Texts and Other Course Materials ◦ Programming C#, 4th Edition - Jesse Liberty (You may down this

version the book from Internet - It is your responsibility to download it or buy the book from http://www.amazon.com/Programming-C-Jesse-Liberty/dp/B00006AVR5)

◦ Beginning.C.Sharp.3.0.An.Introduction ◦ Internet Materials

This course contains material that

demands intense mental work and an

unusual amount of time commitment.

Student dedication is advised.

Instructor’s expectations: ◦ Homework. Read chapters prior to class from the textbook ◦ Expect 2-4 hours outside classroom activities; Reading ◦ Participate. Ask questions. Contribute. Actively participate

in the exercises. Consider the classroom to be a mental gymnasium where it’s ok to run, fall, and get up again

◦ Take notes. Why let any idea get away? Taking notes will help you concentrate and organize your

thoughts Notes allow you to take a refresher any time in the future.

◦ Enjoy yourself. Start relaxed and you’ll leave refreshed, inspired, and recharged Forget about what’s happening at home or at work This is your time. Get all you can out of this course and have a

good time ◦ Excessive Late assignments: 10% penalty from the grade

assigned for each day ( maximum 2 days)

6

Refer to the syllabus for details regarding ◦ Academic dishonesty

NOCHEATHING is allowed for all materials.

Given and taken person will be punished with less notes( 0)

◦ Attendance : 70% of Lectures

◦ Special attention for the class

Covers (most of) the C# language and some of the most useful .NET API’s.

Should not be your first programming class. ◦ Assume you know C++ and basic object-oriented

programming.

Requires (lots of) practice / reading. ◦ C# and .NET cannot be learned thoroughly in this

brief course.

7

Require ◦ do all assignments

Assignments are ◦ You will not be given a detailed grade

◦ Show me that you understand the concepts, and can write C# code

Do a project that related with technical EEE by using C# ( It is important to apply your knowledge to one problem)

Note : Pls dont just directly copy the code from Internet or somewhere as your project- If we know that is copied somewhere we will penalty its grade as 0 (zero)

8

Missing class sessions Failure to do homework Poor sleeping, drinking, eating, and physical exercise habits

Failure to follow textbook Failure to prioritize and budget time for study, work, and social activities

Copying other people’s homework, quiz, or exam (Read “Academic Integrity”)

9

To do well in this class, you have to

work really hard.

You need to be prepared to dedicate a

significant amount of time and

mental effort on this class.

1. What is Computer Programming?

2. Your First C# Program

3. What is .NET Framework?

4. What is Visual Studio?

5. What is MSDN Library?

Computer programming: creating a sequence of instructions to enable the computer to do something

Definition by Google

Define a task/problem

Plan your solution ◦ Find suitable algorithm to solve it

◦ Find suitable data structures to use

Write code

Fix program error (bugs)

Make your customer happy

15

= Specification

= Design

= Implementation

= Testing & Debugging

= Deployment

Wikipedia.org definition. ◦ Object-oriented.

◦ Primarily imperative or procedural.

LINQ adds some functional programming language capabilities.

◦ Structured (as opposed to monolithic).

◦ Strongly typed.

◦ ISO and ECMA standardized.

Sample C# program:

using System; class HelloCSharp { static void Main() { Console.WriteLine("Hello, C#"); } }

18

19

using System; class HelloCSharp { static void Main() { Console.WriteLine("Hello, C#"); } }

Include the standard

namespace "System"

Define a class called

"HelloCSharp"

Define the Main() method – the program entry

point

Print a text on the console by calling the method

"WriteLine" of the class "Console"

20

using System; class HelloCSharp { static void Main() { Console.WriteLine("Hello, C#"); } }

The { symbol should be alone on

a new line.

The block after the { symbol

should be indented by a

TAB.

The } symbol should be under

the corresponding {.

Class names should use PascalCase and start with a

CAPITAL letter.

21

using System ; class HelloCSharp { static void Main( ) { Console . WriteLine ("Hello, C#" ) ;Console. WriteLine ( "Hello again" ) ;}}

Such formatting makes the

source code unreadable.

Programming language

◦ A syntax that allow to give instructions to the computer

C# features:

◦ New cutting edge language

◦ Extremely powerful

◦ Easy to learn

◦ Easy to read and understand

◦ Object-oriented

Environment for execution of .NET programs

Powerful library of classes

Programming model

Common execution engine for many programming languages ◦ C#

◦ Visual Basic .NET

◦ Managed C++

◦ ... and many others

25

Operating System (OS)

Common Language Runtime (CLR)

Base Class Library (BCL)

ADO.NET, LINQ and XML (Data Tier)

WCF and WWF (Communication and Workflow Tier)

ASP.NET Web Forms, MVC, AJAX Mobile Internet Toolkit

Windows Forms

WPF Silverlight

C# C++ VB.NET J# F# JScript Perl Delphi …

Building blocks of .NET Framework

26

FCL

CLR

Common Language Runtime (CLR) ◦ Managed execution environment

Executes .NET applications

Controls the execution process

◦ Automatic memory management (garbage collection)

◦ Programming languages integration

◦ Multiple versions support for assemblies

◦ Integrated type safety and security

27

CLR

Framework Class Library (FCL)

◦ Provides basic functionality to developers:

Console applications

WPF and Silverlight rich-media applications

Windows Forms GUI applications

Web applications (dynamic Web sites)

Web services, communication and workflow

Server & desktop applications

Applications for mobile devices

28

29

Visual Studio – Integrated Development Environment (IDE)

Development tool that helps us to: ◦ Write code

◦ Design user interface

◦ Compile code

◦ Execute / test / debug applications

◦ Browse the help

◦ Manage project's files

30

Single tool for:

◦ Writing code in many languages (C#, VB, …)

◦ Using different technologies (Web, WPF, …)

◦ For different platforms (.NET CF, Silverlight, …)

Full integration of most development activities (coding, compiling, testing, debugging, deployment, version control, ...)

Very easy to use!

32

Compiling, Running and Debugging C# Programs

33

1. File New Project ... 2. Choose C# console application 3. Choose project directory and name

34

4. Visual Studio creates some source code for you

35

Namespace

not

required

Class name

should be changed

Some imports

are not

required

The process of compiling includes: ◦ Syntactic checks

◦ Type safety checks

◦ Translation of the source code to lower level language (MSIL)

◦ Creating of executable files (assemblies)

You can start compilation by ◦ Using Build->Build Solution/Project

◦ Pressing [F6] or [Shift+Ctrl+B]

36

The process of running application includes:

◦ Compiling (if project not compiled)

◦ Starting the application

You can run application by:

◦ Using Debug->Start menu

◦ By pressing [F5] or [Ctrl+F5]

* NOTE: Not all types of projects are able to be started!

37

The process of debugging application includes: ◦ Spotting an error

◦ Finding the lines of code that cause the error

◦ Fixing the code

◦ Testing to check if the error is gone and no errors are introduced

Iterative and continuous process

38

Visual Studio has built-in debugger

It provides: ◦ Breakpoints

◦ Ability to trace the code execution

◦ Ability to inspect variables at runtime

39

Complete documentation of all classes and their functionality ◦ With descriptions of all methods, properties, events,

etc.

◦ With code examples
