. t does not actually contain the value for the test class object; it contains the address
of that (unnamed) object that is created on the heap. t itself is just a reference to
that object.
14. How to create a program in C#?

15. Step 1: Start notepad from Start -> Program Files -> Accessories -> Notepad so
that you can write the HelloWorld program. The program you write in C# is also
called as source code.
16. Step 2: Write the HelloWorld program, you can either type the program shown below
into notepad or just copy-paste it from here-
public class Helloworld

{
public static void Main()
{
System.Console.WriteLine("you are welcome in world of
C#");
}
}
Step 3: Once you have finished typing your program you should Save the source code file.
In fact after making any changes to your source code, you should always save the file. To
save the file for the first time in notepad click on File menu -> Save As. In the Save As
dialog select the directory from the Save In dropdown where you want to save your files, I
generally save my files to C:\csharp, and then in the File name textbox, enter the file name
as HelloWorld.cs (although you can provide any name you want but it should have an
extension.cs). and click Save. Once you have saved the
source code, and if you make any further modifications, in notepad use the Ctrl+S keyboard
short-cut to save your source code file.
Step 4: Since you have finished writing the source code its time to compile it. Since we are
using a command-line compiler that ships with the .NET SDK, start the command prompt
from Start -> Program Files -> Accessories -> Command Prompt. Or go to Start -> Run,
type cmd and press enter. Now from the command prompt navigate to the directory where
you have stored the source code file by issuing the following DOS commands.cd\ -To
navigate to the root of the derived csharp - To navigate to the csharp directory. Once you
are in the csharp directory where you
saved the source code file earlier, its time to run the C# Compiler csc.exe. Issue the
following command to compile our HelloWorld.cs
program:csc HelloWorld.cs
Step 5: If the compilation of the source code was successful then a new executable (Exe)
file by the name HelloWorld.exe will be created in the directory you compiled the source
code. To execute the program simply type the name of the executable file at the command
prompt.
Points to Remember
1.
2.
C# code can be written in any text editor like notepad.

C# Source Code files are saved with the extension.cs.
3.
C# is a case-sensitive language so you have to be careful while typing.
4.
C# runs on the .NET Platform, hence you need to install the .NET SDK in order to
compile C# programs.
5.
The C# compiler is contained within the file csc.exe, which generally resides in the
C:\windows\Microsoft. NET\Framework\v1.0.4322 directory.
6. Operators, types and variables in C#

7. Variables: A variable is a storage location with a type. Variables can have values
8.
9.
assigned to them, and those values can be changed programmatically. A constant is

a variable whose value cannot be changed.
Types: Like C++ and Java, C# divides types into two sets: intrinsic Built-in types
that the language offers and user-defined types that the programmer defines. C#
also divides the set of types into two other categories: value types and reference
types. The principal difference between value and reference types is the manner in
which their values are stored in memory. C# is a "Strongly Typed" language. Thus all
operations on variables are performed with consideration of what the variable's
"Type" is. There are rules that define what operations are legal in order to maintain
the integrity of the data you put in a variable.
The Boolean Type: Boolean types are declared using the keyword, bool. They have
two values: true or false. In other languages, such as C and C++, boolean conditions
can be satisfied where 0 means false and anything else means true. However, in C#
the only values that satisfy a boolean condition is true and false, which are official
keywords.
using System;
class Booleans
{
{
bool content = true;
bool noContent = false;
Console.WriteLine("{0} C# programming language content.",
content);
Console.WriteLine("This is second statement {0}.", noContent);
}
}
10. Integral Types: In C#, an integral is a category of types. For anyone confused
11.
because the word Integral sounds like a mathematical term, from the perspective of
C# programming, these are actually defined as Integral types in the C#
programming language specification. They are whole numbers, either signed or
unsigned, and the char type. The char type is a Unicode character, as defined by the
Unicode Standard.
Floating Point and Decimal Types: A C# floating point type is either a float or
double. They are used any time you need to represent a real number. Decimal types
should be used when representing financial or money values.
12. The string Type: A string is a sequence of text characters. You typically create a
13.
string with a string literal, enclosed in quotes: "This is an example of a string."

You've seen strings being used in Lesson 1, where we used the Console.WriteLine
method to send output to the console.
The Array Type: Another data type is the Array, which can be thought of as a
container that has a list of storage locations for a specified type. When declaring an
Array, specify the type, name, dimensions, and size.
using System;
class NewArray
{
{
int[] myInts = { 5, 10, 15 };
bool[][] myBools = new bool[2][];
myBools[0] = new bool[2];
myBools[1] = new bool[1];
double[,] myDoubles = new double[2, 2];
string[] myStrings = new string[3];
Console.WriteLine("myInts[0]: {0},
myInts[1]: {1}, myInts[2]: {2}", myInts[0], myInts[1],
myInts[2]);
myBools[0][0] = true;
myBools[0][1] = false;
myBools[1][0] = true;
Console.WriteLine("myBools[0][0]:
{0}, myBools[1][0]: {1}", myBools[0][0], myBools[1][0]);
myDoubles[0, 0] = 4.245;
myDoubles[0, 1] = 6.355;
myDoubles[1, 1] = 8.415;
myDoubles[1, 0] = 56.1148917;
Console.WriteLine("myDoubles[0, 0]:
{0}, myDoubles[1, 0]: {1}", myDoubles[0, 0],
myDoubles[1, 0]);
myStrings[0] = "An";
myStrings[1] = "App";
myStrings[2] = "Cattt";
Console.WriteLine("myStrings[0]:
{0}, myStrings[1]: {1}, myStrings[2]: {2}", myStrings[0],
myStrings[1], myStrings[2]);
}
The if Statement
if statement is used to take different paths of logic, depending on the conditions.
using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
class iftest
{
{
if (totalMarks >= 80)
{
MessageBox.Show("Got Higher First Class ");
}
else if (totalMarks >= 60)
{
MessageBox.Show("Got First Class ");
}
else if (totalMarks >= 40)
{
MessageBox.Show("Just pass only");
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("Failed");
}
}
}
The switch Statement

Another form of selection statement is the switch statement, which executes a set of logic
depending on the value of a given parameter. The types of the values a switch statement
operates on can be booleans, enums, integral types, and strings.
using System;
class SwitchTest
{
{
Console.WriteLine("milk bottel size: 1=Small 2=Medium
3=Large");
Console.Write("Please enter your selection: ");
string s = Console.ReadLine();
int n = int.Parse(s);
int price = 0;
switch(n)
{
case 1:
price += 25;
break;
case 2:
price += 25;
goto case 1;
case 3:
price += 50;
goto case 1;
default:
Console.WriteLine("Invalid selection. Please select 1, 2,
or 3.");
break;
}
if (price != 0)
Console.WriteLine("Please insert {0} cents.", price);
Console.WriteLine("Thank you for your business.");
}
}
The while Loop

While loop is used to check a condition and then continues to execute a block of code as
long as the condition evaluates to a boolean value of true. Syntax:while (<boolean expression>)
{
<statements>
}
When the boolean expression evaluates to false, the while loop statements are skipped and
execution begins after the closing brace of that block of code.
using System;
class whiletest
{
static void Main()
{
//
// Continue in while loop until index is equal to ten.
//
int i = 0;
while (i < 10)
{
Console.Write("While statement ");
//
// Write the index to the screen.
//
Console.WriteLine(i);
//
// Iterate the variable.
//
i++;
}
The do Loop
A do loop is similar to the while loop, except that it checks its condition at the end of the
loop. This means that the do loop is guaranteed to execute at least one time.
using System;
class DoWhileLoopDemo
{
{
int i = 0;
// Initialize counter variable
do
{
if ((i % 2) == 0)
{
}
i++;
//Increment the counter
}
while (i <= Limit); // Condition check
}
}
The for Loop

It works like a while loop, except that the syntax of the for loop includes initialization and
condition modification. for loops are appropriate when you know exactly how many times
you want to perform the statements within the loop. The contents within the for loop
parentheses hold three sections separated by semicolons (<initializer list>; <boolean
expression>; <iterator list>) { <statements> }.
using System;
class ForLoop

{
for (int i=0; i < 20; i++)
{
if (i == 10)
break;
if (i % 2 == 0)
continue;
Console.Write("{0} ", i);
}
Console.WriteLine();
Foreach Statement:
The foreach statement is new to the C family of languages; it is used for looping through
the elements of an array or a collection.
class ForEachTest
{
{
int[] num = new int[] { 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,7,8 };
foreach (int i in num)
{
System.Console.WriteLine(i);
}
}
}
Array
An array is the collection of similar type of objects. Array in C# is different for the array of
C++ and other languages because they are
objects. This provides them useful methods and property. Arrays allow a group of elements
of a particular type to be stored
in a contiguous block of memory. Array types derive from System.Array and are declared in
C# using brackets ([]).
Syntax- datatype [] array-name;
e.g.- int [] age;
The square brackets ([]) tell the C# compiler that you are declaring an array, and the type
specifies the type of the elements it will
contain. In the previous example, age is an array of integers. Instantiate an array using the
new keyword. For example:
age = new int[5]; This declaration sets aside memory for an array holding five integers.
Multidimensional Array:
Multidimensional Arrays of two types Rectangular Array and Jagged Array Rectangular Array
represents n-dimensional blocks.
e.g.- int [ , ,] age = new int[17,20,34];
Jagged Arrays are arrays of arrays.
int [][][] books = new int [3][][];

for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++)
{
books[i] = new int [4][];
for (int j = 0; j < 4; j++)
books[i][j] = new int [5];
}
// assign an element
books1 [1,1,1] = books [1][1][1] = 7;
Indexer: Indexers are usually known as smart array in C#.It is used for treating object as
an array.Defining an indexer in C# is much like same as
defining properties. Or we can say that an indexer is a member that enables an object to be
indexed in the same way as an array.
Syntax<access modifier> <return type> this [argument list]
{
get
{
// Write here some code for Get
}
set
{
// Write here some code for Get
}
}
Collections: Collections are the enumerable data structure in C# that can be assessed
using indexes or keys. Types of collections in C# are given belowSystem.Collections namespace
This provides a lot of classes, methods and properties to interact with the varying data
structures that are supported by it. The interfaces
that are defined in this namespace include:
IEnumerable
IEnumerator
ICollection
IList
IDictionary
System.Collections.Stack
System.Collections.Queue Both are derived from ICollection Interface.
The collections that inherit the IDictionary interface include:
System.Collections.SortedList
System.Collections.Hashtable
The IList interface represents collections that only have value. The following are the
classes that extend this interface.
System.Array
System.Collections.ArrayList
System.Collections.Specialized.StringCollection
Concrete Collection Classes:

ArrayList class- This works by maintaining an internal array of objects that is replaced
with a larger array when it reaches its capacity of elements.
BitArray class- It is a dynamically sized array of Boolean values. It is more memoryefficient than a simple array of bools because it uses only one bit for each value.
Hashtable class- A Hashtable is a standard dictionary (key/value) data structure that uses
a hashing algorithm to store and index values efficiently.
Queue class- A Queue is a standard first-in, first-out (FIFO) data structure, providing
simple operations to enqueue, dequeue, peek, etc.
SortedList class-A SortedList is a standard dictionary data structure that uses a binarychop search to index efficiently.
Stack class- A Stack is a standard last-in first-out (LIFO) data structure.
StringCollection class- A StringCollection is a standard collection data structure for storing
strings.
Inheritance
In C#, the specialization relationship is generally implemented by using inheritance.
Inheritance is also provides the reusability, or we can say that extracts some features from
one class to another class.
class Bird
{
public Bird()
{
Console.WriteLine("Bird constructor");
}
public void Greet()
{
Console.WriteLine("Bird says Hello");

}
public void Talk()
{
Console.WriteLine("Bird talk");
}
public virtual void Sing()
{
Console.WriteLine("Bird song");
}
}
class Peacock : Bird
{
public Peacock()
{
Console.WriteLine("Peacock constructor");
}
public new void Talk()
{
Console.WriteLine("Peacock talk");
}
public override void Sing()
{
Console.WriteLine("Peacock song");
}
}
Bird a1 = new Bird();
a1.Talk();
a1.Sing();
a1.Greet();
Bird a2 = new Peacock();
a2.Talk();
a2.Sing();
a2.Greet();
Types of Inheritance:
In Object Oriented Programming concept there are 3 types of inheritances.
1. Single Inheritance,
2. Multiple Inheritance
3. Multilevel Inheritance
Single Inheritance:
public class A
{
}
public class B:A
{
}
Multiple Inheritance:
public class A
{
}
public class B
{
}
public class C:A,B
{
}
Multilevel Inheritance:
public class A
{
}
public class B:A
{
}
public class C:B
{
}
In the above three types C# don't proved Multiple Inheritance. As there is conflict of
multiple override methods in base classes (say A, B in above example) As in Place C# give
another feature called Interfaces using interfaces you can achieve multiple Inheritance
feature.
Polymorphism
Poly means many and morph means form. Thus, polymorphism refers to being able to use
many forms of a type without regard to the details.
Creating Polymorphic Types:
For creating polymorphism there are two steps1. Create a base class with virtual methods.
2. Create derived classes that override the behavior of the base classs virtual methods.
To create a method in a base class that supports polymorphism, mark the method as
virtual.
Example.
public class BaseClass
public virtual void DoWork()

{
}
public virtual int WorkProperty
{
get {
return 0;
}
}
}
public class DerivedClass : BaseClass
{
public override void DoWork()
{
}
public override int WorkProperty()
{
get {
return 0;
}
}
Properties
In C#, properties are natural extension of data fields. But C# provides a built in mechanism
called properties. Usually inside a class, we declare a data field as private and will provide a
set of public. In C#, properties are defined using the property declaration syntax. The
general form of declaring a property is as follows.
<acces_modifier> <return_type> <property_name>
{
get
{
}
set
{
}
}
SET and GET methods to access the data fields, since the data fields are not directly
accessible out side the class. We must use the set/get methods to access the data fields.
Example:
using System;
class Myproperty
{
private int x;
public int X
{
get
{
return x;
}
set
{
x = value;
}
}
}
class Myprop
{
{
Myproperty mc = new Myproperty();
mc.X = 10;
int xVal = mc.X;
Console.WriteLine(xVal);//Displays 10
}
}
Properties and Inheritance

The properties of a Base class can be inherited to a Derived class.
using System;
class Base
{
public int X
{
get
{
Console.Write("Base GET");
return 10;
}
set
{
Console.Write("Base SET");
}
}
}
class Derived : Base
{
}
class MyClient
{
{
Derived d1 = new Derived();
d1.X = 10;
Console.WriteLine(d1.X);//Displays 'Base SET Base GET 10'
}
}
Properties & Polymorphism

A Base class property can be polymorphic overridden in a Derived class. But remember that
the modifiers like virtual, override etc are using at property level, not at accessor level.
using System;
class Base
{
public virtual int X
{
get
{
Console.Write("Base GET");
return 10;
}
set
{
Console.Write("Base SET");
}
}
}
class Derived : Base
{
public override int X
{
get
{
Console.Write("Derived GET");
return 10;
}
set
{
Console.Write("Derived SET");
}
}
}
class MyClient
{
{
Base b1 = new Derived();

b1.X = 10;
Console.WriteLine(b1.X);//Displays 'Derived SET
Derived GET 10'
}
}
Abstract Properties
It is declared as abstract by using the keyword abstract. Remember that an abstract
property in a class carries no code at all. The get/set assessors are simply represented with
a semicolon. In the derived class we must implement both set and get assessors.
using System;
abstract class Abstract
{
public abstract int X
{
get;
set;
}
}
class Concrete : Abstract
{
public override int X
{
get
{
Console.Write(" GET");
return 10;
}
set
{
Console.Write(" SET");
}
}
}
class MyClient
{
{
Concrete c1 = new Concrete();
c1.X = 10;
Console.WriteLine(c1.X);//Displays
'SET GET 10'
}
}
Attributes
Attributes contains a powerful method of associating declarative information with C# code
for types, methods, properties. Once associated with a program entity, the attribute can be
queried at run time and used in any number of ways.
Uses of Attributes:
Associating help documentation with program entities (through a Help attribute).

