History

Builds on legacy from• C/C++ tradition -> new programming language C#• Java tradition : many ideas borrowed

• runtime environment : virtual machine• platform/language abstraction• guarded execution environment

• garbage collection• single rooted hierarchy• ...

Takes software development one step further towardscomponent based design

component based design/programming

C/PASCAL

C++

JAVA

C#/.NET

component support possibleBUT NOT built into the language- templates- deployment descriptors

COM/COM+CORBA component model

5

C# features : component orientedModern large-scale systems are component based

Properties

get/set

event based communication

support to annotate component for- deployment- configuration at design and/or runtime- component versioning- documentation

6

C# features : OO paradigm

supports all typical OO mechanisms• encapsulation• inheritance• polymorphism• interface based programming

C++ legacy (NOT supported in Java)• support for operator overloading• user defined type conversions• rectangular arrays• pass-by-reference

7

C# features : Excution model

NO own runtime library- uses .NET library (redesign of MS-library)

(implemented in C#)Compiles to intermediary language

(CIL - Common Intermediate Language)Executed by virtual machine

(CLR – Common Language Runtime)- memory management through garbage collection- guarded execution (e.g. array bounds guarding)- JIT compilation

.NET execution model

Platform AND language portabilityCLR can exploit processor/platform specific optimizationsSupported languages :

C#, J#, VB.NET, JScript, Microsoft IL, Managed Extensions for C++Supplied by 3rd parties :

COBOL, Eiffel, Haskell, Forth, Scheme, Smalltalk, Pascal, ...

CLR

CompilerApplication Code in “A Language”

CIL

.NET : Common Type System

Cross language type system, allowing- type safety- cross language integration- execution services (garbage collection, JIT, exceptions, ...)

Defines rules to define types, irrespective of source languageAll types eventually mapped to CTS-types

e.g. cross language inheritanceJ# class inherits from C# class

Minimum subset for language to be supported by .NET :CLS – Common Language Specification- CLS-compliant language = “CLS consumer”- if more than CLS : “CLS extender”

C#= both CLS consumer and extender

11

.NET : FCL categoriescomprises

- > 3500 classes- > 1 000 000 lines of code

• core functions• basic datatypes, collections• IO (network, console, file)• calls to runtime services

• database interaction• transactions• consuming/producing XML• manipulation of tables

• web-based applications (thin clients)

• desktop applications (thick clients)

• SOAP-based XML web services

C# and .NET

1. Introduction 2. C# versus Java : highlights3. C# data types4. Defining custom data types

14

C# - Java : common approaches

Both intended as improvement to C++• Compilation to machine independent language, managed execution• Garbage Collection, no pointers

(C# allows pointer usage in special “unsafe” code sections)• Reflection API• No header files, no problems with circular (type) references• Single rooted hierarchy, objects allocated on the heap• Thread support by object-level lock• Multiple extension of interfaces, single inheritance for classes• Inner classes (closure instead of nested class)• Simple inheritance rules (no inheritance modifiers)• Everything is in a class (no global data, no global functions)• Arrays, strings : bounds checked at execution time• Systematic usage of “.” (instead of “->” and “::”)• Keywords for null pointer (null) and boolean type (boolean/bool)• Guaranteed initialization• if-statement controlled by boolean (instead of integer)• Finally-clause in try-catch blocks

15

PropertiesC# : special support for getters/settersJava : implied by coding convention (template or “design pattern”)

Property int min Java style :

public int getMin() {return min;}public void setMin(int m) {min=m;}

C# style :public int Min {

get {return min;}set {min=value;}

}// value : implicit variable used when// calling setter method

- getter/setter grouped together- encourages to think in terms of properties

16

IndexerMeans to index underlying datastructureJava style :

public class Bookshop {private Book[] books;// ...public void setBooks(int i,Book b) {

if(b!=null) books[i]=b;}public Book getBooks(int i) {return books[i];}

}C# style :

public class Bookshop {

private Book[] books;// ...public Book this[int i]{

get {return books[i];}set {if(value!=null) books[i]=value;}

} }// ...Bookshop standaard=new Bookshop();standaard[10]=new Book(“Harry Potter”);

17

Event handling

Delegates used to handle events- Java equivalent : inner class object- C/C++ equivalent : function pointer

Direct support in C# for events

public delegate void TempChangeHandler(double t,ref bool cancel);public class Thermometer {

public event TempChangeHandler TempChange;double temp;public double Temperature{

get{return temp;}set{if(temp!=value) {

bool cancel=false;TempChange(value,ref cancel); // fire eventif(!cancel) temp=value;

}

}}

18

Event handling

public class TempController {public TempController(Thermometer tm) {

tm.TempChange+=new TempChangeHandler(tm_TempChange);}private void tm_TempChange(double t,ref bool cancel) {

if(t>100) {cancel=true;System.Console.WriteLine(

"Way too hot : WRONG VALUE");} else {

System.Console.WriteLine("New temperature registered.");

}

}

}

19

Event handling

public class Test {public static void Main() {

Thermometer term=new Thermometer();TempController tc=new TempController(term);term.Temperature=30;Console.WriteLine("Temp = {0}",term.Temperature);term.Temperature=120;Console.WriteLine("Temp = {0}",term.Temperature);

}}

20

Enummerations

Standard Java approachpublic class Period {

public final static int DAILY=1;public final static int WEEKLY=2;public final static int MONTHLY=3;public final static int YEARLY=4;

}

// ...int publicationPeriod=Period.DAILY;// PROBLEM : does not prevent int publicationPeriod=12; ???

