Murach's C# 2005
How to create and use classes

This chapter shows you how to create your own C# classes that include fields, properties, methods, constructors, and static methods. While many competing books illustrate these concepts with unrealistic objects such as automobiles or animals, this book uses real-world business objects such as products and customers. In fact, this chapter presents an application that uses a Product class to create Product objects and a ProductDB class that uses static methods to handle the application's database access. That's the type of complete application that you need to see if you want to understand object-oriented programming in C#.
