Hi before you are going through the .NET syntax and other .NET stuff. You should understand OOPs concept. There are lot of website describe the OOPs in better manner. Once you understand the OOPs then you will get answers for your maximum number of question. Thanks Saravanakumar.K Saravanakumar.K Tokyo

:)Hi Chinna, Thankyou very much for answering my post. I am just starting to teach myself .NET programming. I have taught myself basic programming, but wish to channel all my studies in to .NET. I am at the very beginning and was hoping that somebody would be able to give me an application diagram or something similar which would show me the concepts of object oriented programming eg: how classes, objects, methods, functions, enumerations, interfaces etc etc all fit in together. Hopefully this is making sense. As I mentioned I am right at the beginning of my studies but this is something that I really want to devote alot of time to, and I will keep on reading but am hoping somebody can give a clear picture of how an application all fits together. Much appreciated. Craig. csp

My suggestion: Don't start off trying to learn the .NET hierachy. It's huge. Learn in small chunks. Start by learning from a good book on OO techniques. I'm afraid all my basic reference works are out of date, but I'm sure a search in Amazon or Google will help. Look for books that have several *independent* good reviews. Learn the basic principles of encapsulation and data hiding, inheritance and abstraction. Understand what is meant by "Design by Contract". Don't go into multiple inheritance - it's a minefield, and not supported in .NET anyway. Learn about the failings of OO too: where it doesn't work as where it does. For example, that mututally dependent objects can cause unwanted side effects. It's harder to find info about where/why OO doesn't work because it's not "cool", but it is useful to know, all the same. Although not all directly relevant, books like "The Mythical Man Month", "extreme .NET" (Roodyn), "Microsoft Secrets", and "Classical and Object Oriented Software Engineering" (Scach) might be of interest.
