How to work with OOP in .NET
• Structure of Form class
• Adding variables
– Public
– Private

• Adding member functions
– Procedural

• Adding classes by “ref”
• Passing parameters
– %,^

Properties
• A compromise between a function and a variable!
• See, the following, how awesome!
private:
int MyInt;
public:
// property block
property int intProperty
{
int get()
{
return MyInt;
}
void set(int value)
{
MyInt= value;
}
}

Properties
The property keyword
introduces the
declaration of a
property and can
appear in a class,
interface, or value
type. A property can
have a getter function
(read only), a setter
function (write only),
or both (read-write).

public:
int MyInt;
// property block
{
int get()
{
return MyInt;
}
void set(int value)
{
MyInt= value;
}
}

Properties
• So, how to use it? Like the following …
{
int get()
{
return MyInt;
}
void set(int value)
{
MyInt= value;
}
}
{
textBox1->Text= intProperty.ToString();
}

Properties

}

int MyInt;
// property block
{

void set(int value)
{

}
}
{

intProperty= 14;
textBox1->Text += " " + intProperty.ToString();
}

Properties
int MyInt;
// property block
{
int get()
{
MessageBox::Show("You are lucky to know the property
before others:P:D");
return MyInt;
}
void set(int value)
{
MyInt= value;
}
}
#pragma endregion
{
intProperty= 5;
}

stringint Conversion
• NewLine:
– Environment::NewLine;

• Converting from string to int:
– Int32::Parse(textBox1->Text);

– Int32::TryParse(textBox1->Text);

• Converting from int to string:
– Exp #1:
• int x;
• textBox1->Text= x.ToString();

– Exp #2:
• int ^;
x
• textBox1->Text= x->ToString();

– Exp #3:
• int ^;
x
• String ^S= x->ToString();

private: System::Void button1_Click_1(System::Object^
{
int i= 3;
i= int::Parse(textBox1->Text);
}

What happens if we have “435345” in textBox1?
What happens if we have “wewe” in textBox1?
What happens if we have “213s” in textBox1?
What happens if we have “” in textBox1?

Use the console to trackdebug values!
Do not use messagebox for tracking!

Change between Console and
Windows Form
• In the project properties for all configurations (Project |
Properties, choose Configuration 'All Configurations', locate
Config Properties -> Linker -> System), change the SubSystem
from Console to Windows.

Project output type example
• Let’s have the following design

• And the following code-behind

• After setting the project output to “console”, Run

• Now, press the button multiple times and there you go!

Strings in Action
• Let’s have the following form …

Strings in Action
• What happens?
{
int i = 3;
i++;
String ^Str = textBox1->Text;
String ^TempStr =String::Format("{0}{1}{2}" , Str , "What?" ,
i.ToString());
textBox2->Text += TempStr;
}

Strings in Action
sender, System::EventArgs^ e)
{
int i = 3;
i++;
String ^TempStr = String::Format("{0}{1} Go! {2}" , Str ,
" What? " , i.ToString());
}

• Is it okay?
{
int i = 3;
i++;
String ^TempStr = String::Format("{0}{1} Go! {2}" , Str ,

• Comparing Strings (int):
– Compare :
• returns an integer that indicates the relationship of one string to a
second string in the sort order.

Strings in Action
Value

Condition

Less than zero

strA is less than strB.

Zero

strA equals strB.

Greater than zero

strA is greater than strB.

Strings in Action
{
String ^str1 = "I Wanna go!";
String ^str2 = "I decided not to go!";
int i = String::Compare(str1,str2);
textBox1->Text = i.ToString();
}

Strings in Action
• Testing Strings for Equality (bool):
– You call the Equals method to determine whether two strings are
equal.

Strings in Action
{
String ^str2 = "I decided not to go!";
bool b= String::Equals(str1,str2);
textBox1->Text = b.ToString();
}

Strings in Action
• Finding Characters in a String :
– The String class includes two kinds of search methods:
• Methods that return a “ bool” value to indicate whether a particular
substring is present in a string instance. These include
the Contains, EndsWith, and StartsWith methods.
• Methods that indicate the starting position of a substring in a string
instance “int”. These include the IndexOf,IndexOfAny, LastIndexOf,
and LastIndexOfAny methods.

Strings in Action
• String::Contains Method (bool)
– Returns a value indicating whether the specified String object occurs
within this string.

Strings in Action
{
String^ s1 = "The brown fox jumps over the lazy dog";
String^ s2 = "fox";
bool b;
b = s1->Contains( s2 );
Console::WriteLine( "Is the string, s2, in the string, s1?: {0}", b );
}
Is string , s2, in string, s1? True

Strings in Action
• String::IndexOf Method (int)
– Reports the index of the first occurrence of one or more characters,
or the first occurrence of a string, within this string.
– This member is overloaded. For complete information about this
member, including syntax, usage, and examples, click a name in the
overload list.