C# approachpublic enum Period{DAILY=1,WEEKLY=2,MONTHLY=3,YEARLY=4};Period publicationPeriod = Period.WEEKLY;

21

Enummerations

Java 5 approachenum PeriodE{DAILY,WEEKLY,MONTHLY,YEARLY}//... int publicationPeriod=Period.DAILY;

System.out.println(publicationPeriod); PeriodE pubPeriod=PeriodE.DAILY; System.out.println(pubPeriod);

// OUTPUT : // 1 // DAILY

22

Iterating over a CollectionStandard Java approach

for(Iterator i=collection.iterator();i.hasNext();) {Object o=i.next();// do something with o

}for(int i=0;i<array.length;i++) {

// do something with array[i]}

C# approachforeach(object o in collection) {

// do something with o}foreach(int i in array) {

// do something with i}

Java 5 approachfor(Object o : collection) {

// do something with o}for(int i : array) { // do something with i}

23

Extension on “primitive” types

C# struct datatype :- very similar to class (defines attributes and methods)- BUT : - allocated on the stack or in-line (instead of heap)

- value type -> pass by value by default- efficient for small types- usage similar to usage of primitive types in Java

struct CoupleV{ private int x, y; public int X { set { x = value; } get { return x; } } public int Y { set { y = value; } get { return y; } } public string ToString() { return "(" + x + "," + y + ")"; }

24

Extension on “primitive” types

public static void Main(){ CoupleV p = new CoupleV(); p.X = 10; p.Y = 20; CoupleV q=new CoupleV(); q.X = 20; q.Y = 30; Console.WriteLine(p.ToString()); Console.WriteLine(q.ToString()); CoupleV[] r = new CoupleV[4]; for (int i = 0; i < r.Length; i++) r[i].X = r[i].Y=i; foreach(CoupleV i in r) Console.WriteLine(i.ToString());}

25

Operator OverloadingAllows to program type specific operator semanticsMore restrictive than C++ overloading mechanism

- always static- NON virtual (static binding !) !

public static bool operator ==(CoupleV a, CoupleV b) { return ((a.x == b.x) && (a.y == b.y)); } public static Boolean operator !=(CoupleV a, CoupleV b) { return !(a == b); }

// ...CoupleV p = new CoupleV();p.X = 10;p.Y = 20;CoupleV q = new CoupleV();q.X = 10;q.Y = 20;Console.WriteLine(p == q); // TRUEConsole.WriteLine((object)p == (object)q); // FALSE non-virtual !

26

PolymorphismJava : all methods virtual (late binding) by defaultC# (like C++) : methods MUST be declared virtual if late binding applies

class A{ public virtual void f() {Console.WriteLine("A.f()");}}

class B : A{ public override void f() {Console.WriteLine("B.f()");}}

- shows intention of programmer- more efficient- can prevent later extensions ...- explicit interface implementation

(solving name conflicts in case of multiple interface implementation)- possibility to hide base class type/method in derived class

27

AssembliesType boundaries

- class- namespace (equivalent to Java package)- assembly (equivalent to Java archive)

Assemby = exe/dll to deploy- meta-data (files contained, security settings, versioning info,

dependencies)- modules (compiled source files)- resources

Versioning- contained in assemby info- allows to run multiple versions of same types on same CLR

28

Visibilityprivate

same as Java = default for interface and enum members

publicsame as Java =default for struct and class members

protected visible in type itself or derived types

internal visible in assembly= default for non-nested types

internal protectedvisible from type itself, in same assembly and in derived types (= private or protected or internal)

Type can not be more accessible then types used for its declaration

29

Parameter modifiersPassing referencesref

pass reference to method requires parameter is assigned definite value before method entry

outrequires definite parameter assignment before returning frommethod call

Variable number of argumentsparams

can be applied to last argument of method

Parameter modifiers are part of method signature

30

Parameter modifiers static void swap(ref int a, ref int b)

{ int t = a; a = b; b = t; } static void OneMore(int i, out int j) { j = i + 1; } static int sum(params int[] x) { int r = 0; foreach (int i in x) r += i; return r; }

// ...int x = 1, y = 2;

swap(ref x, ref y); Console.WriteLine("{0} - {1}",x, y); // 2 - 1 OneMore(x, out y); Console.WriteLine("{0} - {1}", x, y); // 2 - 3 Console.WriteLine(sum(1, 2, 3)); // 6 Console.WriteLine(sum(3, 4, 5, 6)); // 18

31

AttributesAllow to extend language built-in declarative constructs

- Pre-defined attributes (e.g. Serialized)- Custom attributes

Can be applied to- class- method- field- parameter

Attributes and values can be retrieved at runtime

32

Field modifiersconst

- value calculated at compile time- equivalent to Java final

readonly- value calculated at runtime- can only be assigned once !- allows to retrieve setting

(“a not so constant constant ...”)

