C# 7 and .NET Core 2.0 Blueprints

By: Dirk Strauss, Jas Rademeyer

Overview of this book

.NET Core is a general purpose, modular, cross-platform, and open source implementation of .NET. With the latest release of .NET Core, many more APIs are expected to show up, which will make APIs consistent across .Net Framework, .NET Core, and Xamarin. This step-by-step guide will teach you the essential .NET Core and C# concepts with the help of real-world projects. The book starts with a brief introduction to the latest features of C# 7 and .NET Core 2.0 before moving on to explain how C# 7 can be implemented using the object-oriented paradigm. You'll learn to work with relational data using Entity Framework and see how to use ASP.NET Core practically. This book will show you how .NET Core allows the creations of cross-platform applications. You'll also learn about SignalR to add real-time functionality to your application. Then you will see how to use MongoDB and how to implement MongoDB into your applications. You'll learn about serverless computing and OAuth concepts, along with running ASP.NET Core applications with Docker Compose. This project-based guide uses practical applications to demonstrate these concepts. By the end of the book, you'll be proficient in developing applications using .NET Core 2.0.

Classes in Cricket Score Tracker


Taking what we have already learned about the four pillars of OOP, we will have a look at the areas in our application that make use of these concepts to provide the building blocks of Cricket Score Tracker.

Abstract classes

Open up the BaseClasses folder and double click on the Player.cs file. You will see the following code:

namespace cricketScoreTrack.BaseClasses 
{ 
    public abstract class Player 
    { 
        public abstract string FirstName { get; set; } 
        public abstract string LastName { get; set; } 
        public abstract int Age { get; set; } 
        public abstract string Bio { get; set; } 
    } 
} 

This is our abstract class. The abstract modifier in the class declaration and the properties tells us that this thing we are going to modify has missing or incomplete implementation. It, therefore, is only intended for use as a base class. Any member marked as abstract must be implemented by classes that are derived from our Player abstract...
