C# 4.0 Training Course

Overview

C# 4.0 training course teaches participants to program in C# 4.0 using Visual C# 2010.

Objectives

At the end of C# 4.0 Training course, participants will be able to:

• Convert a variable from one data type to another
• Work with dates and times
• Repeat blocks of code using looping statements
• Generate and test your own classes using the Class Designer and Object Test Bench tools
• Use methods in your classes
• Control how derived classes inherit from base classes
• Create classes containing arrays, adding support for indexers and enumerators
• Use delegate types to provide flexibility and type safety
• Create generic classes and methods
• Use Exception objects to determine what error has occurred
• Create your own custom collection classes
• Use anonymous types, lambda expressions, extension methods, object initializers, and implicit type declarations

Suggested Audience - This course is intended for developers who will use C# to write .NET Framework applications and who are new to the C# programming language. This includes those currently working with Visual Basic 6.0, C++ or Java

Duration - 2 Days

Prerequisites - All participants should have prior full-time programming experience.