33

Pointer arithmetic

allowed in sections marked as unsafepointer type : <type>* dereferencing : *<pointer expression>address calculation : &<variable>

Garbage collector should NOT move around objectsused in unsafe regions

MUST be declared fixed

34

Pointer arithmetic

unsafe static void AdditionOne(int[] b) { int l=b.Length; fixed (int* a = b) { int* p = a; for (int i = 0; i < l; i++,p++) *p = (*p) + 1; } }//...int[] k ={ 1, 2, 3, 4 };foreach (int a in k) Console.WriteLine("{0}", a); // 1 2 3 4AdditionOne(k);foreach (int a in k) Console.WriteLine("{0}", a); // 2 3 4 5

35

Rectangular Arrays

int[,,] a=new int[3,4,5]; // rectangular array// single reference variable

a[1,2,3]=20;

int[][][] b=new int[3][4][5]; // jagged array

b[1][2][3]=30;

...

36

Constructors - DestructorsVery similar to Java constructors – finalizersConstructor :

can contain explicit constructor callspecified outside constructor body

- call to other constructor of same type : this(...)- call to base class constructor : base(...)

DestructorNOT for value typeNO explicit calls to destructorC++-like syntax (actually expands to calling Finalize)

class A {

public A():this(1){}public A(int i):base(i){}~A() {/* Destructor */}

}

37

C# and .NET

1. Introduction 2. C# versus Java : highlights3. C# data types4. Defining custom data types

38

C# type systemValue types (struct, enum)Reference types (class, array, delegate, interface)Pointer type

struct CoupleV{ private int x, y; public CoupleV(int xx, int yy) { x = xx; y = yy; } public int X { set { x = value; } get { return x; } } public int Y { set { y = value; } get { return y; } } public override string ToString() { return "(" + x + "," + y + ")"; }}

39

C# type system

class CoupleR{ private int x=0, y=0; public CoupleR(int xx, int yy) { x = xx; y = yy; } public int X { set { x = value; } get { return x; } } public int Y { set { y = value; } get { return y; } } public override string ToString() { return "(" + x + "," + y + ")"; }}

40

C# type system

// ... CoupleR a = new CoupleR(1, 2); CoupleR b = a; CoupleV c = new CoupleV(3, 4); CoupleV d = c; a.X = 7; c.X = 7; Console.WriteLine(a); // (7,2) Console.WriteLine(b); // (7,2) Console.WriteLine(c); // (7,4) Console.WriteLine(d); // (3,4)

41

Type unification

all struct and class types derive from object(pointer types do not ...)

“simple” (“primitive”) types are actually structsint : alias for System.Int32long : alias for System.Int64... boxing – unboxing- value type -> reference type : copy made (automatic)- reference type -> value type : explicit cast necessaryint x=12;object o=x; // box int y=(int)o; // unbox through downcast

42

Available types

Value typessigned integer : sbyte, short, int, longunsigned integer : byte, ushort, uint, ulongfloating point : float, decimal, doublelogical : boolcharacters : char

Reference typesobjectstring

standard notations for constants apply (U : unsigned, L : long)standard rules for conversions apply

43

Checked Arithmetic

checked(<expression>)checked {/* block */}

checks for integral overflowsgenerates runtime exception OverflowException

unchecked(<expression>)unchecked{/* block */}

turns off compile time bounds checking

44

Control flow statementsSame as in Java, BUTswitch :

no “fall through” behavioureach case must end with jump (break, goto, ...)

foreach

goto label;

// ...int x=0;loop :

x++;if(x<5) goto loop;

45

Namespaces

Similar to java packages w.r.t. avoiding name clashesBUT : no boundary for accessibilityCan be nestednamespace A {

namespace B {class CL {

}}

}

// ...A.B.CL x=new A.B.CL();

Alternative

using A.B;CL x=new CL();

Global namespace = default surrounding namespace

46

C# and .NET

1. Introduction 2. C# versus Java : highlights3. C# data types4. Defining custom data types

47

Classes[<attributes>][unsafe][<access modifier>][new][abstract | sealed] <class name>[: <base class> | : <interfaces> | : <base class>,<interfaces> ] {

<class members>}

Class members• Fields• Constants• Properties• Indexers• Methods• Events• Nested type (like Java static inner class, no outer object)

48

ModifiersAccessibility (visibility) : private, internal, protected, publicInheritable

sealed : can not be overridden/inherited (Java equivalent : final)- sealed class- sealed method

abstract : MUST be overridden/inherited - abstract class- abstract method

class/method can not be sealed AND abstractParameter modifiers : ref,out,paramsClass member/instance member : staticLate binding/static binding : virtual, override, newDangerous ? : unsafe

- unsafe class- unsafe method- unsafe property

49

Inheritanceclass A {}class B : A {}class C : B {}class D : A {}

Runtime type checking (RTTI)operator isif(a is A) {/* ... */}if(b is A) {/* ... */} // true if b is A or B

Conversions :- widening conversions (upcast) : automatic

B b = new B();C c = new C();D d = new D();A ab = b;A ac = c;B bc = c;B bd = d; // compile time errorA ad = d;

- narrowing (cntd.)

