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

This chapter shows you how to create C# classes that include fields, properties, methods, constructors, and static methods. While most competing books waste your time by illustrating these concepts with unrealistic objects such as automobiles or animals, our book uses real-world business objects such as products and customers. In fact, this chapter presents a complete 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 the use of C# classes. You're not going to find realistic examples like this in competing books.
