Description
Chapter 14
GarbageCollectionDemo
This project shows how to implement exception-safe
disposal of resources by using the Dispose pattern.
Chapter 15
Drawing Using Properties
AutomaticProperties
This project extends the application in the Drawing project
developed in Chapter 13 to encapsulate data in a class by
using properties.
This project shows how to create automatic properties for a
class and use them to initialize instances of the class.
Chapter 16
Indexers
This project uses two indexers: one to look up a person’s
phone number when given a name and the other to look
up a person’s name when given a phone number.
Chapter 17
BinaryTree
BuildTree
This solution shows you how to use generics to build a
type-safe structure that can contain elements of any type.
This project demonstrates how to use generics to implement
a type-safe method that can take parameters of any
type.
Chapter 18
Cards
This project updates the code from Chapter 10 to show
how to use collections to model hands of cards in a card
game.
Chapter 19
BinaryTree
IteratorBinaryTree
This project shows you how to implement the generic
IEnumerator interface to create an enumerator for the
generic Tree class.
This solution uses an iterator to generate an enumerator
for the generic Tree class.
Chapter 20
Delegates
This project shows how to decouple a method from the
application logic that invokes it by using a delegate. The
project is then extended to show how to use an event to
alert an object to a significant occurrence, and how to
catch an event and perform any processing required
Chapter 21
QueryBinaryTree
This project shows how to use LINQ queries to retrieve data
from a binary tree object.