50

Inheritance

- narrowing conversions : cast necessary- simple downcast :

B ba=(B)ab; // OKC ca=(C)ac; // OKD da=(D)ad; //OKD dc=(D)ac; // runtime error

- safe downcast (evaluates to null if unsuccesful)B ba = ab as B;C ca = ac as C;D dc = ac as D; // null

51

PolymorphismKey idea : late binding, based on dynamic object typeC# : use virtual methods, override in derived class

class A{ public virtual void f() {Console.WriteLine("A.f()");}}class B : A{ public override void f() {Console.WriteLine("B.f()");}}class C : B { public override void f() { Console.WriteLine("C.f()"); }}class D : A{ public override void f() {Console.WriteLine("D.f()");}}

52

Polymorphism

A a = new A();B b = new B();C c = new C();D d = new D();a.f(); // A.f()b.f(); // B.f()c.f(); // C.f()d.f(); // D.f()

A[] a = new A[] { new A(), new B(), new C(), new D() };foreach(A aa in a) aa.f();

// A.f()// B.f()// C.f()// D.f()

53

PolymorphismSealingclass A{ public virtual void f() {Console.WriteLine("A.f()");}}class B : A{

public sealed override void f() {Console.WriteLine("B.f()");}}class C : B { public override void f() { Console.WriteLine("C.f()"); }}

NOT allowed

54

PolymorphismHiding base class member : newclass A{public virtual void f() {Console.WriteLine("A.f()");}}class B : A{public override void f() {Console.WriteLine("B.f()");}}class C : B

{public new void f() { Console.WriteLine("C.f()"); }}class D : A{public override void f() {Console.WriteLine("D.f()");}}

A aa = new A(); aa.f(); // A.f() B bb = new B(); bb.f(); // B.f() C cc = new C(); cc.f(); // C.f() D dd = new D(); dd.f(); // D.f() A ab = new B(); ab.f(); // B.f()

A ac = new C(); ac.f(); // B.f() A ad = new D(); ad.f(); // D.f();

B bc = new C(); bc.f(); // B.f(); A[] a = new A[] { new A(), new B(), new C(), new D() };

foreach(A o in a) o.f(); // A.f() B.f() B.f() D.f()

55

PolymorphismHiding base class member : newclass A{public virtual void f() {Console.WriteLine("A.f()");}}class B : A{public override void f() {Console.WriteLine("B.f()");}}class C : B

{public new void f() { Console.WriteLine("C.f()"); }}class D : A

{public new void f() {Console.WriteLine("D.f()");}} A aa = new A(); aa.f(); // A.f() B bb = new B(); bb.f(); // B.f() C cc = new C(); cc.f(); // C.f() D dd = new D(); dd.f(); // D.f() A ab = new B(); ab.f(); // B.f()

A ac = new C(); ac.f(); // B.f() A ad = new D(); ad.f(); // A.f(); B bc = new C(); bc.f(); // B.f(); A[] a = new A[] { new A(), new B(), new C(), new D() };

foreach(A o in a) o.f(); // A.f() B.f() B.f() A.f()

56

Polymorphismnew

- define method as new (even if method with same signature, possibly sealed, exists in base class)- define new property- define new field

class A{protected double i; public double I {set{i = value;} get{return i;} } public sealed void f() {Console.WriteLine("A.f()");}}class B : A

{private new int i; public new int I {set{i = value;} get{return i;} } public new void f() {Console.WriteLine(“B.f()");}}

57

Structs

Struct = class except for• value type, allocated on the stack• is implicitely sealed (inherit from single type, System.ValueType), can implement several interfaces• can NOT have destructor• NO field initializers (initialization to 0)• NO constructor that leaves fields uninitialized

struct CoupleV : A // not allowed unless A is interface{ private int x=1, y=1; // NOT allowed : field initializer public CoupleV(int xx) { x = xx; }

// NOT allowed : partial initialization public CoupleV(int xx, int yy) { x = xx; y = yy; } // allowed}

58

Interfaces

Interface = class except for• no implementation, (pure abstract class)• can be supertype of struct (class can not !)

Interface members :- methods- properties- indexers- events

always : implicitly public, abstract, virtual and non static

59

Interfacesinterface IP{void f();}interface IQ{void g();}

class A : IP{ public virtual void f() {Console.WriteLine("A.f()");}}class B : A,IQ { public override void f() {Console.WriteLine("B.f()");} public virtual void g() {Console.WriteLine("B.g()");}}class C : B { public override void f() { Console.WriteLine("C.f()"); } public override void g() { Console.WriteLine("C.g()"); }}class D : A{ public override void f(){Console.WriteLine("D.f()");}}class E : D,IQ { public override void f() { Console.WriteLine("E.f()"); } public virtual void g() { Console.WriteLine("E.g()"); }}

60

InterfacesIP[] p = new IP[] { new A(), new B(), new C(), new D(), new E() };IQ[] q = new IQ[] { new B(), new C(), new E() };foreach (IP pp in p) pp.f();foreach (IQ qq in q) qq.g();

// A.f()// B.f()// C.f()// D.f()// E.f()// B.g()// C.g()// E.g()

Extending an interfaceinterface IPP : IP {

void ff();}

61

Explicit interface implementationPROBLEM : implement two interfaces with name collision

-> explicit (instead of implicit) interface implementation interface U { void a(); } interface V { void a(); } class O : U, V { void U.a() { Console.WriteLine("A.ua()"); } void V.a() { Console.WriteLine("A.va()"); } }

// ... O o = new O();

// o.a(); // NOT allowed ((U)o).a(); // A.ua() ((V)o).a(); // A.va()

62

Explicit interface implementation

LIMITATIONS (compared to implicit implementations)• NO late binding

no polymorphism related modifiers(no abstract, virtual, override, new)

• NO access modifierusage requires cast to interfaceaccess modifier mentioned there is used implicitely

Same rules (as with classes) to• convert between types• to convert to structs

63

C# and .NET1. Introduction 2. C# versus Java : highlights3. C# data types4. Defining custom data types5. Operator Overloading6. Event driven programming7. .NET Framework Class Library8. A GUI in C#9. A web service in C#

64

Operator overloadingIdea

• treat operators (+,-,*,/,%,...) as special functions(keyword operator)

• give special meaning to operator according to class semantics

• allows elegant programming for math-oriented software• important issue : what happens in case of mixed type expressions ?

