Assembly is a collection of code files, types and resources. It is a unit of deployment, version control and reuse. Assembly is basically collection of exe or dll files which are generated upon successful compilation of the .Net application
Delegates are basically function pointers. A delegate is a class that can hold a reference to a method. Unlike other classes, a delegate class has a signature, and it can hold references only to methods that match its signature. A delegate is thus equivalent to a type-safe function pointer or… Continue reading
YES: Because all the configuration settings will be available under MACHINE.CONFIG file, by default these settings will be applied to all asp.net applications. The MACHINE.CONFIG file will be automatically loaded when .net framework is installed. It is something like if we had not defined the web.config the application will take… Continue reading
CLS is the collection of the rules and constraints that every language (that seeks to achieve .NET compatibility) must follow. It is a subsection of CTS and it specifies how it shares and extends one another libraries.
MSIL (Microsoft Intermediate Language) is a powerful feature used by .NET to execute the user’s code. As DOTNET support multiple language usage for code development and cross-language usability, all the code of a solution is eventually converted in to MSIL (a syntax code which is understood by CLR) and then… Continue reading
StringBuilder is more efficient in the cases, where a lot of manipulation is done to the text. Strings are immutable, so each time it’s being operated on, a new instance is created.
What is a Delegate? A delegate is a special kind of object that holds a reference to a method. The delegate can be called as if it were any other method. However, when called, the underlying referenced method is executed. This simple layer of abstraction is useful because unlike a… Continue reading
What is an Indexer? Most C# programmers first use an indexer when working with an array. An array is used to store a number of similar, related variables under the same name, with each variable accessed using an index number provided in square brackets. For example: thirdItem = items[3]; Often… Continue reading
Operator Overloading So far in this tutorial we have created classes to represent real-world objects complete with their appropriate methods and properties. These objects have not required the implementation of arithmetic operators as this type of functionality was not appropriate. In this article, we will create a class that does… Continue reading
What do you know about .NET assemblies? Assemblies are the smallest units of versioning and deployment in the .NET application. Assemblies are also the building blocks for programs such as Web services, Windows services, serviced components, and .NET remoting applications. What’s the difference between private and shared assembly? Private assembly… Continue reading