Associating value editors to a specific type in a GUI framework (through a Value
Editor attribute).
using System;
[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.All)]
public class HelpAttribute : System.Attribute
{
public readonly string Url;
public string Topic
{
get
{
return topic;
}
set
{
}
// Topic is a named parameter
topic = value;
}
public HelpAttribute(string url) // url is a positional parameter
{
this.Url = url;
}
private string topic;
}
When do we need attributes ?

1. The System.ObsoleteAttribute attribute that we have just described is a good
example of how an attribute is used by the compiler, certain standard attributes
which are only destined for the compiler are not stored in the assembly.
2. An attribute can be consumed by the CLR during execution. For example the .NET
Framework offers the System.ThreadStaticAttribute attribute. When a static field is
marked with this attribute the CLR makes sure that during the execution, there is
only one version of this field per thread.
3. An attribute can be consumed by a debugger during execution. Hence, the

System.Diagnostics.DebuggerDisplayAttribute attribute allows personalizing the
display of an element of the code the state of an object for example) during
debugging.
4. Structs
5. Structure is the collection of dissimilar data types. A struct is a simple user-defined
type, a lightweight alternative to classes. Structs are somewhat more efficient in
their use of memory in arrays. The C# struct is a lightweight alternative to a class. It
can do almost the same as a class, but it's less "expensive" to use a struct rather
than a class.
class Program
{
{
Home home;
Home = new Home("Blue");
Console.WriteLine(Home.Describe());
Home = new Home("Red");
Console.WriteLine(Home.Describe());
}
Console.ReadKey();
}
struct Home
{
private string color;
public Home(string color)
{
this.color = color;
}
public string Describe()
{
return "This Home is " + Color;
}
public string Color

{
get { return color; }
set { color = value; }
}
A struct is a value type and a class is a reference type. When a struct is created, the
variable to which the struct is assigned holds the struct's actual data. and When an object of
the class is created, the variable to which the object is assigned holds only a reference to
that memory.
When the struct is assigned to a new variable, it is copied and When the object reference is
assigned to a new variable. The new variable and the original variable therefore contain two
separate copies of the same data. Changes made to one copy do not affect the other copy.
the new variable refers to the original object.
In general, classes are used to model more complex behavior, or data that is intended to be
modified after a class object is created.
Structs are best suited for small data structures that contain primarily data that is not
intended to be modified after the struct is created.
When to Use Structures?
If the instances are relatively small

If the instance life-time is going to be very short
If you are going to embed the instance into some other instances
Delegate
A delegate in C# language allows us to reference a method. If we are using a C or
C++ then we would sound familiar because a delegate because it
is basically a function pointer. Delegates have other uses in addition to event
handling. Delegate maintains three important pieces of information :
1. The name of the method on which it make calls.
2. Any argument (if any) of this method.
3. The return value (if any) of this method.
What is a Function Pointer?

Function Pointers are pointers, i.e. variables, which point to the address of a
function.
Types of Delegate
Delegates are of two types

1.Single Cast delegate
public delegate <return type> <delegate name>(parameters)
2.Multi Cast delegate

public delegate void <delegate name>(parameters)
Advantage of using Delegate
Dynamic binding can be done by using delegate because we can call more than one
methods at a time dynamically by calling the delegate in which the methods is
defined.
Example
namespace delgnew
{
public delegate int Delg(int x, int y);
public class Math
{
public static int Add(int x, int y)
{
return x + y;
}
public static int Multiply(int x, int y)
{
return x * y;
}
}
class Fun
{
{
Delg del1 = new Delg(Math.Add);
int add1 = del1(7, 7);
Console.WriteLine("7 + 7 = {0}\n",
add1);
Delg del2 = new Delg(Math.Multiply);
int multiply1 = del2(7,7);
Console.WriteLine("7 * 7 = {0}",
multiply1);
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
}
Static Delegates
Denoting static field is meaning that it will not be modified. You can invoke delegates
without declaring a local delegate instance. Just pass in the static delegate of the class.
Delegates as Properties
The problem with static delegates is that they must be instantiated whether or not they are
ever used.
Event
An event might be a button push, a menu selection in short we can cay that something
happens and you must respond to it. You cannot predict the order in which events will arise.
For example- when you click a button, it might raise the Click event. When you add to a
drop-down list, it might raise a List Changed event.
Defining Event
using System;
class Eventtest
{
public event EventHandler myfun
{
add
{
Console.WriteLine ("Event Fired");
}
remove
{
Console.WriteLine ("Controlled");
}
}
static void Main()
{
Eventest et = new Eventtest();
et.myfun += new EventHandler
(et.DoNothing);
et.myfun -= null;
}
void DoNothing (object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
}
An event allows a class (or other object) to send notifications to other classes (or objects)
that something has occurred. In simple terms an event is the outcome of a specific action. If
you have developed programmers in graphical user interfaces (GUI) then you are very
familiar with Event handling.
When a user interacts with a GUI control (e.g., clicking a button on a form), one or more
methods are executed in response to the above event. Events can also be generated without
user interactions. Event handlers are methods in an object that are executed in response to
some events occurring in the application.
What is Exception?
The exceptions are anomalies that occur during the execution of a program. Exception
handling is a mechanism in .NET framework to detect
and handle run time errors. They can be because of user, logic or system errors. If a user
(programmer) do not provide a mechanism to handle these anomalies, the .NET run time
environment provide a default mechanism, which terminates the program execution.
In C# there are three keywords Try, Catch and Finally for handling exceptions.
In try block statements it might throw an exception whereas catch handles that caused by
try block if one exists.
The finally block is used for doing any clean up process. The statement in finally block
always executes.
e.g.
try
{
// this can cause an exception.
}
catch (Type x)
{
// for handling the exception.
}
finally
{
//this will execute.
}
Handling Exceptions
In catch block, if don't use a brackets or arguments, we can catch all exceptions occurred
inside a try block. Even we can use a catch
block with an Exception type parameter to catch all exceptions happened inside the try
block.
Since in C#, all exceptions are directly or indirectly inherited from the Exception class.
e.g.
class newexp
{
{
int a = 0;
int div = 0;
try
{
div = 100/a;
Console.WriteLine("This will not print");
}
catch
{
Console.WriteLine("oException" );
}
Console.WriteLine("Result is {0}",div);
}
}
Exceptions Classes
Following are some common exception classes.
SystemException- This exception means a failed run-time check used as a base
class for other.
AccessException- This exception means failure to access a type member, such as a

method or field.
ArgumentException- This exception means an argument to a method was invalid.
ArgumentNullException- This exception means a null argument was passed to a
method that doesn't accept it.
ArgumentOutOfRangeException-This exception means argument value is out of
range.
ArithmeticException- This exception means arithmetic over or underflow has
occurred.
ArrayTypeMismatchException- This exception means attempt to store the wrong
type of object in an array.
BadImageFormatException- This exception means image is in the wrong format.
CoreException- This exception means base class for exceptions thrown by the
runtime.
DivideByZeroException- This exception means an attempt was made to divide by
zero.
FormatException- This exception means the format of an argument is wrong.
IndexOutOfRangeException- This exception means an array index is out of
bounds.
InvalidCastExpression- This exception means an attempt was made to cast to an
invalid class.
InvalidOperationException- This exception means a method was called at an
invalid time.
MissingMemberException- This exception means an invalid version of a DLL was
accessed.
NotFiniteNumberException- This exception means a number is not valid.
NotSupportedException- This exception means indicates that a method is not
implemented by a class.
NullReferenceException- This exception means attempt to use an unassigned
reference.
OutOfMemoryException- This exception means not enough memory to continue
execution.
StackOverflowException- This exception means a stack has overflow.
What is thread ?
Threads are typically created when you want a program to do two things at once.
Starting Threads
The simplest way to create a thread is to create a new instance of the Thread class.
The Thread constructor takes a single argument: a
delegate type. The CLR provides the ThreadStart delegate class specifically for this
purpose, which points to a method you designate.
This allows you to construct a thread and to say to it "when you start, run this
method." The ThreadStart delegate declaration is:
public delegate void ThreadStart( );
Example for Creating Thread:
using System;
using System.Threading;
public class CreatingThread
{

{
Thread MyThread = new Thread(new
ThreadStart(ThreadProc));
MyThread.Start();
MyThread.Join();
}
protected static void ThreadProcess()
{
for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
{
}
}
Creating a Thread of Execution:
using System;
class MyThread
{
public int count;
string thrdName;
public MyThread(string name) {
count = 0;
thrdName = name;
}
public void run()
{
Console.WriteLine(thrdName + " starting.");
do {
Thread.Sleep(500);
Console.WriteLine("In " + thrdName +", count is
" + count);
count++;
} while(count < 10);
Console.WriteLine(thrdName + " terminating.");
}
}
public class MultiThread
{
{
Console.WriteLine("Main thread starting.");
MyThread mt = new MyThread("Child #1");
Thread newThrd = new Thread(new
ThreadStart(mt.run));
newThrd.Start();
do {
Console.Write(".");
Thread.Sleep(100);
} while (mt.count != 10);
Console.WriteLine("Main thread ending.");
}
}
Joining Threads
To join thread1 (t1) onto thread2 (t2), write:
t2.Join( );
Joining the current thread to each thread in the collection in turn:
foreach (Thread myThread in myThreads)

{
myThread.Join( );
}
Console.WriteLine("All my threads are done.");
Create multiple threads of execution
using System;
class MyThread
{
public int count;
public Thread thrd;
public MyThread(string name)
{
count = 0;
thrd = new Thread(new ThreadStart(this.run));
thrd.Name = name;
thrd.Start();
}
void run()
{
Console.WriteLine(thrd.Name + " starting.");
do
{
Thread.Sleep(500);
Console.WriteLine("In " + thrd.Name +", count
is " + count);
count++;
} while(count < 10);
Console.WriteLine(thrd.Name + " terminating.");
}
}
public class MoreThreads {
public static void Main() {
Console.WriteLine("Main thread starting.");

MyThread mt1 = new MyThread("Child #1");
do
{
Console.Write(".");
Thread.Sleep(100);
} while (mt1.count < 10 || mt2.count < 10 ||
mt3.count < 10);
Console.WriteLine("Main thread ending.");
}
}
Suspending Threads
To cause your thread to sleep for one second, you can invoke the static method of Thread,
Sleep, which suspends the thread in which it is
invoked:
Thread.Sleep(1000);
Killing Threads
For killing a thread Abort( ) method is used. This causes a ThreadAbortException exception
to be thrown, which the thread can catch,
and thus provides the thread with an opportunity to clean up any resources it might have
allocated.
catch (ThreadAbortException)
{
Console.WriteLine("[{0}] Aborted! Cleaning up...",
Thread.CurrentThread.Name);
}
Example for Suspending, resuming, and stopping a thread:
using System;
class MyThread {
public Thread thrd;
public MyThread(string name) {
thrd = new Thread(new ThreadStart(this.run));
thrd.Name = name;
thrd.Start();
}
void run() {
Console.WriteLine(thrd.Name + " starting.");
for(int i = 1; i <= 1000; i++) {
Console.Write(i + " ");
if((i%10)==0) {
Thread.Sleep(250);
}
}
Console.WriteLine(thrd.Name + " exiting.");
}
}
public class SuspendResumeStop {
public static void Main() {
MyThread mt1 = new MyThread("My Thread");
Thread.Sleep(1000); // let child thread start executing
mt1.thrd.Suspend();
Console.WriteLine("Suspending thread.");
Thread.Sleep(1000);
mt1.thrd.Resume();
Console.WriteLine("Resuming thread.");
Thread.Sleep(1000);
mt1.thrd.Suspend();
Console.WriteLine("Suspending thread.");
Thread.Sleep(1000);
mt1.thrd.Resume();
Console.WriteLine("Resuming thread.");
Thread.Sleep(1000);
Console.WriteLine("Stopping thread.");
mt1.thrd.Abort();
mt1.thrd.Join(); // wait for thread to terminate
Console.WriteLine("Main thread terminating.");
}
}
Synchronization
Synchronization is provided by a lock on the object, which prevents a second thread from
barging in on your
object until the first thread is finished with it.
Microsoft Visual Studio

Visual Studio is an integrated development environment (IDE) developed by Microsoft. It
can be used to develop console and graphical user interface applications along with Windows
Forms applications, web sites, web applications, and web services in both native code
together with managed code for all platforms supported by Microsoft Windows, Windows
Mobile, Windows CE.
Architecture
It does not support any programming language, solution or tool intrinsically. Instead, it
allows plugging in various types of functionality, that is coded as a VSPackage.
The IDE provides three services:
SVsSolution, which provides the ability to enumerate projects and solutions;
SVsUIShell, which provides windowing and UI functionality (including tabs, toolbars and tool
windows)
SVsShell, which deals with registration of VSPackages.
In addition, the IDE also manages for coordinating and enabling communication between
services. All editors, designers, project types and other tools are implemented as
VSPackages. Visual Studio uses COM to access the VSPackages. The Visual Studio SDK also
includes the Managed Package Framework (MPF), which is a set of managed wrappers
around the COM-interfaces that allow the Packages to be written in any CLI compliant
language. However, MPF does not provide all the functionality exposed by the Visual Studio
COM interfaces. The services can then be consumed for creation of other packages, which
add functionality to the Visual Studio IDE.
Features of Microsoft Visual Studio
Code editor: Code editor that supports syntax highlighting and code completion using
IntelliSense for not only variables, functions and methods but also language constructs like
loops and queries.
Debugger: It works both as a source-level debugger and as a machine-level debugger. It
works with both managed code as well as native code and can be used for debugging
applications written in any language supported by Visual Studio.
Designer: It includes a host of visual designers to aid in the development of applications.