-> need to overload also type conversion-> quite complex to keep consistent

-> not available in Java (but proposals are on the way ...)

65

C# Operator overloadingOperators to overload

+ - ! ~ ++ -- (unary)

(binary)+ - * / % arithmetic& | ^ bit logic<< >> bit shift== != > < >= <= relational

CAN NOT BE OVERLOADED :- address related operators (unary *, &)- assignment ! (cf. C++ ...)

ONLY static operators allowedLOGIC pairs (MUST be overloaded together)

== and !=< and ><= and >=

66

Indirect overloading

To keep things consistent (developer might forget to overload ...)

- && and || are evaluated using & and |- [] operator overloaded through indexers- combined assignment operators (+=, -=, *=, /=, ...) evaluated using non-combined counterparts

67

Value equality

Operators == and != default to reference equalityIf other behavior is needed :

- override Equals method (cf. Java)- redirect Equals to “==“ and “!=“ -> allows compatibility with .NET languages

NOT supporting operator overloading -> allows polymorphism

68

Value equality class Point { protected int x, y; public Point(int xx, int yy) { x = xx; y = yy; } public Point(int xx) : this(xx, xx) { } public Point() : this(0) { } public override string ToString() { return "<"+x+","+y+">"; } public static bool operator ==(Point a, Point b) { return (a.x == b.x) && (a.y == b.y); } public static bool operator !=(Point a, Point b) { return !(a == b); } }

69

Value equalityProblem Collections framework heavily uses Equals()-method(implementation of no-duplicate collections such as Sets)

-> whenever == and != overloaded -> Equals() should be overridden

public override bool Equals(object o) { if (o is Point) { Point p = (Point)o; return this == p; } else return false; }

DO NOT call Equals() from within == and != ...

70

Value equality : inheritance class Point3D : Point {

protected int z; public Point3D(int xx,int yy,int zz):base(xx,yy){z=zz;} public override string ToString() { return "<"+x+","+y+","+z+">"; } }// ...

Point a=new Point(1,1); Point b=new Point(2,2); Point c = new Point(2, 2); Point3D d=new Point3D(3,3,3); Point3D e = new Point3D(3, 3, 3); Point3D f = new Point3D(3, 3, 4); Console.WriteLine(a); // <1,1> Console.WriteLine(b); // <2,2> Console.WriteLine(e); // <3,3,3> Console.WriteLine(f); // <3,3,4>

71

Value equality : inheritance Console.WriteLine(a == b); // False

Console.WriteLine(a == c); // False Console.WriteLine(a == d); // False Console.WriteLine(b == c); // True -> value ! Console.WriteLine(b == d); // False Console.WriteLine(c == d); // False Console.WriteLine(d == e); // True Console.WriteLine(e == f); // True

Operators == and != should be overloaded in Point3D public static bool operator ==(Point3D a, Point3D b)

{ return (a.x == b.x) && (a.y == b.y)&&(a.z==b.z); } public static bool operator !=(Point3D a, Point3D b) { return !(a == b); }// ...Console.WriteLine(e == f); // False

72

Value equality : polymorphismPoint[] p ={ new Point(1, 1), new Point(2, 2),

new Point3D(1, 1, 1), new Point3D(2, 2, 2) };Point s1 = new Point(2, 2)Point s2 = new Point3D(2, 2, 2);foreach (Point pp in p) Console.WriteLine(pp == s1);foreach (Point pp in p) Console.WriteLine(pp == s2);

// False True False True// False True False True

CHANGE operator in base class (!)public static bool operator ==(Point a, Point b)

{ if(((a is Point3D)&&!(b is Point3D))||

(!(a is Point3D)&&(b is Point3D))) return false; else return (a.x == b.x) && (a.y == b.y); } public static bool operator !=(Point a, Point b) { return !(a == b); }

// False True False False// False False False True

73

Overloading arithmetic operatorsOperator + Point p: translate over pOperator + int i: translate over Point(i,i)

public static Point operator +(Point a, Point b){ return new Point(a.x + b.x,a.y + b.y);}public static Point operator +(Point a,int i){ return new Point(a.x + i, a.y + i);}public static Point operator +(int i, Point a){ return a + i;}

//...Point a = new Point(10, 20);Point b = new Point(20, 30);Console.WriteLine(a + b); //<30,50>Console.WriteLine(a + 100); //<110,120>Console.WriteLine(100 + a + b); //<130,150>

74

Type Conversion

Two versionsimplicit

not dangerous, can be invoked by compiler whenever neededexplicit

dangerous, only done if explicitely asked

e.g. conversion to and from intPoint-to-int : max value of x and y (looses info !)int-to-Point : Point on diagonal (no info lost !)

