PARTIAL CLASS
• A partial class is a special feature of C#.
• It provides a special ability to implement the functionality of a
single class into multiple files and all these files are combined into
a single class file when the application is compiled.
• A partial class is created by using a partial keyword.
• The partial keyword can also be used to split a struct or an
interface over two or more files.
• We use partial class when code of a class contains so many lines to
manage.
ADVANTAGES OF PARTIAL
CLASS
• Multiple developers can work simultaneously with a single class in
separate files.
• When working on large projects, spreading a class over separate
files allows programmers to work on it simultaneously.
• Visual Studio uses partial classes to separate, automatically
generated system code from the developer’s code. For Example
when you add a webform, two .CS files are generated.
• 1. WebForm1.aspx.cs – Contains the developer code.
• 2. WebForm1.aspx.designer.cs – Contains the system generated
code. For example, declarations for the controls that you drag and
drop on the webform

RULES FOR PARTIAL CLASS
• All the parts spread across different files, must use the partial
keyword.
• All the partial class definitions must be in the same assembly and
namespace.
• All the parts must have the same accessibility like public or private,
etc.
• If any part is declared abstract then the whole class is declared of
the abstract type.
• If any part is declared sealed then the whole class is declared of
the sealed type.
RULES FOR PARTIAL CLASS
• If any of the parts inherit a class, then the entire type inherits the
class.
• C# does not support multiple class inheritance. Different parts of
the partial class, must not specify different base classes.
• Different parts of the partial class can specify different base
interfaces.
• Any member that are declared in a partial definition are available
to all of the other parts of the partial class.
