Var vs Dynamic in c#

Implicitly Typed Local Variables – var are those variables which are declared without specifying the .NET type explicitly. In implicitly typed variable, the type of the variable is automatically deduced at compile time by the compiler from the value used to initialize the variable. The implicitly typed variable concept is introduced in C# 3.0. The implicitly typed variable is not designed to replace the normal variable declaration, it is designed to handle some special-case situation like LINQ(Language-Integrated Query). 


In C# 4.0, a new type is introduced that is known as a dynamic type. It is used to avoid the compile-time type checking. The compiler does not check the type of the dynamic type variable at compile time, instead of this, the compiler gets the type at the run time. The dynamic type variable is created using dynamic keyword.

C# | Association, Aggregation and Composition

Image
Association, Aggregation, and Composition are terms that represent relationships among objects. They are very basic stuff of Object-Oriented Programming. Association Association is a relationship among the objects. Association is "*a*" relationship among objects. In Association, the relationship among the objects determines what an object instance can cause another to perform an action on its behalf. We can also say that an association defines the multiplicity among the objects. We can define a one-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-one and many-to-many relationship among objects. Association is a more general term to define a relationship among objects. Association means that an object "uses" another object. For example, Managers and Employees, multiple employees may be associated with a single manager and a single employee may be associated with multiple managers. Aggregation Aggregation is a special type of Association. Aggregation is "*the*" relationship amo...

C# Keywords

C# contains reserved words that have special meaning for the compiler these reserved words are called "keywords" keywords can't be used as identifier (name of variable, class, interface etc) there are 11 types of keywords. 1. Modifier Keywords  2. Access Modifier Keywords  3. Statement Keywords  4. Method Parameter Keywords  5. Namespace Keywords  6. Operator Keywords  7. Access Keywords  8. Literal Keywords  9. Type Keywords  10. Contextual Keywords  11. Query Keywords  1. Modifier Keywords : are the specific keywords that indicates which can modify types and type members. Example - Abstract, async, const, event, extern, new, override, partial, read-only, sealed, static, unsafe, virtual and volatile.  2. Access Modifier Keywords: are applied to the declaration of the class, methods, properties, fields and other member. they define the accessibility of the class and its members. there are basic four type of Access Modifier...

C# Extension Method

Image
It is a new feature that has been added in C# 3.0 which allows us to add new methods into a class without editing the source code of the class i.e. if a class consists of a set of members in it and in the future if you want to add new methods into the class, you can add those methods without making any changes to the source code of the class. Extension methods can be used as an approach to extending the functionality of a class in the future if the source code of the class is not available or we don’t have any permission in making changes to the class. Before extension methods, inheritance is an approach that is used for extending the functionality of a class i.e. if we want to add any new members to an existing class without making a modification to the class, we will define a child class to that existing class and then we add new members in the child class. In the case of an extension method, we will extend the functionality of an existing class. In this case, we will create a new cl...