75

Type Conversion public static Point operator +(Point a,int i) { Console.WriteLine("+(P,i)"); return new Point(a.x + i, a.y + i); } public static Point operator +(int i, Point a) { Console.WriteLine("+(i,P)"); return a + i; } public static implicit operator Point(int i) { Console.WriteLine("(P)i"); return new Point(i, i); } public static explicit operator int(Point p) { Console.WriteLine("(i)P"); return (p.x > p.y) ? p.x : p.y; }

76

Type Conversion Point a = new Point(10,20);

Console.WriteLine((Point)5); // (P)i <5,5> Console.WriteLine(a + 5); // +(P,i) <15,25> Console.WriteLine((int)a + 5); //(i)P 25

In case NO +(Point,int) and +(int,Point) operators :

Console.WriteLine((Point)5); // (P)i <5,5> Console.WriteLine(a + 5); // (P)i <15,25> Console.WriteLine((int)a + 5); // (i)P 25

Delegates[<attributes>][unsafe][<access modifiers>][new]delegate <return type> <delegate name> (<parameter list>);= type defining method signature- instance can hold (list of) method(s) with matching signature public delegate bool Filter(string s); class Del{ public static void Main(){ String[] r = new String[] { "a fair Lady",

"the king and I", "hye buzz", "a beautiful mind", "the zzz" };

Filter f=new Filter(StartWithA); ArrayList a=Show(r,f); Console.WriteLine("Starting with a :"); foreach (String s in a) Console.WriteLine(s); f=new Filter(EndWithZ); ArrayList z = Show(r, f); Console.WriteLine("Ending with z :"); foreach (String s in z) Console.WriteLine(s); } //... }

Starting with a :a fair Ladya beautiful mindEnding with z :hye buzzthe zzz

80

Multicast DelegatesUse operators += and -= to add/remove delegates to other delegateif non-void : return value of last invocation is returned

public delegate void M(int i); class Multi { // ... public static void Print(int i) { Console.WriteLine("i = {0}",i); } public static void Sqrt(int i) { Console.WriteLine(Math.Sqrt(i)); } public static void EndMessage(int i) { Console.WriteLine("Ending ..."); } }

84

Delegate versus ...

Delegate vs. C function pointer- type safe (unless in unsafe regions ...)- can hold multiple methods to invoke- can hold instance to invoke method upon

Delegate vs. Interface- multiple methods to invoke

(could be implemented through list of interface objects)

- any problem solved with delegates can be solved using interface types- “more elegant”

85

Delegate versus Inteface interface IF { bool Filter(string s); } class StartWithAFilter : IF { public bool Filter(string s) { return s[0] == 'a'; } } class EndWithZFilter : IF { public bool Filter(string s) { return s[s.Length - 1] == 'z'; } }

86

Delegate versus Inteface class Test { public static void Main() { String[] r = new String[] { "a very fair Lady",

"the king and a z", "hye buzzy", "a beautiful mind for z", "the zzz" }; ArrayList a = Show(r, new StartWithAFilter()); Console.WriteLine("Starting with a :"); foreach (String s in a) Console.WriteLine(s); ArrayList z = Show(r, new EndWithZFilter()); Console.WriteLine("Ending with z :"); foreach (String s in z) Console.WriteLine(s); } public static ArrayList Show(String[] s, IF f) { ArrayList l = new ArrayList(); foreach (String i in s) if (f.Filter(i)) l.Add(i); return l; } }

Events

A

B

events- notification from A -> B- WITHOUT calling directly method on B

use of intermediary- event listeners + event handlers- in C# : implemented through delegates

event

88

EventsA

B

event

Event Source

Event Sink

- delegate defined to fix handler signature- source class declares ability to fire event

-> public (downcast) multicast delegate d - delegates registered with d to get notified- source class fires event by calling delegate d

d

Delegate

delegate

89

Events : ExampleCustomer arrives in business centre

-> generates event-> interested parties are notified

Delegate conventions for eventing - first argument : identifies source of event- second argument : additional info

subclass of EventArgs

Example- ID = object reference- additional info :

- time of event- urgency

90

Events : ExampleDelegate signaturedelegate void CustomerHandler(object s, CustomerArgs e)

public delegate void CustomerHandler(object o,CustomerArgs e);enum Priority {LOW=0,NORMAL=1,HIGH=2};class CustomerArgs : EventArgs{ private DateTime d; public Priority p; public static Random r = new Random(); public DateTime Time { get { return d; } } public Priority Urgency { get {return p;} } public CustomerArgs() { d = DateTime.Now; p=(Priority)(r.Next(3)); }}

Preliminaries• Delegate declaration• Definition of event handler argument type

91

Events : Example public class Customer { private string name; public event CustomerHandler CustomerArrival; public string Name { get { return name; } } public Customer(string n){name = n;} public void arrive() { if (CustomerArrival != null) { CustomerArgs args = new CustomerArgs(); CustomerArrival(this, args); // fire the event; } } public override string ToString(){return "<Customer : "+name+">";} }

Event source class : Customer• Declares event • Listeners will register to event• FIRES event when needed

92

Events : Example class HotelService {private string n; public HotelService(string n) {this.n=n;} public string Name{get{return n;}} public void CustomerArrivalNotification(object o,CustomerArgs a) { Console.WriteLine(this + " : guest " + (Customer)o + " arrived at " + (a.Time)+"(Priority : "+a.Urgency+")"); } public override string ToString() { return "Hotel service : "+n; } } class HotelPersonnel {private string n; public HotelPersonnel(string n) {this.n=n;} public string Name{get{return n;}} public void CustomerArrivalNotification(object o,CustomerArgs a) { Console.WriteLine(this + " : guest " + (Customer)o + " arrived at" + (a.Time) + "(Priority : " + a.Urgency + ")"); } public override string ToString() { return "Hotel personnel : "+n; } }

