Arrays and Indexers
Visual C# 2005: Arrays and Indexers, covers how to define and work with single-dimension and multiple-dimension arrays It also shows how to use the Random classes to generate random numbers and how to use indexers to access data within a class using an array syntax and teaches you how to define and use arrays, describe how to work with the Random class, and identify how to use an indexer to access internal elements of a class.
Inheritance
Visual C# 2005: Inheritance, describes how to create hierarchies of classes using inheritance This course also covers how to use the public, protected and private access qualifiers to encapsulate class implementations and make code easier to maintain and teaches you how to define and use inheritance, define and use access qualifiers, and initialize inherited and non-inherited members of a class.
Virtual Methods and Polymorphism
Visual C# 2005: Virtual Methods and Polymorphism, describes how to fully implement polymorphic classes This course also covers how to create virtual methods that can be redefined by derived classes to create implementation-specific behaviors and teaches you how to use polymorphism to simplify code and enhance maintainability, describe and use C# features that support polymorphism, and describe and use static and dynamic binding as appropriate in code.
Formatting and Conversion
Visual C# 2005: Formatting and Conversion, describes how to format information for output This course also covers how to convert information among different data types and define implicit and explicit conversion operators to streamline that process and teaches you how to use the formatting features of C# to control the look of your output., use the methods of the System.Convert class to achieve data type conversions., and define your own data type conversions..
Exceptions