These tools includes
Windows Forms Designer: It includes a palette of UI widgets and controls (including

buttons, progress bars, labels, layout containers and other controls) that can be
dragged and dropped on a form surface.
WPF(Windows Presentation Foundation) Designer: It is used to author user interfaces
targeting Windows Presentation Foundation. It supports all WPF functionality
including data binding and automatic layout management.
Web designer/development: It is used for developing ASP.NET applications and

supports HTML, CSS and JavaScript. It uses a code-behind model to link with
ASP.NET code. From Visual Studio 2008 onwards, the layout engine used by the web
designer is shared with Microsoft Expression Web.
Class designer: The Class Designer can generate C# and VB.NET code outlines for
the classes and methods. It can also generate class diagrams from hand-written
classes.
Data designer: The data designer can be used to graphically edit database schemas,
including typed tables, primary and foreign keys and constraints. It can also be used
to design queries from the graphical view.
Mapping designer: The mapping designer is used by LINQ to SQL to design the
mapping between database schemas and the classes that encapsulate the data.
Other tools
ToolBox Explorer
Open Tabs Browser: It is used to list all open tabs and to switch between them. It is
invoked using CTRL+TAB.
Properties Editor: It is used to edit properties in a GUI pane inside Visual Studio.
Object Browser: It can be used to browse the namespaces (which are arranged
hierarchically) in managed assemblies.
Solution Explorer: It is used to manage and browse the files in a solution.
Team Explorer: It is used to integrate the capabilities of Team Foundation Server, the
Revision Control System into the IDE (and the basis for Microsoft's CodePlex hosting
environment for open source projects). In addition to source control it provides the ability to
view and manage individual work items (including bugs, tasks and other documents) and to
browse TFS statistics.
Data Explorer: It is used to manage databases on Microsoft SQL Server instances.
Server Explorer: It tool is used to manage database connections on an accessible
computer.
Included products
Microsoft Visual C++: It is Microsoft's implementation of the C and C++ compiler

and associated languages-services and specific tools for integration with the Visual
Studio IDE.
Microsoft Visual C#: Microsoft's implementation of the C# language, targets the .NET
Framework, along with the language services that lets the Visual Studio IDE support
C# projects.
Microsoft Visual Basic: Microsoft's implementation of the VB.NET language and

associated tools and language services. It was introduced with Visual Studio .NET
(2002).
Creating Windows Application

For creating a new project you need to first load Visual Studio .NET and select
Windows Application as in Figure below . Type the name of the project below along
with selecting the desired location to store your files.
Designing The Interface: We are going to design a simple application for adding
values in List Box from from textbox input by the user, for this will need to add the
following items onto your form.
GroupBox
Label
ComboBox
Textbox
Button
ListBox
Adding The Code: When this form loads we need to populate the ComboBox with
the appropriate values. Add the following code by clicking on the form on the outside
of the groupBox. You should see something like this:
write this code on Form Load Event-
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

{
comboBox1.Items.Add("Dr.");
comboBox1.Items.Add("Er.");
comboBox1.Items.Add("Mr.");
comboBox1.Items.Add("Mrs.");
comboBox1.Items.Add("Ms.");
comboBox1.Focus();
}
Double-click on the OK button and add the following code:
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{
listBox1.Items.Add(comboBox1.Text + " " +textBox1.Text + " "
+ textBox2.Text);
textBox1.Text = "";
textBox2.Text = "";
comboBox1.Text = "";
comboBox1.Focus();
}
When we want to allow the user to clear all fields entered into the listBox, we will
need to go back like we did above to the visual designer and double-click on the
Clear List button, this should again switch to a code view and allow you to add the
following code-
private void button2_Click(object sender,

EventArgs e)
{
listBox1.Items.Clear();
comboBox1.Focus();
}
And finally we want to allow the user to be able to close the application when they
want. To show you another way to allow the user to close the program aside from
that catchy X in the upper right-hand corner, I have provided a button entitled Close.

{
this.Dispose();

Controls
System.Windows.Forms.Control class This class defines the basic functionality of the
controls, which is why many properties and events in the controls. Some controls, named
custom or user controls, derive from another class: System.Windows.Forms.UserControl.
This class is itself derived from the Control class and provides the functionality we need to
create controls ourselves.
Properties
All controls have a number of properties that are used to manipulate the behavior of the
control. The base class of most controls, Control, has a number of properties that other
controls either inherit directly or override to provide some kind of custom behavior.
Name
Anchor
Availability
Read/Write
Description
It tells how control behaves when its
container is resized.
BackColor
Bottom
Read/Write
Read/Write
about background color of a control.

You can specify the distance from the
top of the window to the bottom of the
control. This is not the same as
specifying the height of the control.
Read/Write
by this property you can make a

control dock to the edges of a window.
Enabled
Read/Write
Enabled to true usually means that

the control can receive input from the
user. Setting Enabled to false usually
means that it cannot.
ForeColor
Read/Write
foreground color of the control.
Height
Read/Write
distance from the top to the bottom of

the control.
Left
Read/Write
left edge of the control relative to the

left edge of the window.
Name
Read/Write
name of the control. This name can be

used to reference the control in code.
Parent
Read/Write
parent of the control.
Right
Read/Write
right edge of the control relative to

the left edge of the window.
TabIndex
Read/Write
number the control has in the tab

order of its container.
TabStop
Read/Write
Specifies whether the control can be

accessed by the Tab key.
Tag
Read/Write
This value is usually not used by the

control itself, and is there for you to
store information about the control on
the control itself. When this property
is assigned a value through the
Windows Form designer, you can only
assign a string to it.
Top
Read/Write
The top edge of the control relative to

the top of the window.
Visible
Read/Write
Specifies whether or not the control is

visible
at runtime.
Width
Read/Write
width of the control.
Dock
Events
When a user clicks a button or presses a button, you as the programmer of the application,
want to be told that this has happened. To do so, controls use events. The Control class
defines a number of events that are common to the controls we'll use in this chapter.
Name
Description
MouseMove
Occurs continually as the mouse travels over the

control.
MouseUp
Occurs when the mouse pointer is over a control and a

mouse button
is released.
Click
Occurs when a control is clicked. In some cases, this

event will also occur when a user presses Enter.
Occurs when a control is double-clicked. Handling the

Click event on some controls, such as the Button control
DoubleClick
will mean that the DoubleClick event can never be
called.
DragDrop
Occurs when a drag-and-drop operation is completed, in

other words, when an object has been dragged over the
control, and the user releases the mouse button.
DragEnter
Occurs when an object being dragged enters the bounds

of the control.
DragLeave
Occurs when an object being dragged leaves the bounds

of the control.
DragOver
Occurs when an object has been dragged over the

control.
KeyDown
Occurs when a key becomes pressed while the control

has focus. This event always occurs before KeyPress and
KeyUp.
KeyPress
Occurs when a key becomes pressed, while a control

has focus. This event always occurs after KeyDown and
before KeyUp. The difference between KeyDown and
KeyPress is that KeyDown passes the keyboard code of
the key that has been pressed, while KeyPress passes
the corresponding char value for the key.
KeyUp
Occurs when a key is released while a control has focus.

This event always occurs after KeyDown and KeyPress.
GotFocus
Occurs when a control receives focus. Do not use this

event to perform validation of controls. Use Validating
and Validated instead.
LostFocus
Occurs when a control looses focus. Do not use this

event to perform validation of controls. Use Validating
and Validated instead.
Occurs when the mouse pointer is over a control and a

mouse button is pressed. This is not the same as a Click
MouseDown
event because MouseDown occurs as soon as the button
is pressed and before it is released.
Paint
Occurs when the control is drawn.
Validated
This event is fired when a control with the

CausesValidation property set to true is about to receive
focus. It fires after the Validating event finishes and
indicates that validation is complete.
Validating
Fires when a control with the CausesValidation property

set to true is about to receive focus. Note that the
control which is to be validated is the control which is

losing focus, not the one that is receiving it.
The Button Control

The button control exists on just about any Windows dialog you can think of. A button is
primarily used to perform three kinds of tasks:
For closing a dialog with a state (for example, OK and Cancel buttons)
For performing an action on data entered on a dialog (for example clicking Search after
entering some search criteria)
For opening another dialog or application (for example, Help buttons)
Properties of Button Control
Name
Availability
Description
FlatStyle
Read/Write
If you set the style to PopUp, the button will appear

flat until the user moves the mouse pointer over it.
When that happens, the button pops up to its
normal 3D look.
Enabled
Read/Write
Enabled property to false means that the button

becomes grayed out and nothing happens when
you click it.
Image
Read/Write
Allow you to specify an image (bitmap, icon etc.),

which will be displayed on the button.
ImageAlign Read/Write
Button Events
With this property, you can set where the image on

the button should appear.
The most used event of a Button is the Click event. This occurs whenever a user clicks the
button, by which we mean pressing the left mouse button and releasing it again while over
the button. This means that if you left-click on the button and then draw the mouse away
from the button before releasing it the Click event will not be raised. Also, the Click event is
raised when the button has focus and the user press Enter. If you have a button on a form,
you should always handle this event.
Adding the Event Handlers
When you double-click the control two things happens in the code behind the form. First of
all, a subscription to the event is created in the InitializeComponent() method:
this.btnEnglish.Click += new System.EventHandler(this.btnEnglish_Click);
The second thing that happens, is that the event handler itself is added.

{
label1.Text = "You have clicked the button!!!";
}
Label and Link Label

The label is a simple control with one purpose only: to present a caption or short hint to
explain something on the form to the user.
Visual Studio.NET includes two label controls that are able to present them selves to the
user in two distinct ways:
Label, the standard Windows label
LinkLabel, a label like the standard one (and derived from it), but presents itself as an
internet link (a hyperlink)
The TextBox Control

Text boxes should be used when you want the user to enter text that you have no
knowledge of at design time (for example the name of the user). The primary function of a
text box is for the user to enter text, but any characters can be entered, and it is quite
possible to force the user to enter numeric values only.
Properties of TextBox
Name
Availability
CausesValidation Read/Write
CharacterCasing Read/Write
Description
When a control that has this property set to
true is about to receive focus, two events are
fired: Validating and Validated. You can
handle these events in order to validate data
in the control that is losing focus. This may
cause the control never to receive focus. The
related events are discussed below.
A value indicating if the TextBox changes the
case of the text entered. The possible
values are:
q Lower: All text entered into the text box is
converted lower case.
q Normal: No changes are made to

the text.
q Upper: All text entered into the text box is
converted to upper case.
MaxLength
Read/Write
A value that specifies the maximum length in

characters of any text, entered into the
TextBox. Set this value to zero it the
maximum limit is limited only by available
memory.
Multiline
Read/Write
Indicates if this is a Multiline control. A

Multiline control is able to show multiple lines
of text.
PasswordChar
Read/Write
Specifies if a password character should

replace the actual characters entered into a
single line textbox. If the Multiline property is
true then this has no effect.
ReadOnly
Read/Write
A Boolean indicating if the text is read only.
ScrollBars
Read/Write
Specifies if a multilane text box should

display scrollbars.
SelectedText
Read/Write
The text that is selected in the text box.
SelectionLength Read/Write
The number of characters selected in the

text. If this value is set to be larger than the
total number of characters in the text, it is
reset by the control to be the total number of
characters minus the value of SelectionStart.
SelectionStart
Read/Write
The start of the selected text in a text box.
WordWrap
Read/Write
Specifies if a multiline text box should

automatically wrap words if a line exceeds
the width of the control.
Events of TextBox
Name
Description
Enter
GotFocus
Leave
Validating
Validated
These six events occur in the order they are listed here. They are
known as "Focus Events" and are fired whenever a controls focus
changes, with two exceptions. Validating and Validated are only
fired if the control that receives focus has the CausesValidation
property set to true. The reason why it's the receiving control that
fires the event is that there are times where you do not want to
validate the control, even if focus changes. An example of this is
if the user clicks a Help button.
LostFocus
KeyDown
KeyPress
These three events are known as "Key Events". They allow you to
monitor and change what is entered into your controls.
KeyDown and KeyUp receive the key code corresponding to the

key that was pressed. This allows you to determine if special keys
such as Shift or Control and F1 were pressed.
KeyUp
Change
KeyPress, on the otherhand, receives the character corresponding

to a keyboard key. This means that the value for the letter "a" is
not the same as the letter "A". It is useful if you want to exclude
a range of characters, for example, only allowing numeric values
to be entered.
Occurs whenever the text in the textbox is changed, no matter
what
the change.
TextBox Test
First Design a form on choosing New Project of Windows Application. and then set the
properties of label, button and forms like shown in above picture.

