C# 2.0 new features: Partial Types

Partial Types : One class in more than one file

Partial types are another construct that Microsoft has proposed be added to the C# language to allow a single class to be defined in more than one file. Although it is recommended that a class be stored in a single source file, sometimes it is just not practical.

Syntax:

The following code snippets are from two different .cs files. First one comes from, let us say from ClassOne.cs and other one from classTwo.cs files respectively.

public class partial class_name()
{
//some business logic stuff
}

public class partial class_name()
{
//The remaining business logic stuff
}

Benefits:

By this logic, two different programmers can work on different logic area of same class. It eases that case.

C U with some other feature in my next article...
