Programming in C#

The book is broadly divided into three parts- introduction to the .NET Framework and C# and procedural programming, object-oriented programming concepts, and component object model (COM) and advanced topics. Part one, beginning with an introduction to the .NET Framework and C#, goes on to discuss data types and operators, conditional statements, loops, collections, strings, arrays, structure and enumerations providing a thorough coverage of procedural programming concepts. The second part, object-oriented programming, starts with the fundamentals of classes and objects, inheritance, interfaces and then discusses topics such as operator overloading, error and exception handling, generics, and threads. The third part deals with topics related to COM, namely, Windows Form and controls, menus and common dialogs, and also advanced topics such as data connectivity, ASP.NET, networking, deployment, and Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) and Windows Communication Foundation (WCF).

Each chapter includes a variety of end-chapter exercises in the form of MCQs with answers, review questions, and programming exercises to help readers test their knowledge.