Adding Events on TextBoxEvent on TextBox Leave Event-
private void nametxt_Leave(object sender, EventArgs e)

{
if (nametxt.Text == "")
{
}
nametxt.BackColor = Color.Red;
}

private void nametxt_KeyPress(object sender,

KeyPressEventArgs e)
{
if (nametxt.BackColor == Color.Red)
{
nametxt.BackColor = Color.Snow;
}
}
Radio Button
Radio buttons themselves as a label with a dot to the left of it, which can be either selected
or not. You should use the radio buttons when you want to give the user a choice between
several mutually exclusive options. for Example, if you want to ask for the gender of the
user.
To group radiobuttons together so that they create one logical unit you must use a
GroupBox control. By first placing a group box on a form, and then placing the RadioButton
controls you need within the borders of the group box, the RadioButton controls will know to
change their state to reflect that only one within the group box can be selected. If you do
not place them within a group box, only one RadioButton on the form can be selected at any
given time.
CheckBox Controls
A CheckBox traditionally displays itself as a label with a small box with a checkmark to the
left of it. You should use the check box when you want to allow the user to choose one or
more options. An example could be a questionnaire asking which operating systems the
user has tried (for example, Windows 95, Windows 98, Linux, Max OS X, and so on.)
RadioButton Properties
Name
Availability
Description
Read/Write
A RadioButton can be displayed either as a

label with a circular check to the left, middle
or right of it, or as a standard button. When
it is displayed as a button, the control will
appear pressed when selected and 3D
otherwise.
AutoCheck
Read/Write
When this property is true, a check mark is

displayed when the user clicks the radio
button. When it is false, the check mark is
not displayed by default.
CheckAlign
Read/Write
By using this property, you can change the

alignment of the radio button. It can be left,
middle, and right.
Checked
Read/Write
Indicates the status of the control. It is true

if the control has a check mark, and false
otherwise.
Appearance
RadioButton Events
Name
Description
This event is sent when the check of the RadioButton

changes. If there is more than one RadioButton control on
CheckChanged the form or within a group box, this event will be sent twice,
first to the control, which was checked and now becomes
unchecked, then to the control which becomes checked.
Click
This event is sent every time the RadioButton is clicked. This

is not the same as the change event, because clicking a
RadioButton twice or more times in succession only changes
the checked property once and only if it wasn't checked
already.
CheckBox Properties
Name Availability
Description
CheckStateRead/Write
Unlike the RadioButton, a CheckBox can have

three states: Checked, Indeterminate, and
Unchecked. When the state of the check box is
Indeterminate, the control check next to the label
is usually grayed, indicating that the current value
of the check is not valid or has no meaning under
the current circumstances. An example of this
state can be seen if you select several files in the
Windows Explorer and look at their properties. If
some files are ReadOnly and others are not, the
ReadOnly checkbox will be checked, but grayed
indeterminate.
ThreeState Read/Write
When this property is false, the user will not be

able to change the CheckBox' state to
Indeterminate. You can, however, still change the
state of the check box to Indeterminate from
code.
CheckBox Events
Name
CheckedChanged
Description
Occurs whenever the Checked property of the check
box changes. Note that in a CheckBox where the
ThreeState property is true, it is possible to click the
check box without changing the Checked property.
This happens when the check box changes from
checked to indeterminate state.
Occurs whenever the CheckedState property changes.

As Checked and Unchecked are both possible values
of the CheckedState property, this event will be sent
CheckedStateChanged
whenever the Checked property changes. In addition
to that, it will also be sent when the state changes
from Checked to Indeterminate.
Example: In following image i have created a window form for saving information of
student like personal info and subjects of his/her. For this you have to drag and drop 4
textboxes, 2 radiobuttons, 5 labels and 3 buttons. Change all controls properties like in
picture.
In figure 2 if user direct click on ok button then he/she will get massage for alert to fill all
information. In Figure 3 if user fill personal information and then click on Ok button then
he/she will get alert message for choosing gender. And in figure 4 if user not choose subject
and click on ok button then he will get another alert message for choosing subject. To
making all these validation you have to write following code on Ok button Click.
Code For Ok Button Click:

{
if (textBox1.Text == "" || textBox2.Text == "" || textBox4.Text
== "")
MessageBox.Show("Please fill all personal information",

"Warning",
MessageBoxButtons.OKCancel, MessageBoxIcon.Warning);
}
else if (radioButton1.Checked == false && radioButton2.Checked
== false)
MessageBox.Show("Please select Gender", "Warning",

MessageBoxButtons.OKCancel,
MessageBoxIcon.Warning);
}
else if (checkedListBox1.Text=="")
{
MessageBox.Show("Please select Subjects", "Warning",
MessageBoxButtons.OKCancel,
MessageBoxIcon.Warning);
}
else
{
if (radioButton1.Checked)
{
// Concatenate the text values of the four TextBoxes
output = "Name: " + this.textBox1.Text + "\r\n";
output += "Address: " + this.textBox2.Text + "\r\n";
output += "Course: " + this.textBox4.Text + "\r\n";
output += "Sex: " + this.radioButton1.Text + "\r\n";
output += "Subject:";
foreach (string sub in checkedListBox1.CheckedItems)
output += " " + sub;
}
if (radioButton2.Checked)
{
// Concatenate the text values of the four TextBoxes
output += "Address: " + this.textBox2.Text + "\r\n";
output += "Course: " + this.textBox4.Text + "\r\n";
output += "Sex: " + this.radioButton2.Text+"\r\n";
output += "Subject:";
foreach (string sub in checkedListBox1.CheckedItems)
output += " " + sub;
}
this.textBox3.Text = output;
Now if you to give condition for user that he should must choose at least three subjects
then you can add code for this on Checklistbox Leave Event. Like following code.
Code for Leave Event on Checklist Box.
private void checkedListBox1_Leave(object sender,

EventArgs e)
{
int count = checkedListBox1.CheckedItems.Count;
{
if(count<=3)
MessageBox.Show("Your minimum choice is
Three subject");
}
}
Final output will show like in below figure
GroupBox Control
Windows Forms GroupBox controls are used to provide a most important facility for
grouping other controls. Typically, you use group boxes to subdivide a form by function. For
example, you may have an order form that specifies mailing options such as which
overnight carrier to use. Grouping all options in a group box gives the user a logical visual
cue. The GroupBox control is similar to the Panel control; however, only the GroupBox
control displays a caption, and only the Panel control can have scroll bars.
Group Box Properties

Rich TextBox Control

Like the normal TextBox, the RichTextBox control is derived from TextBoxBase. Because of
this, it shares a number of features with the TextBox, but is much more diverse. Where a
TextBox is commonly used with the purpose of obtaining short text strings from the user,
the RichTextBox is used to display and enter formatted text (for example bold, underline,
and italic). It does so using a standard for formatted text called Rich Text Format or RTF.
RichTextBox Properties
Name

text that has been marked as protected.
This event is sent when the selection changes. If

for some reason you don't want the user to
SelectionChanged
change the selection, you can prevent the change
here.
Example of Rich TextBox: To implement rich textbox create new application and design
form like below image, and change properties according to your choice.
In following image i am making selected text bold on clicking the bold Button. Coding for
bold button is given below.
Code for Bold Button

{
Font oldFont;
Font newFont;
// Get the font that is being used in the selected text
oldFont = this.richTextBox1.SelectionFont;
// If the font is using bold style now, we should remove
the
// Formatting
if (oldFont.Bold)
newFont = new Font(oldFont, oldFont.Style &
~FontStyle.Bold);
else
newFont = new Font(oldFont, oldFont.Style |
FontStyle.Bold);
// Insert the new font and return focus to the

RichTextBox
this.richTextBox1.SelectionFont = newFont;
this.richTextBox1.Focus();
}
In following image i am making selected text Italic on clicking the italic Button. Coding for
italic button is given below.
Code for Italic Button

{
Font oldFont;
Font newFont;
// If the font is using Italic style now, we should remove
it
if (oldFont.Italic)
~FontStyle.Italic);
else

// Insert the new font
}
In following image i am making selected text Underline on clicking the Underline Button.
Coding for Underline Button is given below.

// Insert the new font
}
In following image i am making selected text Center on clicking the Center Button. Coding
for Center Button is given below.
Coding for Center Button

{
if (this.richTextBox1.SelectionAlignment ==
HorizontalAlignment.Center)
this.richTextBox1.SelectionAlignment =
HorizontalAlignment.Left;
else
this.richTextBox1.SelectionAlignment =
HorizontalAlignment.Center;
}
In following image i am making selected text size large and small by putting the value in
size textbox. Coding for this is given below.
Coding for Size Change

for this you have to write following code on textbox validating event.
private void txtSize_Validating(object sender,

CancelEventArgs e)
{
TextBox txt = (TextBox)sender;
ApplyTextSize(txt.Text);
}
And then you have to write keypress event on textbox event.
private void txtSize_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)

{
if ((e.KeyChar < 48 || e.KeyChar > 57) && e.KeyChar != 8 &&
e.KeyChar != 13)
{
e.Handled = true;
}
else if (e.KeyChar == 8)
{
MessageBox.Show("Please input valid size");
}
else if (e.KeyChar == 13)
{
// Apply size if the user hits enter
TextBox txt = (TextBox)sender;
if (txt.Text.Length > 0)
ApplyTextSize(txt.Text);
e.Handled = true;
}
}
and then make a method for applytextsize method
private void ApplyTextSize(string textSize)

{
// Convert the text to a float because we'll be needing a
float shortly
float newSize = Convert.ToSingle(textSize);
FontFamily currentFontFamily;
Font newFont;
// Create a new font of the same family but with the new
size
currentFontFamily =
this.richTextBox1.SelectionFont.FontFamily;
newFont = new Font(currentFontFamily, newSize);
// Set the font of the selected text to the new font
}
ListBox Controls
These controls are used to show a list of strings from which one or more can be selected at
a time. Just like check boxes and radio buttons, the list box provides a means of asking the
user to make one or more selections. You should use a list box when at design time you
don't know the actual number of values the user can choose from (an example could be a
list of co-workers). Even if you know all the possible values at design time, you should
consider using a list box if there are a great number of values.
Properties of Listbox
Name
Availability
Description
SelectedIndex
Read/Write
This value indicates the zero-based index of

the selected item in the list box. If the list
box can contain multiple selections at the
same time, this property holds the index of
the first item in the selected list.
ColumnWidth
Read/Write
In a list box with multiple columns, this

property specifies the width of the columns.
Items
Read-only
The Items collection contains all of the items

in the list box. You use the properties of this
collection to add and remove items.
MultiColumn
Read/Write
A list box can have more than one column.

Use this property the get or set the number
of columns in the list box.
SelectedIndices
Read-only
This property is a collection, which holds all

of the zero-based indices of the selected
items in the list box.
SelectedItem
Read/Write
In a list box where only one item can be

selected, this property contains the selected
item if any. In a list box where more than
one selection can be made, it will contain the
first of the selected items.
SelectedItems
Read-only
This property is a collection, which contains

all of the items currently selected.
SelectionMode
Read/Write
You can choose between four different modes
of selection in a list box:

q None: No items can be selected.
q One: Only one item can be selected at any
time.
q MultiSimple: Multiple items can be
selected.
q MultiExtended: Multiple items can be
selected and the user can use the Ctrl, Shift
and arrows keys to make selections.
Sorted
Text
CheckedIndicies
Read/Write
Setting this property to true will cause the

ListBox to sort the items it contains
alphabetically.
Read/Write
We've seen Text properties on a number of

controls, but this one works very differently
than any we've seen so far. If you set the
Text property of the list box control, it
searches for an item that matches the text,
and selects it. If you get the Text property,
the value returned is the first selected item
in the list. This property cannot be used if
the SelectionMode is None.
Read-only
(CheckedListBox only) This property is a

collection, which contains all indexes in the
CheckedListBox that is a checked or
indeterminate state.
(CheckedListBox only) This is a collection of
all the items in a CheckedListBox that are in
a checked or indeterminate state.
CheckedItems

one with collection property of this.and change property according to your choice.
My purpose of taking two ListBox is for moving items from listbox1 to ListBox 2 by button
click ad show below with single selection and multi selection if user click on button without
selecting item from listbox1 then he/she will get alert message for choosing items from
ListBox.
Code for this is given below
Write following code on Single selection Button by double click on button.

{
if (listBox1.SelectedIndex >= 0)
{
string selectitem = listBox1.SelectedItem.ToString();
listBox2.Items.Add(selectitem);
listBox1.Items.Remove(selectitem);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("Please Choose Item to move",
"Warning");
}
}
Code for moving all items from one ListBox to another.

EventArgs e)
{
foreach (string item in listBox1.Items)
{
listBox2.Items.Add(item);
}
listBox1.Items.Clear();
}
You will get output as follows
Similarly you can write for moving items from listbox2 to listbox1.
ComboBox Controls
The ComboBox control is used to save space on a dialog because the only part of the combo
box that is permanently visible are the text box and button parts of the control. When the
user clicks the arrow button to the right of the text box, a list box unfolds in which the user
can make a selection. As soon as he or she does so, the list box disappears and the display
returns to normal.
As the name implies, a combo box combines a number of controls, to be specific the
TextBox, Button, and ListBox controls. Unlike the ListBox, it is never possible to select more
than one item in the list of items contained in a ComboBox and it is optionally possible to
type new entries in the list in the TextBox part of the ComboBox.

The ListView Control

The list from which you select files to open in the standard dialog boxes in Windows is a
ListView control Everything you can do to the view in the standard list view dialog (large
icons, details view, and so on). The list view is usually used to present data where the user
is allowed some control over the detail and style of the presentation. It is possible to display
the data contained in the control as columns and rows much like in a grid, as a single
column or in with varying icon representations. The most commonly used list view is like the
one seen above which is used to navigate the folders on a computer.
ListView Control Property
Name
Activation
Availability
Description
Read/Write By using this property, you can control how a

user activates an item in the list view. You should
not change the default setting unless you have a
good reason for doing so, because you will be
altering a setting that the user have set for his or
her entire system. The possible values are:
Standard: This setting is that which the user has
chosen for his or her machine.

