Programming in C#: Creating and Using Types

Course details

In addition to classes, there are a number of C# types including structs and enums. In this course, you'll learn about creating types, including structs, enums and classes. You'll also learn about consuming types, including converting value and ref types. The course also explores encapsulation, implementing a class hierarchy, using reflection, and managing the object life cycle. Finally, you'll learn about manipulation of strings in C#.