Event sink classes :• HotelService• HotelPersonnel• declare a method conforming to delegate signature

93

Events : Example class CustomerApp { public static void Main() { Customer[] c=new Customer[] {new Customer("Bart De Poorter"), new Customer("George Bush"), new Customer("Condaleeza Rice"), new Customer("Mahatma Ghandi")}; HotelService[] hs = new HotelService[] { new HotelService("House keeping"), new HotelService("Accounting"), new HotelService("Reception") }; HotelPersonnel[] hp = new HotelPersonnel[] { new HotelPersonnel("Manager"), new HotelPersonnel("Mr. BigBoss (owner)") }; foreach(HotelService h in hs) { foreach(Customer cu in c) cu.CustomerArrival+= new CustomerHandler(h.CustomerArrivalNotification); }

// ...

Main method• instantiates simulation objects• binds sinks to sources

94

Events : Example// ...

foreach (HotelPersonnel h in hp) { c[1].CustomerArrival +=

new CustomerHandler(h.CustomerArrivalNotification); c[2].CustomerArrival +=

new CustomerHandler(h.CustomerArrivalNotification); } Console.WriteLine("Starting simulation ----------------"); foreach (Customer cc in c) { cc.arrive(); try { System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000); } catch (System.Threading.ThreadInterruptedException e) { } Console.WriteLine("---------------------"); } } }

95

Events : Example

Starting simulation ----------------Hotel service : House keeping : guest <Customer : Bart De Poorter> arrived at 14/12/2005 9:57:06(Priority : NORMAL)Hotel service : Accounting : guest <Customer : Bart De Poorter> arrived at 14/12/2005 9:57:06(Priority : NORMAL)Hotel service : Reception : guest <Customer : Bart De Poorter> arrived at 14/12/2005 9:57:06(Priority : NORMAL)---------------------Hotel service : House keeping : guest <Customer : George Bush> arrived at 14/12/2005 9:57:07(Priority : LOW)Hotel service : Accounting : guest <Customer : George Bush> arrived at 14/12/2005 9:57:07(Priority : LOW)Hotel service : Reception : guest <Customer : George Bush> arrived at 14/12/2005 9:57:07(Priority : LOW)Hotel personnel : Manager : guest <Customer : George Bush> arrived at14/12/2005 9:57:07(Priority : LOW)Hotel personnel : Mr. BigBoss (owner) : guest <Customer : George Bush> arrived at 14/12/2005 9:57:07(Priority : LOW)---------------------Hotel service : House keeping : guest <Customer : Condaleeza Rice> arrived at 14/12/2005 9:57:08(Priority : NORMAL)Hotel service : Accounting : guest <Customer : Condaleeza Rice> arrived at 14/12/2005 9:57:08(Priority : NORMAL)Hotel service : Reception : guest <Customer : Condaleeza Rice> arrived at 14/12/2005 9:57:08(Priority : NORMAL)Hotel personnel : Manager : guest <Customer : Condaleeza Rice> arrived at14/12/2005 9:57:08(Priority : NORMAL)Hotel personnel : Mr. BigBoss (owner) : guest <Customer : Condaleeza Rice> arrived at14/12/2005 9:57:08(Priority : NORMAL)---------------------Hotel service : House keeping : guest <Customer : Mahatma Ghandi> arrived at 14/12/2005 9:57:09(Priority : HIGH)Hotel service : Accounting : guest <Customer : Mahatma Ghandi> arrived at 14/12/2005 9:57:09(Priority : HIGH)Hotel service : Reception : guest <Customer : Mahatma Ghandi> arrived at 14/12/2005 9:57:09(Priority : HIGH)---------------------

97

FCL-CLS compliant set of managed type- accessible from all .NET languages- grouping (3542 types) :

- logically in namespaces (120)- deployed as a set of assemblies (36) of .NET framework

System

- collection of core classes (Object, ValueType, Enum, Convert, Exception)- core interfaces (ICloneable, IComparable, ...)- time related classes (DateTime, TimeSpan)- support for

- delegates- mathematical operations- custom attributes (Attribute)- exception handling- strings (String)

98

FCLSystem.Text

- immutable string (System.String)- mutable string (StringBuilder)- regular expressions (System.Text.RegularExpressions)

C# string is alias for System.Stringoverloaded “==“ operator for equality check (NOT in Java !)indexing strings : use normal indexing mechanism ([])

string a=“abcde”;char c=a[2];

formatting strings (Format()-method)format specifier string :

{ParamIndex[,MinWidth][:FormatString]}

e.g. “Value of account {0} is {1:C}” (C -> “Currency”)

99

FCLSystem.Collections

- Java-like set of interfaces and classes, implementing popular data structures (ArrayList, Queue, Stack, BitArray, ...)- System.Array is base type for all array types- generics as of .NET v 2.0 (System.Collections.Generics)to iterate over Collection :

- Collection implements IEnumerablepublic interface IEnumerable {

IEnumerator GetEnumerator();}

- iterator implements IEnumeratorpublic interface IEnumerator {

bool MoveNext();object Current {get;}void Reset();

}

- also : foreach idiom can be used

100

FCLiterator for Dictionary (Java Map)

public interface IDectionaryEnumerator : IEnumerator {DictionaryEntry Entry {get;}object Key {get;}object Value {get;}

