C# crash-course

IntoTheEther

Hello Everyone,

I may have an interview coming up on Wednesday next and a couple of the topics I will more than likely be quizzed on are C# and VB.Net

I have only studied C so far in my university course and so in ordere to cover any eventualities I would like to understand the very basics of both of these. Does anyone have any ideas or any links to good, simple to understand readings or sites?

It would be greatly appreciated

Know your .net stuff

You'll be asked stuff like

What's the Global Assembly Cache?
What's a delegate?
What's the difference between an unsafe code block and a managed code block?
What's an auto-implemented property?
What's a parameterised contructor?
What's a virtual function? (c++ has the same)



Anything beyond that would be basic programming.

I'd say your best bet is to implement something you've created in C in a console app.

There's really not much difference between Java, C# and C++ when it comes to the basics.

+1 what The Hitcher said.

Here's a basic intro to the .Net Framework

Don't forget:

a)What's the difference between an abstract class and an interface?
b)What's the difference between an abstract class and a static class?
c)Can you give examples of when you'd use them.

More OOP than .Net specific but you should be able to answer them as they'll probably be asked.

Thanks a million for the pointers. I have plenty to get my teeth into so
