Chapter 4: Doing More with C# and ASP.NET 103Doing More with C# andObject-Oriented ProgrammingThis chapter is actually a long footnote about using more sophisticated structures in C#,but you will need to look at a complete book on C#, such as C# 3.0: A Beginner’s Guide,to get into the kinds of details you will need to really employ OOP. You will find C# tobe an incredibly powerful language. If you already know that and feel frustrated by usingpartial classes instead of full-blown C# classes and OOP structures, I hope you have seenhow to use full classes in this chapter, and that you need not fear that you are limited topartial classes when using C# with ASP.NET 3.5. Everything you want to do with C# canbe fully accomplished by C# partial classes. What’s more, because the partial classes arewoven into ASP.NET, you can use all of the ASP.NET structures as well.For beginners who just want to learn how to get a back-end working for their sites usingASP.NET, fear not. Throughout this book, you will quickly see that the focus is on ASP.NETforms and controls you can use. This is most important when it comes to using databasesand SQL structures to move data into and out of stored data sources. Once you’ve got thebasics down, you’ll probably want to use the more powerful features of C# to develop yourASP.NET applications.