OneClick: Clicking an item activates it.
TwoClick: Double-clicking an item activates it.
Alignment
his property allows you to control how the items

in the list view are aligned. The four possible
values are:
Default: If the user drags and drops an item it
remains where he or she dropped it.
Read/Write Left: Items are aligned to the left edge of the
ListView control.
Top: Items are aligned to the top edge of the
ListView control.
SnapToGrid: The ListView control contains an
invisible grid to which the items will snap.
AllowColumn
Reorder
If you set this property to true, you allow the

user to change the order of the columns in a list
view. If you do so, you should be sure that the
Read/Write
routines that fill the list view are able to insert
the items properly, even after the order of the
columns is changed.
AutoArrange
If you set this property to true, items will

automatically arrange themselves according to
the Alignment property. If the user drags an item
to the center of the list view, and Alignment is
Read/Write
Left, then the item will automatically jump to the
left of the list view. This property is only
meaningful if the View property is LargeIcon or
SmallIcon.
CheckBoxes
If you set this property to true, every item in the

list view will have a CheckBox displayed to the
Read/Write
left of it. This property is only meaningful if the
View property is Details or List.
CheckedIndices
Read-only
These two properties gives you access to a

collection of indices and items, respectively,
containing the checked items in the list.
Columns
Read-only
A list view can contain columns. This property

gives you access to the collection of columns
through which you can add or remove columns.
FocusedItem
Read-only
This property holds the item that has focus in the

list view. If nothing is selected, it is null.
FullRowSelect
When this property is true, and an item is

clicked, the entire row in which the item resides
Read/Write
will be highlighted. If it is false, only the item
itself will be highlighted.
GridLines
Setting this property to true will cause the list

view to draw grid lines between rows and
Read/Write
columns. This property is only meaningful when
the View property is Details.
CheckedItems
HeaderStyle
Read/Write You can control how the column headers are

displayed. There are three styles:
Clickable: The column header works like a

button.
NonClickable: The column headers do not
respond to mouse clicks.
None: The column headers are not displayed.
When this property is true, the user can select an
HoverSelection Read/Write item in the list view by hovering the mouse
pointer over it.
Items
Read-only
The collection of items in the list view.
LabelEdit
Read/Write
When this property is true, the user can edit the

content of the first column in a Details view.
LabelWrap
Read/Write
If this property is true, labels will wrap over as

many lines is needed to display all of the text.
This property holds the ImageList, which holds

LargeImageList Read/Write large images. These images can be used when
the View property is LargeIcon.
Set this property to true to allow the user to
select multiple items.
MultiSelect
Read/Write
Scrollable
Read/Write Set this property to true to display scrollbars.
SelectedIndices
SelectedItems
Read-only
These two properties contain the collections

that hold the indices and items that are selected,
respectively.
When the View property is SmallIcon this

SmallImageList Read/Write property holds the ImageList that contain the
images used.
Sorting
You can allow the list view to sort the items it

contains. There are three possible modes:
Read/Write Ascending
Descending
None
The ImageList contains masks for images that

are used as overlays on the LargeImageList and
StateImageList Read/Write
SmallImageList images to represent
custom states.
TopItem
Read-only
View
A list view can display its items in four

different modes:
LargeIcon: All items are displayed with a large
icon (32x32) and a label.
SmallIcon: All items are displayed with a small
Read/Write icon (16x16) and a label.
List: Only one column is displayed. That column
can contain an icon and a label
Details: Any number of columns can be
displayed. Only the first column can contain an
icon.
ListView Methods
Returns the item at the top of the list view.
Name
Description
By calling this method, you tell the list view to stop drawing
updates until EndUpdate is called. This is useful when you are
BeginUpdate
inserting many items at once, because it stops the view from
flickering and dramatically increases speed.
Clear
Clears the list view completely. All items and columns are
removed.
EndUpdate
Call this method after calling BeginUpdate. When you call this
method, the list view will draw all of its items.
EnsureVisible
When you call this method, the list view will scroll itself to make
the item with the index you specified visible.
GetItemAt
Returns the item at position x, y in the list view.
ListView Events
Name
Description
AfterLabelEdit This event occurs after a label have been edited

BeforeLabelEditThis event occurs before a user begins editing a label
ColumnClick
This event occurs when a column is clicked
ItemActivate
Occurs when an item is activated
ListViewItem
The ListViewItem holds information such as text and the index of the icon to display.
ListViewItems have a collection called SubItems that holds instances of another class,
ListViewSubItem. These sub items are displayed if the ListView control is in Details mode.
ColumnHeader
To make a list view display column headers, you add instances of a class called
ColumnHeader to the Columns collection of the ListView. ColumnHeaders provide a caption
for the columns that can be displayed when the ListView is in Details mode.
The ImageList Control
The ImageList control provides a collection that can be used to store images that is used in
other controls on your form. You can store images of any size in an image list, but within
each control every image must be of the same size. In the case of the ListView, which
means that you need two ImageList controls to be able to display both large and small
images.
Example of Listview Control
For using Listview Control make your window form design view like following image. And
change controls property according to your choice. Take
2 listimage Control name as
Large_Image and small_image and add images in that collection property and set
large_image size 32X32.

These controls are used to take printing of documents whether in form of print screen or as
printing in the content form . In following figure i tried to describe about these controls how
you will use in your window application.
For explaining this i had taken the previous example of dialog control, so lets proceed with
printing controls.
Code for Print Preview- For performing this action first add
namespaceusing System.Drawing.Printing;
PrintDocument PrintDoc1 = new PrintDocument();
PrintPreviewDialog PrintPreviewDialog1 = new PrintPreviewDialog();
private void printToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs
e)
PrintPreviewDialog1.Document = PrintDoc1;
PrintDoc1.OriginAtMargins = true; //To set or Get the Position of a
Graphic Object
PrintDoc1.PrintPage += PDoc_PrintPage;
PrintPreviewDialog1.ShowDialog();
Create Method
private void PDoc_PrintPage(object sender, PrintPageEventArgs e)
{
Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(this.Width, this.Height);
this.DrawToBitmap(bmp, this.ClientRectangle);
this.DrawToBitmap(bmp, new Rectangle(0, 0, bmp.Width,
bmp.Height)); //Takes the Snap of
the Exact WindowForm size as Bitmap image
e.Graphics.DrawImage(bmp, 0, 0);
}
Code for taking Print
private void printToolStripMenuItem1_Click(object sender,

EventArgs e)
{
PrintDoc1.Print();
}
Data Controls
For understanding data controls design form like shown in below picture and take datagrid
view control from toolbox. And add new database from solution explorer by choosing new
item.
Add namespace-
using System.Data.SqlClient;
SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(@"Data
Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename= D:\Documents

Flow Layout Panel

The FlowLayoutPanel control is a container control where child controls are added, then
dynamically repositioned to flow in a particular direction. The FlowLayoutPanel automatically
positions all child controls in the direction indicated by the value of the FlowDirection
property.
Useful properties
AutoScroll - This property when set to true, allows scroll bars to be displayed.
BackColor - The background color of the Panel is defaulted to
System.Drawing.SystemColors.Control, but this can be set to any color you like.
BackgroundImage - Instead of a single color, an image can be displayed as the

background.
BorderStyle - This property determines if the panel is outlined with no visible border
(None), a plain line (FixedSingle), or a shadowed line (Fixed3D).
Controls - Gets the collection of controls contained within the control.
Enabled - If this property is set to false, the controls contained within the Panel will also be
disabled.
FlowDirection - Gets or sets a value indicating the flow direction of the FlowLayoutPanel
control. This property takes a value from the FlowDirection enumeration, the default value is
LeftToRight:
BottomUp - Elements flow from the bottom of the design surface to the top.
LeftToRight - Elements flow from the left edge of the design surface to the right.
RightToLeft - Elements flow from the right edge of the design surface to the left.
TopDown - Elements flow from the top of the design surface to the bottom.
TabIndex - Gets or sets the tab order of the control within its container.
TabStop - Gets or sets a value indicating whether the user can give the focus to this control
using the TAB key.
WrapContents - Gets or sets a value indicating whether the FlowLayoutPanel control
should wrap its contents or let the contents be clipped.
Useful methods
GetFlowBreak - Returns a value that represents the flow-break setting of the
FlowLayoutPanel control.
SetFlowBreak - Sets the value that represents the flow-break setting of the FlowLayoutPanel
control.
Example- First drag and drop FloyLayout Panel and add controls like- label->textbox>label->textbox->button. You will see that your controls are adding from left to right
because by default Flawlayout Panel Property i.e.. FlowDirection is left to right. So for
understanding this i have taken one checkbox to make wrapping controls in Flow layout
panel. By default it is false in Flow layout panel.
Code for check box event for wrapping control
private void checkBox1_CheckedChanged(object sender,

EventArgs e)
{
flowLayoutPanel1.WrapContents = true;
}
Table Layout Panel

The TableLayoutPanel control is a container control where child controls are added within a
table structure. Each cell in the table contains a single control, unless a container such as a
Panel is added first.
Useful properties
CellBorderStyle - This property determines if the cell is outlined with a border or not. A
value from the TableLayoutPanelCellBorderStyle enumeration is required, the default value is
None:
Inset - A single-line sunken border.
InsetDouble - A double-line sunken border.
None - No borders.
Outset - A single-line raised border.

Outset Double - A double-line raised border.
OutsetPartial - A single-line border containing a raised portion.
Single - A single-line border.
ColumnCount - Determines the number of columns in the table.
ColumnStyles - A collection of column styles, one for each column in the TableLayoutPanel
control.
GrowStyle - Determines whether the control should expand to accommodate new cells
when all existing cells are occupied. A value from the TableLayoutPanelGrowStyle
enumeration is required, the default value is AddRows:
AddColumns - The TableLayoutPanel gains additional columns after it is full.

AddRows - The TableLayoutPanel gains additional rows after it is full.
FixedSize - The TableLayoutPanel does not allow additional rows or columns after it is
full.
RowCount - Determines the number of rows in the table.
RowStyles - A collection of row styles, one for each row in the TableLayoutPanel
control.
Example
This dialog allows you to edit the SizeType property of each of the Columns and Rows in the
TableLayoutPanel. The SizeType property determines how the Height (RowStyle) or Width
(ColumnStyle) should be interpreted. A value from the SizeType enumeration is required,
the default value is Percent:
Absolute - The row or column should be sized to an exact number of pixels.

AutoSize - The row or column should be automatically sized to share space with its
peers.
Percent - The row or column should be sized as a percentage of the parent container.
Adding a TableLayoutPanel manually
// Create TableLayoutPanel
TableLayoutPanel tlp = new TableLayoutPanel();
// Set the BorderStyle to Inset
tlp.CellBorderStyle =
TableLayoutPanelCellBorderStyle.Inset;
// Grid has two columns
tlp.ColumnCount = 2;
// Grid has two rows

tlp.RowCount = 2;
// If grid is full add extra cells by adding column
tlp.GrowStyle =
TableLayoutPanelGrowStyle.AddColumns;
// Padding (pixels)within each cell (left, top, right,
bottom)
tlp.Padding = new Padding(1, 1, 4, 5);
// Add TableLayoutPanel to the Forms controls
this.Controls.Add(tlp);
Adding controls manually

Adding a control to a TableLayoutPanel at run time can be done in a couple of ways. Simply
using the Add method with just the name of the control adds the control to the first
available cell.
// Create buttons
Button button1 = new Button();
button1.Text = "Click Me";
// Add buttons to
TableLayoutPanel
tlp.Controls.Add(button1);
Panel Control
The Panel control is a container for other controls, customarily used to group related
controls. Panels are used to subdivide a form by function, giving the user a logical visual cue
of control grouping.
Useful properties
AutoScroll - This property when set to true, allows scroll bars to be displayed.
BackColor - The background color of the Panel is defaulted to
System.Drawing.SystemColors.Control, but this can be set to any color you like.
BackgroundImage - Instead of a single color, an image can be displayed as the

background.
BorderStyle - This property determines if the panel is outlined with no visible border
Enabled - if this property is set to false, the controls contained within the Panel will
also be disabled.
TabIndex - Gets or sets the tab order of the control within its container. (inherited
from Control)
TabStop - Gets or sets a value indicating whether the user can give the focus to this
control using the TAB key.
Add a control to a Panel manually
public void CreateMyPanel()

{
Panel panel1 = new Panel();
TextBox textBox1 = new TextBox();
Label label1 = new Label();
// Initialize the Panel control.
panel1.Location = new Point(56,72);
panel1.Size = new Size(264, 152);
// Set the Borderstyle for the Panel to three-dimensional.
panel1.BorderStyle
System.Windows.Forms.BorderStyle.Fixed3D;
// Initialize the Label and TextBox controls.

label1.Location = new Point(16,16);
label1.Text = "label1";
label1.Size = new Size(104, 16);
textBox1.Location = new Point(16,32);
textBox1.Text = "";
textBox1.Size = new Size(152, 20);
// Add the Panel control to the form.
this.Controls.Add(panel1);
// Add the Label and TextBox controls to the Panel.

panel1.Controls.Add(label1);
panel1.Controls.Add(textBox1);
Split Container Control

This control is an advance window's control or it is an extended version of old splitter
control. You can place it at form horizontally or vertically by specifying Orientation property
each represents left/top and right/bottom panels respectively.
The SplitContainer control can be thought of as a composite control; effectively it is two
Panel controls separated by a movable bar (also known as a splitter bar). When the mouse
pointer is over the bar, the pointer changes shape to show that the bar can be moved.
Useful properties
AutoScroll: This property when set to true, allows scroll bars to be displayed.
BackColor: The background color of the SplitContainer is defaulted to
System.Drawing.SystemColors.Control, but this can be set to any color you like. The
whole of the SplitContainer changes color, however, each Panel can have its own
background color.
BackgroundImage: Instead of a single color, an image can be displayed as the

background. The image only appears in the splitter bar.
BorderStyle: This property determines if the panel is outlined with no visible border
Dock: Determines which SplitContainer borders are attached to the edges of the
container. When a SplitContainer control is dropped onto a container, this property
defaults to Fill.
FixedPanel: Determines which SplitContainer panel remains the same size when the
container is resized. This property takes a value from the FixedPanel enumeration,
the default value is None:
None: Specifies that neither SplitContainer.Panel1, SplitContainer.Panel2 is fixed. A

Control.Resize event affects both panels.
Panel1: Specifies that SplitContainer.Panel1 is fixed. A Control.Resize event affects

only SplitContainer.Panel2.
Panel2: Specifies that SplitContainer.Panel2 is fixed. A Control.Resize event affects

only SplitContainer.Panel1.
IsSplitterFixed: Gets or sets a value indicating whether the splitter is fixed or

movable.
Orientation:Gets or sets a value indicating the Horizontal or Vertical orientation of

the SplitContainer panels.
Panel1: Gets the left panel of a vertical SplitContainer or the top panel of a
horizontal SplitContainer. When you click on this property in the IDE properties pane,
you can edit the properties of the underlying Panel.
Panel1Collapsed: Determines whether Panel1 is collapsed or expanded. When this

value is true, Panel1 is hidden and Panel2 expands to fill the SplitContainer. This
property is mutually exclusive with Panel2Collapsed.
Panel1MinSize: Determines the minimum distance in pixels of the splitter from the
left or top edge of Panel1.
Panel2: Gets the right panel of a vertical SplitContainer or the bottom panel of a
horizontal SplitContainer. When you click on this property in the IDE properties pane,
you can edit the properties of the underlying Panel.
Panel2Collapsed: Determines whether Panel2 is collapsed or expanded. When this

value is true, Panel2 is hidden and Panel1 expands to fill the SplitContainer. This
property is mutually exclusive with Panel1Collapsed.
Panel2MinSize: Determines the minimum distance in pixels of the splitter from the
right or bottom edge of Panel2.
SplitterDistance: Determines the location of the splitter, in pixels, from the left
(Orientation = Vertical) or top (Orientation = Horizontal) edge of the SplitContainer.
SplitterIncrement: Gets or sets a value representing the increment of splitter

movement in pixels.
SplitterRectangle: Gets the size and location of the splitter relative to the
SplitContainer.
SplitterWidth: Determines the width of the splitter in pixels.
DateTimePicker and
Month Calendar
DateTimePicker
DateTimePicker is ideal for choosing a single date and/or time value and requires the same
amount of space as an ordinary drop-down list box. When the user clicks the drop-down