}

IEnumerable

ICollection

IList

IDictionary

101

FCLclass Array : ICollection, IEnumerable, IList

fixed size indexed arrayclass ArrayList : IList

dynamically sized arrayclass Hashtable : IDictionary

standard dictionary key/value pairshash computed using GetHashCode() method

-> should be overridden class Queue

FIFO data structuremethods to queue and dequeue

class StackLIFO data structurekey methods : push and pop

102

FCL

class Bitarraycompressed form of bool[] (one bit per boolean)

class SortedList : IDictionarysorted to increase lookup efficiency(binary search instead of linear search)

class StringCollection : ICollectionspecial purpose collection for storing strings

class StringDictionary : IEnumerableidem for storing string maps

103

FCL : Examplespublic static void Print(ICollection c){ int j = 0; foreach(object i in c) Console.WriteLine("{0} -> {1}",j++,i); Console.WriteLine("--------------------"); }

ArrayList al = new ArrayList(); al.Add("Wim"); al.Add("Ann"); al.Add("Bram"); al.Add("Bart"); al.Add("Greet"); Print(al); al.Sort(); Print(al); Console.WriteLine(al[1]); al[1] = "BART"; Print(al);

0 -> Wim1 -> Ann2 -> Bram3 -> Bart4 -> Greet--------------------0 -> Ann1 -> Bart2 -> Bram3 -> Greet4 -> Wim--------------------Bart0 -> Ann1 -> BART2 -> Bram3 -> Greet4 -> Wim--------------------

104

FCL : ExamplesHashtable h = new Hashtable();h["Wim"] = "onetwothree";h["Bram"] = "123";h["Greet"] = "Da Vinci";h["Ann"] = "My fair lady";Console.WriteLine(h["Bram"]); // 123

Queue q = new Queue();Stack s = new Stack();int[] a ={ 1, 2, 3, 4 };foreach (int i in a) {q.Enqueue(i); s.Push(i);}Print(q);Print(s);Console.WriteLine(q.Dequeue());Console.WriteLine(s.Pop());Print(q);Print(s);

105

FCL : SortingTwo options :

- object ordering implemented in the class itselfpublic interface IComparable {

int CompareTo(object o);}

- delegate ordering to special objectpublic interface IComparer {

int Compare(object o1,object o2);}

comparing must follow special contract1. if a comes before b -> a.CompareTo(b)<02. if a is equal to b -> a.CompareTo(b) == 03. if a comes after b -> a.CompareTo(b)>04. null first -> a.CompareTo(null)>05. a.CompareTo(b) -> a.GetType() == b.GetType()

106

FCLSystem.IO

- standard in, out and error stream- binary and text file I/O- registering/notification of filesystem events- access of user specific secure storage (“Isolated Storage”)- System.Console- System.IO.IsolatedStorage

System.Net

- classes for network communication- raw socket access, TCP, UDP sockets- HTTP support- System.Net- System.Net.Sockets- System.IO.Stream

107

System.Threading

- support for thread management and pool management- synchronization mechanisms

- locks (monitor): serialized access- pulse/wait : notify waiting threads

- System.Timers- System.Thread

108

FCL

System.Reflection

- retrieve type information (methods, class names, signatures, ...) at runtime- retrieve (custom) attributes at runtime

-> for each custom attribute : - CLR creates object- retrieved using reflection interface

- retrieve metadata at runtime- assembly info (version, target OS, ...)- data to create custom attributes stored as metadata

109

FCLSystem.Runtime.Serialization

- write object graph to/from stream (file or network)- default serializers : XML and binary- serializability : use non-custom attribute [Serializable]- System.SerializableAttribute- System.NonSerializableAttribute

System.Runtime.Remoting

- distributed object model of .NET- calls can be : synchronous, asynchronous, one-way- transport protocol : TCP, HTTP or SMTP- format : binary or SOAP- naming service, activation service, marshalling, messaging

110

FCL

System.Web.Services

- in fact part of ASP.NET (not part of CLR)- describe, discover and publish web services

System.Data

- known as ADO.NET- classes to support database access

System.Xml

- schemas, namespaces, parsing (DOM,SAX)- implementation of XSLT, XPath, SOAP1.1

111

FCLSystem.Drawing

- support for graphics - known as GDI+- brushes, fonts, bitmaps, rendering, drawing primitives, ...

System.Windows.Forms

- Rich client applications (“classic GUIs”)- known as “Windows Forms”- forms package, GUI components and RAD component model

System.Web

- Thin client applications - known as “Web Forms”- server side package creates HTML UI- support for session management (state), security, deployment, ... - part of ASP.NET

GUIs in .NET

- heavily uses delegates- event subscription- event notification

- Visual Studio .NET contains IDE to assist GUI development- choose New Project -> “Windows Application”

(instead of “Console Application”)- Add WinForms as needed- Drop components from ToolBox on each form- Change component state in IDE generated code- Code event handlers

123

.NET / C# web service

- actually part of ASP.NET- uses .asmx file to bind server to code- C# :

- web service derives from System.Web.Services.WebService- class must be public, must have public constructor- has [WebService] attribute

paramters :- Description : info- Name : default = class name- Namespace : XML-namespace

- every exposed service method should have attribute[WebMethod]

parameters include :-Description : info-EnableSession : default = false- MessageName : default = method name

124

.NET / C# web service

web server- runs .asmx -file - locates class files referred- loads, runs and manages code

client- statically retrieves WSDL document- generates and compiles proxy class- instantiates service proxy- call methods on the proxy
