This is an archive of an early set of lectures on the then new Microsoft .NET Framework and the C# programming language. An understanding of programming and familiarity with a C or Java like language is assumed. An updated version of this introduction is used internally.
The lectures are largely based on simple code examples showing the use of all C# keywords and language features.
It should be noted that the C# language was extended in 2003 to include additional features, including Generics -- the slides do not cover these new features.
The slide sets are best viewed as a slideshow -- after selecting the lecture, click on the projection screen icon at the bottom right corner of the screen once the first slide is displayed.

-
The first lecture sets the scene by describing the fundamentals of the Microsoft .NET Framework. A range of issues from the unified type system to security and garbage collection are covered.This should be covered before looking at any of the other material.
-
The first lecture on C# covers the type system, boxing and un-boxing, classes and instances, variables and constants, properties, and the basic control structures.
-
This lecture looks at exception handling, namespaces, polymorphism, collections, arrays, structures, enumerators and security access rights.
-
We continue by looking at Indexing, overloading and parameter passing using in, out and ref. The lecture then moves on to discuss safe type casting and manipulation using is a and as. Finally expression evaluation is considered.
-
In the final lecture on C# we discuss accessing existing libraries/ DLLs, delegates, events, threads, garbage collection, networking and web services, accessing databases using SQL and ADO, datasets, dataviews and datagrids.
