ASP.NET Basics (part 2): Not My Type
(Page 1 of 10 )
Now that you know how ASP.NET works, get to grips with the basic variables types - characters, strings and numbers - and the operators that are commonly used with them. This segment also explains how to cast variables into different types, either implicitly or explicitly, and briefly discusses the C# functions related to data type conversion between strings and numbers.
In the first part of this article, I introduced you to .NET and got you started with ASP.NET and the .NET Framework with some simple examples and explanations. I discussed the anatomy of an ASP.NET program, offered a brief introduction to the cool whizbangs that are server controls, and told you some basic things about C# variables.
Now, if you're ever going to do anything serious with ASP.NET, you need to make sure you've got the basics down. And you can't get more basic than variables - they're the cogs that make the motor tick, the plinth on which the building rests, the runes from whence all power flows, the...I could go on, but I won't. Instead, I'll simply tell you that variables are, to put it mildly, fairly important, and mastering them is an important part of your ASP.NET learning experience. Which is why this segment of the tutorial focuses entirely on variables - what they are, how they work, what you can do with them, and which flavours they come in. Flip the page, and let's get this show on the road!
