C# Class and Object

To work with objects, we need to perform the following activities:

 create a class
 create objects from the class

Class is the blueprint for the object.

Create a class in C#

We use the class keyword to create an object. For example,


class ClassName {

Here, we have created a class named ClassName. A class can contain

 fields - variables to store data


 methods - functions to perform specific tasks

Let's see an example,


class Dog {

//field
string breed;

//method
public void bark() {

In the above example,

 Dog - class name


 breed - field
 bark() - method

Note: In C#, fields and methods inside a class are called members of a class.

C# Objects

An object is an instance of a class. Suppose, we have a class called Dog.

Bulldog, German Shepherd, Pug are objects of the class.

Creating an Object of a class

In C#, here's how we create an object of the class.


ClassName obj = new ClassName();
Here, we have used the new keyword to create an object of the class. And, obj is the name of the
object. Now, let us create an object from the Dog class.

Dog bullDog = new Dog();

Now, the bullDog object can access the fields and methods of the Dog class.

Access Class Members using Object

We use the name of objects along with the “.” operator to access members of a class.
For example,

using System;

namespace ClassObject {

class Dog {
string breed;

public void bark() {


Console.WriteLine("Bark Bark !!");

static void Main(string[] args) {

// create Dog object


Dog bullDog = new Dog();

// access breed of the Dog


bullDog.breed = "Bull Dog";
Console.WriteLine(bullDog.breed);

// access method of the Dog


bullDog.bark();

Console.ReadLine();

}
}
}

Output:

Bull Dog
Bark Bark !!

In the above program, we have created an object named bullDog from the Dog class. Notice that
we have used the object name and the . (dot operator) to access the breed field and the bark()
method.

Creating Multiple Objects of a Class

We can create multiple objects from the same class. For example,
using System;

namespace ClassObject {

class Employee {

string department;

static void Main(string[] args) {

// create Employee object


Employee sheeran = new Employee();

// set department for sheeran


sheeran.department = "Development";
Console.WriteLine("Sheeran: " + sheeran.department);

// create second object of Employee


Employee taylor = new Employee();

// set department for taylor


taylor.department = "Content Writing";
Console.WriteLine("Taylor: " + taylor.department);

Console.ReadLine();
}
}
}

Output:

Sheeran: Development
Taylor: Content Writing

Creating objects in a different class

In C#, we can also create an object of a class in another class. For example,

namespace ClassObject {

class Employee {
public string name;

public void work(string work) {


Console.WriteLine("Work: " + work);

}
}

class EmployeeDrive {
static void Main(string[] args) {

// create Employee object


Employee e1= new Employee();

Console.WriteLine("Employee 1");

// set name of the Employee


e1.name="Gloria";
Console.WriteLine("Name: " + e1.name);
//call method of the Employee
e1.work("Coding");

Console.ReadLine();

}
}
}

Output
Employee 1
Name: Gloria
Work: Coding
