MOC 50222A From C# 2.0 to C# 3.0

This one-day instructor-led course provides students with the knowledge and skills to develop applications in the .NET Framework 3.5 using the C# 3.0 programming language.

This course serves as a bridge for proficient .NET Framework developers with C# 2.0 programming experience to the new features of the C# 3.0 programming language.

Module 1: From C# 2.0 to C# 3.0

This module explains how to apply C# 3.0 language features in real applications, and

provides the motivation for each feature, categorizing them into four distinct groups:

Developer productivity features, Extensibility features, Functional programming

features and LINQ support features.

Lessons

· Developer Productivity Features – Implicit typing, Object and collection initializes, Automatic properties, Anonymous types.

· Extensibility Features – Extension methods, Partial methods.

· Functional Programming Features – Lambda expressions, Expression trees.

· LINQ Support Features – An overview of language query operators.

Lab : Extension Methods and IEnumerable

· ForEach extension method for IEnumerable.

· MaxElement extension method for IEnumerable.

Lab : Extension Methods and Anonymous Types

· Extension method for turning anonymous types into tuples.

After completing this module, students will be able to:

· Extend existing types using extension methods.

· Use lambda expressions and expression trees for simple functions.

· Initialize collections and objects and use automatic properties and anonymous types to facilitate productivity.