Example
Code for DateTime Picker Control
private void
EventArgs e)
{
dateTimePicker1_ValueChanged(object
sender,
label1.Text = "DateTimePicker Date: " +

dateTimePicker1.Text;
}
Code for Month Calendar Control
private void monthCalendar1_DateChanged(object sender, DateRangeEventArgs e)

{
label2.Text = "Month Calender Date :
" +
monthCalendar1.SelectionStart.ToLongDateString();
}
NumericUpDown Control
This control is a simple way to give the user a way to select a number that falls between a
minimum and a maximum value. The numeric value can be incremented or decremented by
clicking the up or down buttons of the control. The user can also enter in a value.
NumericUpDown control is controlled by four integer properties:
Minimum, Maximum- Both defines the minimum and maximum values of the
control
ValueThis shows the current value of the control.
Increment- The Increment property defines the amount by which the current
value is incremented or decremented when the user clicks the up or down arrow
buttons.
ValueChanged Event
This event occurs Value property can be changed in code, by clicking the up or down button,
or by the user entering a new value that is read by the control. The new value is read when
the user hits the ENTER key or navigates away from the control. If the user enters a new
value and then clicks the up or down button, the ValueChanged event will occur twice.
ProgressBar and Timer Control

For explaining Progressbar control we have link it with event so that the value of progress
bar can increase, so here i have chosen timer control. And the the value of progressbar
control is increment with timer control tick event.
Progress bar control is used to hide the backend process so that user can aware of time
consumed by back process of that application.
Code for Timer Control Tick Event
private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)

{
progressBar1.Visible = true;
progressBar1.Value = progressBar1.Value + 5;
label3.Visible = true;
label3.Text = "Please Wait While we are checking Authentication...";
if (progressBar1.Value == progressBar1.Maximum)
{
if ((textBox1.Text == "r4r") && (textBox2.Text == "r4r"))
{
progressBar1.Visible = false;
label3.Text = "Welcome!! you are Authorised User.";
progressBar1.Enabled = false;
progressBar1.Value = 0;
groupBox1.Visible = false;
}
else
{
progressBar1.Enabled = false;
progressBar1.Visible = false;
progressBar1.Value = 0;
label3.Text = "Sorry!! Username or Password is Wrong.";
Make Progressbar Control Visible Property "false".

Make timer enabled property true on "OK" button click.

{
timer1.Enabled = true;
}
ToolTip Control
ToolTip Control Provides the information to user when user moves mouse pointer over
control. Like shown in below picture.
Adding ToolTip on Controls

Step-1: Drap and drop tooltip control from toolbox to your form in which you want to add .
Step-2: Set the property of ToolTip as shown in below picture.
Step-3: Add tool tip on control in which you want to add. in above picture i have added
ToolTip on textbox control. For this just simple type text on tooltip on ToolTip1 control: "
Enter user name". Like in below picture.
TreeView Control
TreeView Control is used for showing hierarchical structured data visually e.g.. XML.
Example for TreeView Control In shown Below -This is image of Explorer in Windows that
show files and folder in tree view.
Working With TreeView Control

Drag and drop TreeView Control from toolbox, Like shown in below image.
In following example I have taken a tree list view of colleges name for this i have taken
ContextMenuChild and Parent for adding nodes. And you can also add by on clicking add
child button and add sibling event.
Code for Add Child is given Below
private void buttonAddChild_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)

{
if (textBox1.Text != "")
AddChildToTheNode();
else
{
MessageBox.Show("Enter the Node Text to be added");
textBox1.Focus();
}
}
private void AddChildToTheNode()
{
TreeNode tnode = new TreeNode(textBox1.Text);
treeView1.SelectedNode.Nodes.Add(tnode);
treeView1.ExpandAll();
if (treeView1.SelectedNode.Nodes.Count > 1 &&
treeView1.SelectedNode.ForeColor != Color.Blue)
treeView1.SelectedNode.ForeColor = Color.Brown;
}
Code for Menu Item Click
private void menuItem2_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)

{
AddChildToTheNode();
else
{
textBox1.Focus();
}
}
Code for Add Sibling
private void btnAddSibling_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)

{
AddSiblingToTheNode();
else
{
textBox1.Focus();
}
}
private void AddSiblingToTheNode()
{
TreeNode tnode = new TreeNode(textBox1.Text);
tnode.ForeColor = Color.Brown;
treeView1.SelectedNode.Parent.Nodes.Add(tnode);
}
Code For Deleting Child and Sibling.
private void buttonDeleteParent_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs

e)
{
DeleteNode();
}
private void DeleteNode()
{
if (treeView1.SelectedNode.Nodes.Count == 0)
treeView1.SelectedNode.Remove();
else
MessageBox.Show("First Remove all the child nodes");
}
Menus and ToolBar Controls

In this category following controls comes-
MenuStrip
ToolStrip controls
ContextMenusStrip
StatusStrip
MenuStrip Control
Useful properties
AllowItemReorder (Inherited from ToolStrip) - Gets or sets a value indicating

whether drag-and-drop and item reordering are handled privately by the MenuStrip
class. Set the property to true to allow reordering. At run time, the user holds down
the ALT key and the left mouse button to drag a ToolStripMenuItem to a different
location on the MenuStrip.
AllowMerge (Inherited from ToolStrip) - When enabled, this property allows
multiple-document interface (MDI) children to combine their respective menus in the
MDI parent.
Dock - Gets or sets which edge of the parent container a MenuStrip is docked to.
LayoutStyle - Gets or sets a value indicating how the MenuStrip lays out its items.
Padding (Inherited from Control) - Gets or sets the control's internal spacing
characteristics. The default values for Padding are reasonably close to Windows user
interface guidelines.
RenderMode - Gets or sets the painting styles to be applied to the MenuStrip.
TextDirection (Inherited from ToolStrip) - Allows the text to be rotated within

the button. The property takes one of four values contained in the
ToolStripTextDirection enumeration.
Horizontal - Specifies horizontal text orientation.
Inherit - Specifies that the text direction is inherited from the parent control.
(Default state)
Vertical270 - Specifies that text is to be rotated 270 degrees clockwise.
Vertical90 - Specifies that text is to be rotated 90 degrees clockwise.
ToolStrip Control
The ToolStrip is a container for holding different types of controls that are derived from
ToolStripItem. In the example that we just created, the ToolStrip holds a selection of
buttons which are instances of ToolStripButton. Other items that can be held within the
ToolStrip are:
ToolStripSplitButton
ToolStripDropDownButton
ToolStripLabel
ToolStripProgressBar
ToolStripSeparator
ToolStripComboBox
ToolStripTextBox
A ToolStrip appears by default as Office-style with a flat look. Windows XP themes are
supported however the painting of the control may be overridden.
Adding standard Items in ToolStrip
ContextMenusStrip Control
Applications use two kinds of menusmain menus and context menus. Context menus are
"pop up" menus that provide additional options, usually when the user right-clicks a part of
the window.
Adding Menus in ContextMenusStrip
At runtime, your ContextMenusStrip wont appear. You have two choices to display it. The
easiest approach is to associate it with another control by setting the
Control.ContextMenuStrip property to your ContextMenusStrip object. When the user rightclicks the control, your context menu appears automatically. As shown in Picture
Background Worker Control

The BackgroundWorker Component allows a form to run an operation asynchronously. This
is very useful when we deal with such kind of operations as database transactions, image
downloads etc.
Adding DoWork
The DoWork method is like any other event handler. Here we must look at the C# view of
your file, where we will see the DoWork method. You should see that the
backgroundWorker1_DoWork event is generated when you double-click on DoWork. For
testing, let's add a Thread.Sleep command there. The Thread.Sleep method will pause the
execution of the BackgroundWorker, but does not consume the entire CPU.
Code For DoWork Event is Given Below
private void backgroundWorker1_DoWork(object sender,

DoWorkEventArgs e)
{
TestObject argumentTest = e.Argument as TestObject;
Thread.Sleep(100);
argumentTest.OneValue = 12;
argumentTest.TwoValue = 14;
e.Result = argumentTest;
}
public Form1()
{
TestObject test = new TestObject
{
OneValue = 15,
TwoValue = 4
};
backgroundWorker1.RunWorkerAsync(test);
}
class TestObject
{
public int OneValue { get; set; }
public int TwoValue { get; set; }
}
Creating Slice Chart in windows using C#

Introduction: In C# with the help of GDI classes we can design or draw charts or graphs is
a very efficient manner in our projects. Charts are the pictorial representation of the data
through chart one can easily judge or see the ups and down or profit loss in other words we
can say we can show the groth rate of any business through chart. Slice Charts are consider
as cutting a cake into slices based on the weight. In this chart, angle of slice is linearly
proportional to weight. With the help of FillPie() method slice chart can be designed.
Void FillPie(Brush brush, int x,int y, int width,int height, int startAngle, int sweepAngle)
FillPie function is used to fill as ellipse if sweep angle is 360. To make it a circle, we make
height and width both equal to diameter of circle.
Brush brush: It is a brush object used to fill the Pie.

Int x: x co-ordinate of upper left corner of the bounding rectangle that defines the
ellipse from which the pie section comes.
So if the x co-ordinate of center of our circle is x0 and radius is r: - x = x0
r;
Int y: Same as x- co-ordinate. y = y0 r;
Int width: Width of bounding rectangle that defines the ellipse from which the pie
section comes. width = 2*radius;
Int startAngle: Angle in degrees measured clockwise from the x-axis to the first side
of the pie section.
So we start with 0 degrees and increment it with the sweepAngle for

the next slice to start right after the end of previous slice.
Int sweepAngle: Angle in degrees measured clockwise from the startAngle parameter
to the second side of pie section. So this is span of angle based on weight.
So 360 degrees is proportionally divided into 8 parts based on the

weight.
Example: To draw slice chart we have to take an array named alweight.
Code for on Form Load:

{
alWeight = new int[] { 13, 23, 33, 15, 20, 10, 4, 11 };
}
Code for DrawSliceChart method
private void DrawSliceChart(PaintEventArgs e, int[] alWeight)

{
int numberOfSections = alWeight.Length;
int x0 = 100;
int y0 = 100;
int radius = 100;
int startAngle = 0;

e.Graphics.DrawPie(pen, x0 - height[i], y0 - height[i], 2
* radius, 2 * radius, startAngle, sweepAngle);

startAngle += sweepAngle;
brush.Color = Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Black);
}
}
Code for SumofArray method
private static int SumOfArray(int[] intArray)

{
int sum = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < intArray.Length; i++)
{
}
sum += intArray[i];
return sum;
}
Difference between FillPie( ) and DrawPie( )

The only difference between DrawPie and FillPie is that it takes Pen object instead of Brush.
Calling DrawSliceChart Method
private void Form1_Paint_1(object sender, PaintEventArgs e)

{
DrawSliceChart(e, alWeight);
}
Introduction of Socket
A Socket is an End-Point for communication link between two programs (Server Program
and Client Program ) running on the same network .Socket is bidirectional. We have to write
two programs for implementing a socket application in C#.
Server Socket Program ( Server )

Client Socket Program ( Client ) .
In C# network programming can be done by using namespaces like System.Net and

System.Net.Sockets . The classes and methods of these namespaces can communicate
across the network. The communication can be either connection oriented or connectionless.
They can also be either stream oriented or data-gram based.
Server Socket Program- Server program running on a computer has a socket that bound
to a Port Number on the same computer and listening to the client's incoming requests.
Client Socket Program- Client program have to know the IP Address ( Hostname ) of the
computer that the C# Server Socket Program resides and the Port Number assign for
listening for client's request .
Code for Server Socket Program
using System;
using System.Net.Sockets;
using System.Text;
namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
class Program
{
{
TcpListener serverSocket = new TcpListener(8888);
int requestCount = 0;
TcpClient clientSocket = default(TcpClient);
serverSocket.Start();
Console.WriteLine(" >> Server Started");
clientSocket = serverSocket.AcceptTcpClient();
Console.WriteLine(" >> Accept connection from client");
requestCount = 0;
while ((true))
{
try
{
requestCount = requestCount + 1;
NetworkStream networkStream =
clientSocket.GetStream();
byte[] bytesFrom = new byte[10025];
networkStream.Read(bytesFrom, 0,
(int)clientSocket.ReceiveBufferSize);
string dataFromClient =
System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(bytesFrom);
dataFromClient = dataFromClient.Substring(0,
dataFromClient.IndexOf("$"));
Console.WriteLine(" >> Data from client - " +
dataFromClient);
string serverResponse = "Server response " +
Convert.ToString(requestCount);
Byte[] sendBytes =
Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(serverResponse);
networkStream.Write(sendBytes, 0,
sendBytes.Length);
networkStream.Flush();
Console.WriteLine(" >> " + serverResponse);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString());
}
}
}
}
clientSocket.Close();
serverSocket.Stop();
Console.WriteLine(" >> exit");
Console.ReadLine();
Code for Client Socket Program

For creating Client design a Client using windows application. Server is console application
but client is windows application. Server will give response when client request to sending
data or connecting with server.

public Form1()
{
}
{
msg("Client Started");
clientSocket.Connect("127.0.0.1", 8888);
}
public void msg(string mesg)
{
textBox1.Text = textBox1.Text + Environment.NewLine + "
>> " + mesg;
}
{
NetworkStream serverStream = clientSocket.GetStream();
byte[] outStream =
System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("Message from Client$");
serverStream.Write(outStream, 0, outStream.Length);
serverStream.Flush();
byte[] inStream = new byte[10025];
serverStream.Read(inStream, 0,
(int)clientSocket.ReceiveBufferSize);
string returndata =
System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(inStream);
msg("Data from Server : " + returndata);
}
}
First execute the Server Socket Program and then Client Socket Program as shown in above
pictures-
On Click to button "Send data to server" the data will send to server.
Creating Bar Chart in windows using C#

