C# Presentation: Trey Mack James Moore Osa Osar-Emokpae

This document summarizes a presentation about the C# programming language. It discusses C#'s history and development by Microsoft and Anders Hejlsberg. Key features of C# highlighted include its use of OOP, enumerators, operator overloading, Windows API invocation, structured error handling with try-catch blocks, delegates, and namespaces. Examples of C# code are provided to illustrate these features. The presentation concludes that C# will likely become widely used due to its flexibility and support for multiple languages through the .NET framework.

C# Presentation

Introduction
C#, pronounced “C Sharp,” is one of
the new languages in the .NET
framework being implemented by
Microsoft. All .NET languages
compile to a common byte code
(MSIL) making their integration into
programs written in different
languages easier.

C# Presentation, Spring 2003


History
 C
 C++
 Developed by Anders Hejlsberg
• Turbo Pascal
• Delphi
• Visual J++
 Released in 2001-2002

C# Presentation, Spring 2003


Previous Problems
 Memory Leaks
 Illegal Pointer References
 Overly Complex Multiple-Inheritance
 Static Linking

C# Presentation, Spring 2003


Resolutions
 Garbage Collection
 Threw out pointers
 Single inheritance with Interfaces
 Dynamic Linking
 Done 5 years ago in Java

C# Presentation, Spring 2003


What is C#

 Contrary to popular belief, C# is


not simply a clone of or
replacement for Java
 According to Anders Hejlsberg,
Microsoft’s Chief Architect, C# is a
derivation of C++, C, Java, Modula
2, and Smalltalk

C# Presentation, Spring 2003


What is C#

 C# combines the best features of


these languages and eradicates
some of their weaknesses

C# Presentation, Spring 2003


Why Choose C#?
 C# was designed from scratch with
the .net framework in mind
 C# combines the power of C and C+
+ with the productivity of Visual
Basic
 With its familiar syntax the transition
for Java and C++ programmers will
be an easy one
C# Presentation, Spring 2003
Why Choose C#?
C# is in sync with current web
standards and is easily integrated
with existing applications.
In today’s society where internet
programming is inevitable having a
language that already supports this
makes the job of the developer
easier.
C# Presentation, Spring 2003
Example of Code
The code looks a lot like Java

public class Example


{
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
foreach (string s in args)
{
System.Console.WriteLine(s);
}
}
}

C# Presentation, Spring 2003


Features
 OOP

C# Presentation, Spring 2003


OOP
C# is object oriented. Every class is a
subclass of an object. Everything is
an object, yes even primitives. This
makes generic programming easier.

Example:
int n = 3;
string s = n.ToString();
C# Presentation, Spring 2003
Features
 OOP
 Enumerators

C# Presentation, Spring 2003


Enumerators
Enumerators are a borrowed idea
from C/C++. This is a data type
consisting of a set of of named
integers.
Example:
enum Weekday {Mon, Tues, Wed, Thu,
Fri, Sat, Sun};

C# Presentation, Spring 2003


Features
 OOP
 Enumerators
 Operator Overloading

C# Presentation, Spring 2003


Operator Overloading
Operator Overloading is yet another
idea borrowed from c++. This
makes polymorphism easier with
custom data types.
Example:
Currency a, b, c;
c = a + b;

C# Presentation, Spring 2003


Features
 OOP
 Enumerators
 Operator Overloading
 Windows API Invocation

C# Presentation, Spring 2003


Windows API Invocation
C# was built with Windows in mind.
It was created to allow programmers
to create Windows application easily
through a wraparound API. Some
other technologies supported are
COM, COM+.

C# Presentation, Spring 2003


Features
 OOP
 Enumerators
 Operator Overloading
 Windows API Invocation
 Structured Error Handling

C# Presentation, Spring 2003


Structured Error Handling
C# introduces new error handling
techniques.
Try-catch blocks are used but with
more functionality.
To throw an object, it has to be a
subclass of System.Exception.

C# Presentation, Spring 2003


Try-Catch
try-catch blocks could be any of the following;

 try{ } catch(SomeException){ }
 try{ } catch(){ } //catches any kind of exception
 try{ } catch(){ } finally{ } //finally is always executed
 try{ } finally{ } //finally is always executed

C# Presentation, Spring 2003


Features
 OOP
 Enumerators
 Operator Overloading
 Windows API Invocation
 Structured Error Handling
 Delegates

C# Presentation, Spring 2003


Delegates
Delegates provide a template for a
single method.
Example:
 public delegate int ArithOp(int a, int b);
 …
 public int DoOp(ArithOp ar)
 { return ar(a, b); }

C# Presentation, Spring 2003


Features
 OOP
 Enumerators
 Operator Overloading
 Windows API Invocation
 Structured Error Handling
 Delegates
 Namespaces
C# Presentation, Spring 2003
Namespace
Namespace is a method of organizing
similar files together. This is similar in
some way to the java package idea.
Every program is either explicitly within a
namespace or in by default.
Example:
 namespace Project{ public class P1{} }
 public class P2{}

C# Presentation, Spring 2003


Namespace
To use a namespace, you just simply import
by using the keyword using.

Example:
using system;
public class P1{}

C# Presentation, Spring 2003


Future of C#
With C#’s flexibility and support for
many languages through the .NET
architecture it will definitely become
a widely used language in all
aspects of programming.
