What is Encapsulation?

Encapsulation means that a group of related properties, methods, and other members treated as a single unit or object. This hides the data from being accessed from outside a class directly, only through the functions inside the class is able to access the information.

What is difference between class and object?

Class is a blue print or some template and object is a building created from this blue print or template. Class is a more abstract definition of something and object is the real thing that belongs to that class.
For example
Class:

class Bike {
       
    }

Object:


Bike myObject = new Bike();

What is an Object in Object Oriented Programming?

Objects are usable instances of classes. Using the blue print analogy, a class is a blueprint and object is building made from that blue print. Classes describe the type of objects.
For example we have a class (say Bike)

class Bike {
       
    }

Then we create object of this class as

Bike myObject = new Bike();

Objects share two characteristic. They have state and behavior. An object stores its state in fields (variables) and exposes its behavior through methods.
Software objects are conceptually similar to real world objects. For example we have real world object Dog.
Dog has state name, color, breed, hungry and behavior barking, fetching, wagging tail etc.
We represent it in software world as

class Dog
    {
        string name;
        string color;
        string breed;
        string hungry;
        void Barking()
        {  
            // function definition
        }
        void Fetching()
        {
            // function definition
        }
        void Waggingtail()
        {
            // function definition
        }
    }

Dog objDog = new Dog();

What is Class?

A class is the blue print from where individual objects are created.  For example in real world, we may find many individual objects of same kind. There may be thousands of bikes in existence, all of the same make and model. Each bike was built from the same set of blueprints and therefore contains the same component. In object oriented terms, we say that our bike is an instance of the class of objects known as bikes.

The following Bike class is one of implementation of a bike.

class Bike {
        int Speed = 0;
        int Gear = 0;
        void SpeedUp(int increment)
        {
            Speed += increment;
        }
        void ApplyBreakes(int decrement)
        {
            Speed -= decrement;
        }
    }

Simple example of class is

class SampleClass {
   

    }

What is Object Oriented Programming?

Object oriented programming is a programming language model organized around objects rather than action, and data rather than logic. Objects have both data fields and associated procedures called methods. Objects are instances of classes and used to interact with one another to design applications and computer programs.

Key Concepts of Entity Data Model

The Entity Data Model (EDM) uses three key concepts to describe the structure of data: entity type, association type, and property. These are the most important concepts in describing the structure of data in any implementation of the EDM.
Entity Type
In a conceptual model, An entity represents a specific object (such as a specific customer or order). Each entity must have a unique entity key within an entity set.
Association
In a conceptual model, an association represents a relationship between two entity types (such as Customer and Order).
Property
Entity types contains properties that define the structure and characteristics of Entities. For example, a Customer entity type may have properties such as CustomerId, Name, and Address.

What are Advantages and Disadvantages of Entity Framework

There are several advantages and disadvantages of using Entity Framework.
Advantages

  • No need to write the Data access layer code. Entire Data access layer code will be generated by the Entity  Designer (.edmx file). 
  • For small applications, no need to write Stored procedures for the CRUD opeartions (Insert,Update,Delete and modify). The Designer will provide the implementation. Developer need to consume those methods.
  • Reduces development effort and Unit Testing effort.
Disadvantages
  • As the queries are dynamic there might be a hit in the performance of the application.

What is Microsoft ADO.NET Entity Framework

The Microsoft ADO.NET Entity Framework (EF) is an Object/Relational Mapping (ORM) framework that enables developers to work with relational data as domain-specific objects, eliminating the need for most of the data access plumbing code that developers usually need to write.

The Entity Framework works with Microsoft SQL Server and 3rd party databases through extended ADO.NET Data Providers, providing a common query language against different relational databases through either LINQ to Entities or Entity SQL.

Set and Get Textbox Value inside ascx Control from ASP.NET Page

Setting and getting Textbox value inside user control (ascx control) from aspx page is a usual practice in both simple and complex projects.
In this tutorial, we will
  • Create New User Control.
  • Add User Control in aspx Page.
  • Set Textbox Value inside User Control
  • Get Textbox value From User Control

Create New User Control

  1. Right Click on Project, Click Add New Item.
  2. A pop up window will be opened.
  3. Select Web User Control from list, change its Name to 'myControl' and click Add
  4. Two files will be added with name 'myControl.ascx' and 'myControl.ascx.cs'
Replace the code in 'myControl.ascx' file with following code.
<%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="myControll.ascx.cs" Inherits="Controls_myControll" %>
<table>
    <tr>
        <td>
            Name :
        </td>
        <td>
            <asp:TextBox ID="txtName" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
        </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>
            Age :
        </td>
        <td>
            <asp:TextBox ID="txtAge" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
        </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>
            Profession :
        </td>
        <td>
            <asp:TextBox ID="txtProfession" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
        </td>
    </tr>
</table>

Add following code in 'myControl.ascx.cs' File.
    public string Name
    {
        get { return txtName.Text.ToString(); }
        set { txtName.Text = value; }
    }
    public string Age
    {
        get { return txtAge.Text.ToString(); }
        set { txtAge.Text = value; }
    }
    public string Profession
    {
        get { return txtProfession.Text.ToString(); }
        set { txtProfession.Text = value; }

    }

Add User Control in aspx Page

  1. Create New aspx Page with name ‘PageForWebControl’.
  2. Open Design View and drag and drop user control on it. Some code will be added in 'PageForWebControl.aspx' page automatically. 
Page will look like this.
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="PageForWebControl.aspx.cs" Inherits="PageForWebControl" %>

<%@ Register src="Controls/myControll.ascx" tagname="myControll" tagprefix="uc1" %>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
    <title></title>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>   
        <uc1:myControll ID="myControll1" runat="server" />   
    </div>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

Set Textbox Value inside User Control

Add following code snippet in Page Load Event of 'PageForWebControl.aspx' page to set Values of Textbox  inside User Control.
// Setting Values in ASCX Control
        myControll1.Name = "Waqas Ali";
        myControll1.Age = "24";
        myControll1.Profession = "Computer Scientist";

Get Textbox value From User Control

Add following code snippet in Page Load Event of PageForWebControl.aspx page to get values of Textbox from User Control.
        string _name = string.Empty;
        int _age = 0;
        string _profession = string.Empty;
// Getting Values from ASCX Control
        _name = myControll1.Name;
        _age = Convert.ToInt32(myControll1.Age);
        _profession = myControll1.Profession;

Now you are all done. Run Project and test your values.

Difference Between string and String in C#.NET

There is no different between string and String (System.String). string is an alias for System.String in C#.Net.
They compile to the same code, so no difference at execution time. The complete list of aliases in C#.Net is

object:System.Object 
string:System.String
bool:System.Boolean
byte:System.Byte
sbyte:System.SByte
short:System.Int16
ushort:System.UInt16
int:System.Int32
uint:System.UInt32
