| Array class and IEnumerator in C# |
| C# Help |
| This article illustrates the usage of Array class and IEnumerator in C#. Array class Provides methods for creating, manipulating, searching and sorting arrays, thereby serving as the base class for all arrays in the common language runtime.

| Array Types in .NET |
| MSDN |
| Arrays are mechanisms that allow you to treat several items as a single collection. The Microsoft® .NET Common Language Runtime (CLR) supports single-dimensional arrays, multidimensional arrays, and jagged arrays (arrays of arrays). All array types are implicitly derived from System.Array, which itself is derived from System.Object. This means that all arrays are always reference types which are allocated on the managed heap, and your app's variable contains a reference to the array and not the array itself. |

| Creating Data Bound Controls |
| C#Today |
| In this article, Matthew Reynolds takes a look at how to build Windows Forms controls that support data binding. Youre probably already familiar with how to use data binding with Windows Forms controls supplied with the Framework, but what you may not be familiar with is how to create your own controls that have this functionality. This article will show you how. |

| General Guidelines for C# Class Implementation |
| The Code Project |
| While implementing my first projects using C# I found out that there where several issues to take into account if I wanted my classes to behave correctly and make good friends with .NET. While this list is in no way complete, it contains the guidelines that I currently follow. |
|
| Implementing the Prototype design Pattern |
| .NET Xtreme |
| In the example I have created an EmpData class that implements ICloneable and ISerializable interfaces, ICloneable interface is required to mark the class as Cloneable and Clone method is implemented. ISerializable interface is used to implement deep copy (clone) for an EmpData Class, the trick I have used it to serialize the EmpData in a file and Deserialize the file and create another EmpData object, that would copy the Emp objects rather then copying their references as Clone method does. |

| Inside .NET Managed Providers |
| MSDN |
| When compared to full-fledged OLE DB providers, Microsoft .NET managed providers have a lot to offer. First off, they deliver a simplified data access architecture that often results in improved performance without the loss of functional capabilities. Furthermore, .NET managed providers directly expose provider-specific behavior to consumers through methods and properties. They also involve a much smaller set of interfaces than OLE DB providers. Last but not least, .NET managed providers work within the boundaries of the Common Language Runtime (CLR) and require no COM interaction. For SQL Server 7.0 and SQL Server 2000, the managed provider hooks up directly to the wire level, gaining a substantial performance advantage. |
|
| Memberwise Clone Method |
| .NET Xtreme |
| By definition, memberwiseclone() method "creates a shallow copy of the current Object." A shallow copy of an Object is a copy of the Object only. If the Object contains references to other objects, the shallow copy will not create copies of the referred objects. It will refer to the original objects instead. |

| Type Conversions |
| C# Corner |
| Type conversion is a process of converting one type into another. Using C# type conversion techniques, not only you can convert data types, you can also convert object types. |