Introduction: For making bar chart we will make use of DrawRectangle in built function.
because we have to first create a big rectangle defining the boundary of bar graphs.
Parameters of DrawRectangle is :
1. Pen This defines the color and style of border
2. Rectangle Rectangle object to be created
Rectangle(int x, int y, int width,int height)
X and y are the co-ordinates of top left corner of rectangle. Width and height are width and
height of rectangle.
Height = (weight of current array element *height of outer rectangle )/ maximum weight.
X coordinate is incremented by width of bars everytime a new bar is created.
Y co-ordinate is calculated by the following formula:
y = y coordinate of outer rectangle + height of outer rectangle height of bar
Code for DrawBarChart
private void DrawBarChart(PaintEventArgs e, int[] alWeight)

int lengthArea = 330;
int heightArea = 280;
int topX = 20;
int topY = 20;
int maxWeight = MaxValue(alWeight);
Pen pen = new Pen(Color.Gray);
Rectangle rec = new Rectangle(topX, topY, lengthArea,
heightArea);
e.Graphics.DrawRectangle(pen, rec);
pen.Color = Color.Black;
int smallX = topX;
int smallY = 0;
int smallLength = (lengthArea / alWeight.Length);
int smallHeight = 0;
{
brush.Color = Color.FromArgb(rnd.Next(200, 255),
rnd.Next(255), rnd.Next(255), rnd.Next(255));
smallHeight = ((alWeight[i] * heightArea) /
maxWeight);
smallY = topY + heightArea - smallHeight;
Rectangle rectangle = new Rectangle
(smallX, smallY, smallLength, smallHeight);
e.Graphics.DrawRectangle(pen, rectangle);
e.Graphics.FillRectangle(brush, rectangle);
brush.Color =
Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Black);
e.Graphics.DrawRectangle(pen, rectangle);
smallX = smallX + smallLength;
}
}
What is DLL?
A dynamic linking library (DLL) is linked to your program at run time. DLL is similar to an
EXE but is not directly executable. Functions in the dll are called from the main exe. It
provides a way to split what would be a very large exe into an exe plus one or more dlls.
Creating DLL in C#
To creating DLL in C# just follow next stepsGoto File -> New Project then choose Class Library you will see window like below.
Here i am going to show DLL for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Code for
this is given below-
using
using
using
using
System;
System.Linq;
System.Text;
namespace ClassLibrary1
{
public class Class1
{
public int add(int x,int y)
{
int z = x + y;
return z;
}
public int sub(int x, int y)
{
int z = x - y;
return z;
}
public int mul(int x, int y)
{
int z = x * y;
return z;
}
public int div(int x, int y)
{
int z = x / y;
return z;
}
After this Build this class by pressing F6 and dll will generate this class library now you can
use this in any other application where you want to use this dll.
Using DLL in C# Application
For using DLL in application you have to make add reference of the dll that you
Design the form as shown in below picture -

{
ClassLibrary1.Class1 c1 = new Class1();
int result=
c1.add(int.Parse(textBox1.Text),int.Parse(textBox2.Text));
textBox3.Text = result.ToString();
}

{
int result = c2.sub(int.Parse(textBox1.Text),
int.Parse(textBox2.Text));
}
{
int result = c3.mul(int.Parse(textBox1.Text),
}
{
int result = c4.div(int.Parse(textBox1.Text),
}
Introduction of GDI(Graphics Design Interface)

GDI (Graphics Design Interface) through which we can design rectangle, circle, and more
shapes with the help of programming of classes and methods. Like other languages C#
also provides rich set of classes, methods and events for developing applications with
graphical capabilities.
GDI+
GDI+ is the advance evolution of GDI. Microsoft has taken care of most of the GDI
problems and have made it easy to use with GDI+.
GDI+ resides in System.Drawing.dll assembly.
All GDI+ classes are reside in the System.Drawing, System.Text, System.Printing,
System.Internal , System.Imaging, System.Drawing2D and System.Design
namespaces.
Graphics ClassesThe Graphics class encapsulates GDI+ drawing surfaces. Before drawing any object (for
example circle, or rectangle) we have to create a surface using Graphics class. Generally we
use Paint event of a Form to get the reference of the graphics. Another way is to override
OnPaint method.
protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e)

{
Graphics g = e.Graphics;
}
Some Graphics Class's Methods DrawArc ( )
Draws an arc from the specified ellipse.
DrawBezier( )
Draws a cubic bezier curve.
DrawBeziers ( )
Draws a series of cubic Bezier curves.
DrawClosedCurve( Draws a closed curve defined by an

)
array of points.
DrawCurve ( )
Draws a curve defined by an array of

points.
DrawEllipse( )
Draws an ellipse.
DrawImage ( )
Draws an image.
DrawLine ( )
Draws a line.
DrawPath( )
Draws the lines and curves defined by a

GraphicsPath.
DrawPie ( )
Draws the outline of a pie section.
DrawPolygon( )
Draws the outline of a polygon.
DrawRectangle( ) Draws the outline of a rectangle.

DrawString ( )
Draws a string.
FillEllipse ( )
Fills the interior of an ellipse defined by

a bounding rectangle.
FillPath( )
Fills the interior of a path.
FillPie ( )
Fills the interior of a pie section.
FillPolygon( )
Fills the interior of a polygon defined by
an array of points.
FillRectangle ( )
Fills the interior of a rectangle with a

Brush.
FillRectangles ( )
Fills the interiors of a series of

rectangles with a Brush.
FillRegion( )
Fills the interior of a Region.
For making GDI+ application you have to first add Reference of System.Drawing.Dll like
shown in below picture.
After this you have to add two namespaces -
using System.Drawing;
using System.Drawing.Drawing2D;
Graphics ObjectsWith the help of Graphics object, you can draw lines, fill shapes, draw text and more. The
major objects are given belowPen
Used to draw lines and polygons, including rectangles, arcs,
and pies.
Brush
Used to fill enclosed surfaces with patterns,colors, or

bitmaps.
Color
Used to describe the color used to render a particular

object. In GDI+ color can be alpha blended.
Font
Used to describe the font to be used to render text.
Pen Class- A pen draws a line of specified width and style. You can initialize Pen with a
color or brush.
Initializes a new instance of the Pen class with the specified color.
public Pen(Color);
Initializes a new instance of the Pen class with the specified Brush.
public Pen(Brush);
Initializes a new instance of the Pen class with the specified Brush and width.
public Pen(Brush, float);
Initializes a new instance of the Pen class with the specified Color and Width.
public Pen(Color, float);
ExamplePen pn = new Pen( Color.Blue ); or Pen pn = new Pen( Color.Blue, 150 );
Properties of Pen AlignmentGets or sets the alignment for objects drawn with this Pen.
Brush
Gets or sets the Brush that determines attributes of this Pen.
Color
Gets or sets the color of this Pen.
Width
Gets or sets the width of this Pen.
Color Class: A Color represents an ARGB color. Properties of color is given below
A
Gets the alpha component value for this Color.
Gets the blue component value for this Color.
Gets the green component value for this Color.
Gets the red component value for this Color.
ExamplePen pn = new Pen( Color.Blue );

Font Class- The Font class defines a particular format for text such as font type, size, and
style attributes.
//Initializes a new instance of the Font class with the specified

attributes.
public Font(string, float);

//Initializes a new instance of the Font class from the specified existing
Font and FontStyle.
public Font(Font, FontStyle);
ExampleFont font = new Font("Times New Roman", 26);
Brush Class-
The Brush class is an abstract base class and cannot be instantiated. We always use its
derived classes to instantiate a brush object, like
SolidBrush
TextureBrush
RectangleGradientBrush
LinearGradientBrush.
ExampleLinearGradientBrush lBrush = new LinearGradientBrush(rect, Color.Red, Color.Yellow,

LinearGradientMode.BackwardDiagonal);
Example of Drawing a Rectangle
protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs pe)

{
Graphics gcs = pe.Graphics;
Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(30, 30, 230, 200);
LinearGradientBrush lBrush = new LinearGradientBrush(rect,
Color.Bisque, Color.DarkMagenta,
LinearGradientMode.BackwardDiagonal);
gcs.FillRectangle(lBrush, rect);
}
How to Access IP Address of LAN Connected Computers

Creating Line Chart in windows using C#

Introduction- For making Line Chart, we have to first create boundary with
DrawRectangle using built function. then we will decide on which points to draw the line.
Code for Draw Line Chart
private void DrawLineChart(PaintEventArgs e, int[] alWeight)

{
int lengthArea = 300;
int heightArea = 200;
int topX = 35;
int topY = 90;
Pen pen = new Pen(Color.Gray);
Rectangle rec = new Rectangle(topX, topY, lengthArea,
heightArea);
e.Graphics.DrawRectangle(pen, rec);
pen.Color = Color.Black;
int smallX = topX;
int smallY = 0;
int smallLength = (lengthArea / (alWeight.Length + 1));

int smallHeight = 0;
Point p1 = new Point();
Point p2 = new Point();
{
brush.Color = Color.FromArgb(rnd.Next(200, 255),
rnd.Next(255),
p1 = p2;
p2.X = p2.X + smallLength;
smallHeight = ((alWeight[i] * heightArea) / maxWeight);
p2.Y = topY + heightArea - smallHeight;
if (p1.X != 0 && p1.Y != 0)
{
e.Graphics.DrawLine(pen, p1, p2);
}
DrawDots(e, p2);
smallX = smallX + smallLength;
}
Code for Drawing Dots

{
Pen pen = new Pen(Color.SeaGreen);
e.Graphics.DrawPie(pen, p1.X - 5, p1.Y - 5, 10, 10, 0, 360);
e.Graphics.FillPie(new SolidBrush(Color.Purple), p1.X - 5, p1.Y 5, 10, 10, 0, 360);
}
Code for Calculating Max Value and Sum of Array
private static int MaxValue(int[] intArray)

{
int maxVal = intArray[0];
{
if (intArray[i] > maxVal)
maxVal = intArray[i];
}
return maxVal;
}
_________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________
private static int SumOfArray(int[] intArray)

{
int sum = 0;
{
sum += intArray[i];
}
return sum;
Creating Pie Chart in windows using C#

Introduction: Pie Chart is another chart which also uses the buil in functions. In this
chart, angle of slice remains the same for all slices but the radius varies based on the
weight. For this we first find out maximum weight MaxWeight. Then MaxWeight will be equal
to the radius and other slices will have radius proportionally lesser then MaxWeight.
let weight is 30-
MaxWeight = 30;
width = (30*radius)/MaxWeight;
sweepAngle = 360/TotalNumberOfWeights;
startAngle will start from 0 and is incremented by sweepAngle. - startAngle += sweepAngle;
Code for DrawPie Chart
private void DrawPieChart(PaintEventArgs e, int[] alWeight)

{
int x0 = 180;
int y0 = 120;
int radius = 200;
int startAngle = 0;
int sweepAngle = 360 / numberOfSections;
Random rnd = new Random(10);
SolidBrush brush = new
SolidBrush(Color.Aquamarine);
Pen pen = new Pen(Color.Black);
{
height[i] = ((Convert.ToInt32(alWeight[i])) *
radius) / maxWeight;
brush.Color = Color.FromArgb(rnd.Next(200,
255), rnd.Next(255),
e.Graphics.FillPie(brush, x0 - height[i], y0 height[i],
2 * height[i], 2 * height[i], (startAngle + i * 45),
sweepAngle);
e.Graphics.DrawPie(pen, x0 - height[i], y0 height[i],
2 * height[i], 2 * height[i], (startAngle + i * 45),
sweepAngle);
}
}
Code for Calculating MaxValue
private static int MaxValue(int[] intArray)

{
int maxVal = intArray[0];
for (int i = 0; i < intArray.Length; i+
+)
{
if (intArray[i] > maxVal)
maxVal = intArray[i];
}
return maxVal;
}
Calling DrawPieChart Method
private void Form1_Paint_1(object sender,

PaintEventArgs e)
{
}
DrawPieChart(e, alWeight);

Synchronization in C#
Introduction of Synchronization- Synchronization is particularly important when threads
access the same data; its surprisingly easy to run aground in this area.
Synchronization constructs can be divided into four categories:
Simple blocking methods

Locking constructs
Signaling constructs
No blocking synchronization constructs
Synchronization in Threads- Synchronization is needed in thread when we have multiple

threads that share data, we need to provide synchronized access to the data. We have to
deal with synchronization issues related to concurrent access to variables and objects
accessible by multiple threads at the same time.
using System;
namespace CSharpThreadExample
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] arg)
{
Console.WriteLine("-----> Multiple Threads ---->");
Printer p=new Printer();
Thread[] Threads=new Thread[3];
for(int i=0;i<3;i++)
{
Threads[i]=new Thread(new
ThreadStart(p.PrintNumbers));
Threads[i].Name="Child "+i;
}
foreach(Thread t in Threads)
t.Start();
}
Console.ReadLine();
}
class Printer
{
public void PrintNumbers()
{
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
{
Thread.Sleep(100);
Console.Write(i + ",");
}
}
}
Why we use Lock keyword- lock(object) is used to synchronize the shared object.
Syntax:
lock (objecttobelocked)
{
objecttobelocked.somemethod();
}
objecttobelocked is the object reference which is used by more than one thread to
call the method on that object.
The lock keyword requires us to specify a token (an object reference) that must be
acquired by a thread to enter within the lock scope.
Using of Monitor- The lock scope actually resolves to the Monitor class after being
processed by the C# compiler. Lock keyword is just a notation for using
System.Threading.Monitor class.
using System;
namespace CSharpThreadExample
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] arg)
{
Console.WriteLine(" -----> Multiple Threads
----->");
Printer p = new Printer();

Thread[] Threads = new Thread[3];
for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++)
{
Threads[i] = new Thread(new
ThreadStart(p.PrintNumbers));
Threads[i].Name = "Child " + i;
}
foreach (Thread t in Threads)
t.Start();
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
class Printer
{
public void PrintNumbers()
{
Monitor.Enter(this);
try
{
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
{
Thread.Sleep(100);
Console.Write(i + ",");
}
}
finally
{
Monitor.Exit(this);
}
}
}
}
Creating Word document using C#

Multiple Colored Texts in RichTextBox using C#

Actually This Application tells how to enter values in a richtextbox with multiple color texts.
There is a property to set colored text by using SelectionText. Richtextbox has the
properties of SelectionFont, SelectionColor and SelectedText. Setting the values for these
properties makes multiple colors in our richtextbox. I just tried to create it as a sample

Storing Database Connection Strings in App.Config

.NET Framework 2.0 added a separate configuration section in both Windows Application
configuration (App.config) and Web Application configuration (Web.config) file. Developers
can use these section to store connection string information such as a connection string
name or provider type etc. In the following tutorial I will show you how you can store and
retrieve connection string information in .NET Windows Application using C#.
The following code shows how you can store connection strings in App.config file.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<configuration>
<appSettings>
<add key="name" value="provider=microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0;data
source=E://invent.mdb"/>
</appSettings>
</configuration>
In the code behind you should import the following namespace:
using System.Configuration;
Then retreive the value from the App.Config by the following code:
string con = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["name"].ToString();

Draw a curve on form using Graphics class in C #.net.

