What are the advantages of using Visual Studio to the .NET DEVELOPER?

• Visual Studio offers much advantage to the .NET developers, some most highlighted features is given bellow:

Visual Studio to the .NET developers

• Access to software design and code windows is easier than other IDE available on software development.
• Have WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) visual design support which facilitate Windows and Web Forms development.
• Visual studio have auto Code completion support, which allows you to enter code with fewer errors and less typing.
• Immediate flagging of syntax errors, which allows you to fix problems as they are entered.
• The same code editor can be used for all .NET languages.
• It has an integrated debugger, which allows you to debug the code for better software development.
• Visual Studio helps to develop software rapidly and more easily
• Third-party tools can be integrated into Visual Studio.
• It has a Server Explorer features which allows you to log on to servers that you have network access to, access the data and services on those servers.
• It has integrated build and compiles support which makes the programming life easier.
• It has drag-and-drop controls support onto your web page.

What types of applications you can build in C#.NET ?

C#.NET language can be used to develop four types of applications, these are:

1. Console applications
2. Windows applications
3. ASP.NET Web applications
4. Web services

1. Console applications: A console application runs in a console window (ie.MS DOS) which provides simple text-based output.
2. Windows applications: A Windows application runs on a computer desktop. Windows applications such as MS-Word and Excel, Calculator, Paint etc are example of windows application.
3. ASP.NET applications: ASP.NET applications are developed to run on a web server which is accessible through browsers. ASP.NET technology facilitates the budding of web applications quickly and easily. Dynamic websites like http://www.microsoft.com are good example of ASP.NET applications.
   
4. Web services:Web services are complex applications that can provide services such as current weather update, product stock status, converts the temperature from Fahrenheit to Celsius and many more.

What is a namespace in programming language?

• A namespace is a framework for their identifiers (class, methods). 
• Namespace provide a way of grouping the names that are assigned to elements (class, methods) in a software application so that they don’t conflict with other class, methods names. 
• Namespaces are heavily used in C# & other OOP language & all .NET Framework classes are organized in namespaces, to be used more clearly and to avoid confusion.

What is the .NET Framework ?

• The (dot net) .NET Framework is a software framework developed by Microsoft. It has a huge number of class libraries which provides:
  

• User interface, which is used to design for software interface,
• Database connectivity, used to connect with database
• Cryptography, used to ensure software security,
• Web application development, 
• Network communications and many more facilities on software development.

• C#, VB, J# etc are the programming language used by software developer with the combination of .NET framework to developed software application.

• The software applications developed with the dot net framework mainly runs on Microsoft Windows OS. 

• The most important components of the .NET framework are:

• CLR (Common Language Runtime), which allows us to compile and execute program.
• FCL (Framework Class Library), which has a large number of predefined types or classes to use in software development.

C 6.0 and the .NET 4.6 Framework

What do you mean by CLR of Microsoft .NET framework?

• CLR stands for Common Language Runtime. 
• CLR is the component of the .NET Framework developed by Microsoft that allows you to compile and execute applications written in any language (i.e C#, VB) with .NET. 
• CLR provide the following service to the .NET programming environment:
  

• Exception Handling
• Garbage Collection
• Thread Management
• Memory Management
• Type Safety

What are the difference between echo() and print() in PHP ?

• To better understand the difference, you have to know the syntax with example of echo() and print(). Syntax of echo() :

void echo ( string $arg1 [, string $... ] )

• Example of echo():

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19

<?php echo ("The quick brown fox."); echo "The quick brown fox."; $dept_name="HR"; echo "My department name is :$dept_name"; echo"<p> Another message 1 Another message 2 Another message 3 </p>"; ?>

• Syntax of print()

int print ( string $arg )

• Example of print():

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19

<?php print("The quick brown fox."); print "The quick brown fox."; $dept_name="HR"; print "My department name is :$dept_name"; print"<p> Another message 1 Another message 2 Another message 3 </p>"; ?>

• echo() is used to output one or more strings print() is used to output a string. 
• Both echo() and print() are not actually a real function, it is a language construct. 
• So you are not required to use parentheses with its argument list. 
• echo() can take more than one parameter when used without parentheses. 
• print() only takes one parameter. 
• echo() is not a real function ,so it does not return any value. Though print() is also not a real function, but it will always returns 1. 
• echo() has a shortcut syntax, this short syntax only works if the short_open_tag configuration setting on php.ini is enabled. 
• Example of short_open_tag:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

How to Comment your code in PHP?

• PHP supports 'C', 'C++' and Unix shell-style (Perl style) comments. 
• You may use any style based on your requirements. 
• Single-Line code comments use C++ Syntax 
• Multiple-Line code comments use C Syntax 
• Unix Shell Syntax (Perl Style) is also used for single line comments 
• Example: Single-Line C++ Syntax

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

<?php // Title: My first PHP code echo "This is a PHP program."; ?>

• Example: Unix Shell Syntax

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

<?php # Title: My first PHP code echo "This is a PHP program."; ?>

• Example: Multiple-Line C Syntax

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17

<?php /* Title: Test Code Author: shafiq Author URL: http://shafiq2410.wordpress.com Email: shafiq2410@gmail.com */ echo "This is a PHP program."; ?>
