By: Tom Owsiak

Overview of this book

Beginning C# 7 Hands-On – Advanced Language Features assumes that you’ve mastered the basic elements of the C# language and that you're now ready to learn the more advanced C# language and syntax, line by line, in a working Visual Studio environment. You'll learn how to code advanced C# language topics including generics, lambda expressions, and anonymous methods. You'll learn to use query syntax to construct queries and deploy queries that perform aggregation functions. Work with C# and SQL Server 2017 to perform complex joins and stored procedures. Explore advanced file access methods, and see how to serialize and deserialize objects – all by writing working lines of code that you can run within Visual Studio. This book is designed for beginner C# developers who have mastered the basics now, and anyone who needs a fast reference to using advanced C# language features in practical coding examples. You'll also take a look at C# through web programming with web forms. By the time you’ve finished this book, you’ll know all the critical advanced elements of the C# language and how to program everything from C# generics to XML, LINQ, and your first full MVC web applications. These are the advanced building blocks that you can then combine to exploit the full power of the C# programming language, line by line.

Preface

Adding a button to Default.aspx


Now, let's take a look at Default.aspx. The only thing we really need to do at this time is to add a Button control. For this, go to Toolbox and grab a Button control from there. Drag and drop it below the line beginning with <form id=... (you can delete the <div> lines, as we won't be needing them). Change the text on the Button control to, for example, Display Values. Your complete Default.aspx file should look like the one shown in Figure 1.1.2:

Now, go to the Design view. Our very simple interface is shown in Figure 1.1.3:
