Hands-On Object-Oriented Programming with C#

By: Raihan Taher

Overview of this book

Object-oriented programming (OOP) is a programming paradigm organized around objects rather than actions, and data rather than logic. With the latest release of C#, you can look forward to new additions that improve object-oriented programming. This book will get you up to speed with OOP in C# in an engaging and interactive way. The book starts off by introducing you to C# language essentials and explaining OOP concepts through simple programs. You will then go on to learn how to use classes, interfacesm and properties to write pure OOP code in your applications. You will broaden your understanding of OOP further as you delve into some of the advanced features of the language, such as using events, delegates, and generics. Next, you will learn the secrets of writing good code by following design patterns and design principles. You'll also understand problem statements with their solutions and learn how to work with databases with the help of ADO.NET. Further on, you'll discover a chapter dedicated to the Git version control system. As you approach the conclusion, you'll be able to work through OOP-specific interview questions and understand how to tackle them. By the end of this book, you will have a good understanding of OOP with C# and be able to take your skills to the next level.

It doesn't matter what types of exception were thrown or whether or not they were handled, the finally block will be executed. Now you may ask, "Why do we need this finally block? If there is any exception in our program, we will handle it with the catch block! Can't we write the code inside the catch block instead of the finally block?"

Yes, you can, but what happens if an exception was thrown but the catch block wasn't triggered? This would mean that the code inside the catch block will not get executed. For this reason, the finally block is...
