C# Data Types

Data Types 

 In C# programming language, Data Types are used to define a type of data the variable can hold such as integer, float, string, boolean. in a software application.

 C# is a Strongly Typed programming language so before we perform any operation on variables, it’s mandatory to define a variable with required data type to indicate what type of data that variable can hold in a software application.


Syntax of declaring Data Type in C#

[Data Type] [Variable Name];
[Data Type] [Variable Name] = [Value];

From the above syntax, we added a required data type before the variable name to tell the compiler about what type of data the variable can hold or which data type the variable belongs to.

[Data Type] - It’s a type of data the variable can hold such as integer, string, decimal, boolean etc.

[Variable Name] - It’s a name of the variable to hold the values in an application.

[Value] - Assigning a required value to the variable.

Data Types Example using C#

namespace CSharpnaijaDataType
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            int number = 15;
            string name = "Musa Sule";
            double percentage = 15.23;
            char gender = 'M';
            bool isGood = true;
        }
    }
}

Different Data Type in C#


There are basically three different types of Data Type in C# Programming Language, these include
1.  Value Data Type - int, bool, char, double, float, etc
2.  Reference Data Type - string, class, object, interface, delegate, etc
3.  Pointer Data Type - Pointers

Models in ASP.NET MVC

Models in ASP.NET MVC Explained A model is a class that contains the business logic of your application. It also used for accessing data from the database. The model class does not handle directly input from the browser. In MVC, it is the Controller that handle input from the browser directly and process the request by receiving data from the model and pass it back to view as response. It does not contain any HTML code either. It is a best practice but not mandatory for developers to not have any communications with the view directly, models should only contain a POCO ( Plain Old CLR Objects ) classes. All processing logic and communication with the view should be handled by another layer called Viewmodels. Models are also refers as objects that are used to implement conceptual logic for the application. A controller interacts with the model, access the data, perform the logic and pass that data to the view. Note that it is not mandatory, but it is a good programming...

Classes in C# Explained

C# Class Explained A class is nothing but an encapsulation of properties and methods that are used to represent a real-time entity, as explained by Guru99 . For instance, if you want to work with Guest’s data as in our previous DataDriven Web application . The properties of the Guest would be the Id, GuestName, Address, Phone number etc of the Guest. The methods would include the entry and modification of Guest data. All of these operations can be represented as a class in C# as shown below. using System; namespace CsharpnaijaClassTutorial {     public class Guest     {         public int Id { get ; set ; }         public string GuestName { get ; set ; }         public string Address { get ; set ; }         public string WhomToSee { get ; set ; }     ...