In this simple Example you will learn that how to draw curve on the form using Graphics
class in C #.net.
You cant draw graphics on simple load event of the form. To create graphics on the form,
you must override the onpaint() function of the form.
The syntax of the onpaint() function is:
C#:
protected override void OnPaint (PaintEventArgs e)
{
}
.CS CODE:
private void graphics_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e)

{
System.Drawing.Pen pen = new
System.Drawing.Pen(System.Drawing.Color.Blue);
System.Drawing.Graphics obj;
obj = this.CreateGraphics();
System.Drawing.Point[] points = new Point[5];

points[0] = new Point(105, 75);
points[2] = new Point(40,30);
points[4] = new Point(1,95);
System.Drawing.SolidBrush brush = new
SolidBrush(Color.SpringGreen);
obj.DrawCurve(pen, points);
obj.Dispose();

Draw a polygon on form using Graphics class C #.net:

In this simple Example you will learn that how to draw polygon on the form using Graphics

In order to draw polygon on the form, firstly you should know the behavior of the form.
While playing with the graphics you must keep the following point in your mind:
You cant draw graphics on simple load event of the form. To create graphics on the form,
you must override the onpaint() function of the form.
Polygons draw function:

In order to draw a polygon, graphics class provides us a function named as drawPolygon().
It is an overloaded function. By using this function you can draw polygon on the form.
Depending on your requirement you can use any of the overloaded function. I use the
following:
This function takes two arguments. The first argument is the object of Pen class. Pen class
has the four overloaded constructor. You can use any of the constructors to initialize the
object of pen class.

Drawing Lines in C#
In this Article Describe how to Draw a line in C# using Graphic Object. Lines are drawn in
C# using the DrawLine() method of the Graphics Object. This method takes a preinstantiated Pen object and two sets of x and y co-ordinates (the start and end points of the
line) as arguments. For example, to draw a line from co-ordinates (10, 20) to (200, 250) on
our sample form.

Drawing Text with C#

Text is drawn onto a Graphics Object using the DrawText() method. The syntax for this
method is as follows:
graphicsobj.DrawString(string, font, brush, x, y);
The string argument specifies the text to be drawn. Font defines the font to be used to
display the text and requires the creation of a Font object. The brush object is similar to the
Pen object used to draw shapes with the exception that it specifies a fill pattern. Finally, the
x and y values specify the top left hand corner of the text.

Advantage of Remoting
Lease-Based Lifetime : Distributed garbage collection of objects is managed by a system
called 'leased based lifetime'. Each object has a
lease time, and when that time expires the object is disconnected from the .NET runtime
remoting infrastructure.
Net Remoting takes a Lease-base Lifetime of the object that is scaleable
Call Context : Additional information can be passed with every method call that is not part
of the argument with the help of SOAP
Header
Distributed Identities : If we pass a reference to a remote object, we will access the
same object using this reference.
Advantage over Web Services?
1. It works using purely Commmon Type System.
2. It supports high speed binary over tcp/ip communication.
Advantage over COM/DCOM?
1. It does not have extra interface language (IDL)
2. It Works using purely managed code
3. It's using Common Type System.. No Safearrays etc
Disadvantages
1. It is not an open standard like web services.
2. It is not as widespread and established ad DCOM.
3. Less support for transactions,load balancing compared with DCOM.
Caching in ASP.Net
Caching is one of the coolest features in Asp.net. Caching is a technique of persisting the
data in memory for immediate access to requesting program calls. Many in the developer
community consider caching as one of the features available to improve performance of Web
applications.
Output Caching
Output caching is used for pages and is also known as Page-level caching. This requires one
to specify Duration of cache and Attribute of caching.
Syntax: <%@ OutputCache Duration="60" VaryByParam="none" %>
The above syntax specifies the page be cached for duration of 60 seconds and the value
"none" for VaryByParam* attribute makes sure that there is a single cached page available
for this duration specified. if the first user requested page which contains item1 than the
second user will also see item1 even if he is requesting item2.
VaryByParam can take various "key" parameter names in query string.
Programmatic Page Caching
You can also use caching programmatically, meaning that you can change the value of cache
depending upon the tasks performed by the user. The Response.Cache class let's you access
the functionality to work with the cache object.
You can change the expiration time on the Cache
using the SetExpires method of the Response.Cache
class.Response.Cache.SetExpires(System.DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(10));
In the same way you can also use Response.Cache.VaryByParams to set the Params
programmatically.
Fragment Caching:
Fragment Caching refers to caching the sections of the page. These sections are most
commonly UserControls. Page fragment caching allows you to cache the small portion of the
page instead of caching the whole page.juuy
Let's see some examples of fragment caching and how it can be used.
@ OutputCache Duration="120" VaryByParam="CategoryID;SelectedID"
In the Page directive above we have cached CategoryID and SelectedID for 120 seconds.
Both of these are the query string parameters.
This means that if the first user request CategoryID = 2 and the second user request the
same CategoryID than the second user will recieve the contents from the cache object
instead of going to the database and pulling records.
@ OutputCache Duration="120" VaryByParam="none" VaryByControl="Category"
The VaryByControl attribute can only be used in fragment caching. You can use this to cache
the value of the controls. These controls can be any server controls like dropdownlist or
datagrid.
When using fragment caching you only need to put the cache directive in the user control
and not on the page.
How to Save Data in XML File

XML is designed to store and transport data. We can store data in a Xml file or Can use Xml
as a databse. Here is and example of how we can use xml file to store data in Xml file using
Asp.Net and C#.
Example: First Create Xml File Like This And Save Regis.xml
.CS Code:
ADD NameSpace in .CS File:
Using System.XML;
Code of Saving Data in XML File
protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{
XmlDocument xmldoc = new XmlDocument();
xmldoc.Load(Server.MapPath("regis.xml"));
XmlElement parentelement =
xmldoc.CreateElement("Comments");
XmlElement name = xmldoc.CreateElement("Name");
name.InnerText = TextBox1.Text;
XmlElement location =
xmldoc.CreateElement("location");
location.InnerText = TextBox2.Text;
XmlElement email = xmldoc.CreateElement("Email");
email.InnerText = TextBox3.Text;
XmlElement Description =
xmldoc.CreateElement("Description");
Description.InnerText = TextBox4.Text;
XmlElement date = xmldoc.CreateElement("Date");
date.InnerText = DateTime.Now.ToString();
parentelement.AppendChild(name);
parentelement.AppendChild(location);
parentelement.AppendChild(email);
parentelement.AppendChild(Description);
parentelement.AppendChild(date);
xmldoc.DocumentElement.AppendChild(parentelement);
xmldoc.Save(Server.MapPath("regis.xml"));
}

How to use XML In ASP.NET

.NET Framework has extensive support for working with XML Language. In the .NET
framework, the support for XML documents includes:
XML namespace:
XML designer
XML Web Server control
XML DOM support
XML Namespace
The System.Xml namespace provides a Large set of classes for processing XML data.There
Are more classes such as
XmlTextReader: It Provides forward only access to a stream of XML data and

checks whether or not an XML document is well formed. This class neither creates as
in-memory structure nor validates the XML document against the DTD. You can
declare an object of the XmlTextReader class by including the System.Xml
namespace in the application. The syntax to declare an object of this class is as
follows:
XmlTextReader reader = new XmlTextReader("XML1.xml");

It is important to note that the .xml file you pass as an argument to the constructor
of the XmlTextReader class exists in the \WINNT\System32 folder.
XmlTextWriter: Provides forward only way of generating streams or files containing
XML data that conforms to W3C XML 1.0. If you want to declare an object of the
XmlTextWriter class, you must include the System.Xml. The syntax to decare an
object of this class is as follows:
XmlTextWriter writer = new XmlTextWriter(Response.Output);
Here Response.Output represents an outgoing HTTP response stream to which you
want to send the XML data.
XmlDocument: It Provides navigating and edinting features of the nodes in an XML

document tree. XmlDocument is the most frequently used class in ASP.NET
applications that use XML documents. Syntax:
XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
XmlDataDocument: Provides support for XML and relational data in W3C XML DOM.
You can use this class with a dataset to provide relational and non-relational views of
the same set of data. This class is primarily used when you want to access the
functions of ADO.NET. The syntax to declare an object of this class is as follows:
DataSet ds=new DataSet();
XmlDataDocument doc=new XmlDocument(ds);
There are a number of reasons to use XmlDataDocument:
It gives you the freedom to work with any data by using the DOM.
There is synchronization between an XmlDatadocument and a DataSet, and any
changes in one will be reflected in the other.
When an XML document is loaded into an XmlDatadocument, the schema is

preserved.
How to Create XML Application in .Net:

Visual Studio .NET provides the XML designer that you can use to create and edit XML
documents. you need to perform the following steps by using the XML designer of Visual
Studio .NET:
1. Create a new ASP.NET Web application.
2. Select the Add New Item option and Choose Xml File
3. Select XML File as the template from the right pane. Specify the name as
"Registraion.xml" and click open.
4. The XML designer is displayed. The XML designer has automatically generated a line that
notifies the browser that the document being processed is an XML document, as displayed in
the figure:
Example :How to Display Xml File In Gridview

.CS Code:

ds.ReadXml(MapPath("Registration.xml"));
Code of Registration.xml file:

Remoting in ASP.NET
Remoting is one of the distributed technologies which is integrated in the .Net
framework.Remoting can be defined as a technology which facilitates communication
between Application Domains which could be on the same machine or on different machines
Remoting infrtastructure is supported by protocols such as TCP HTTP with XML or
SOAP/Binary as formatting serializers Also remoting objects can be called in 3 modes viz.
SingleCall Singleton ClientActivated Objects. It is a framework built into Common Language
Runtime (CLR) in order to provide developers classes to build distributed applications and
wide range of network services. It provides various features such as Object Passing, Proxy
Objects, Activation, Stateless and Stateful Object, Lease Based LifeTime and Hosting of
Objects in IIS. .NET Remoting is an enabler for application communication. It is a generic
system for different applications to use to communicate with one another. .NET objects are
exposed to remote processes, thus allowing inter process communication. The applications
can be located on the same computer, different computers on the same network, or even
computers across separate networks.
Architecture of Remoting
How does .NET Remoting work?

.NET remoting involves sending messages along channels. Two of the standard channels are
HTTP and TCP. TCP is intended for LANs only -HTTP can be used for LANs or WANs
(internet).Support it provided for multiple message serializarion formats.Examples are SOAP
(XML-based) and binary. By default, the HTTP channel uses SOAP (via the .NET runtime
Serialization SOAP Formatter), and theTCP channel uses binary (via the .NET runtime
Serialization BinaryFormatter).
Terms Used in Remoting
1.Proxy: To avoid conjunction in networking. Main work is task Distributing. There are two
type of proxy.
(1).Transparent proxy (There is no physical existence , Created by IIS server)
(2).Real Proxy (Physical Existence)
2.Channel: Channel provides the medium for transfer data from one location to another
location. There are two types of channel.
(1).TCP(work with Predefined root Connection oriented)
(2)HTTP (No need predefined root)
3.Formatters: Change the data in an appropriate format that it can traverse through
channels.
There are two types of formatters
(1) Binary
(2)SOAP(Simple Object Access Protocol)
4.Sink: Sink is used for security point of view. Before sending the data, the Data will be
encrypted. Some additional bit will be added with the data to secure the data.
There are two types of sink
(1) Envoy sink
(2) Server Context Sink
SingleCall: Each in coming request from a client is serviced by a new object. The objectis
thrown away when the request has finished. This (essentiallystateless) model can be made
stateful in the ASP.NET environment by using the ASP.NET state service to store application
or session state.
Singleton: All incoming requests from clients are processed by a single server object.
Client-activated object:This is the old stateful (D)COM model whereby the client receives
areference to the remote object and holds that reference (thus keepingthe remote object
alive) until it is finished with it.
Example :
1..class Library (Of which Remote Object will be created)
using System;
using System.Text;
namespace remoteclass
{
public class xx : MarshalByRefObject
{
public int sum(int a, int b)
{
return a * b;
}
}
}
2..Server Application (Console Application)
using System;
using System.Text;
using System.Runtime.Remoting;
using System.Runtime.Remoting.Channels;
using System.Runtime.Remoting.Channels.Tcp;
namespace remoteserver
{
class Program
{
{
TcpChannel ch = new TcpChannel(8085);
ChannelServices.RegisterChannel(ch);
RemotingConfiguration.RegisterWellKnownServiceType(typeof
(remoteclass.xx), "rahul", WellKnownObjectMode.Singleton);
Console.Write("Sever is Ready........");
Console.Read();
}
}
}
3..Client Application (Window Application)
using System;
using System.Text;
namespace remoteserver
{
class Program
{
{
TcpChannel ch = new TcpChannel(8085);
ChannelServices.RegisterChannel(ch);
RemotingConfiguration.RegisterWellKnownServiceType(typeof
(remoteclass.xx), "rahul", WellKnownObjectMode.Singleton);
Console.Write("Sever is Ready........");
Console.Read();
}
}
}using System;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Text;
{
{
//TcpChannel ch = new TcpChannel();
remoteclass.xx obj = new remoteclass.xx();
public Form1()
{
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)

{
//ChannelServices.RegisterChannel(ch);
obj = (remoteclass.xx)Activator.GetObject(typeof(remoteclass.xx),
"tcp://localhost:8085/rahul");
int x = Int32.Parse(textBox1.Text);
int y = Int32.Parse(textBox2.Text);
textBox3.Text = (obj.sum(x, y)).ToString();
}
}
}
Output:
1..Firstly Build Class Library
2..After This Run Console Application
Output Look like
3.. After this run Windows Application
Transaction in ASP.NET
A transaction is a group of operations combined into a logical unit of work that is either
guaranteed to be executed as a whole or rolled back. A transaction can be described to
cover the ACID properties for mission critical applications.
What are the ACID Properties?
Atomicity: All the steps an a transaction must execute in a single group.

Consistency: Consistency: Transaction should be consistence in the database i.e.
database after the transaction should be in consistence state, it should not damage
the DB.
Isolation: One transaction should not be affected by other transactions.
Durability: Transaction should be durable even after system crash.
