Build your skills of C# programming in a Console environment using Visual Studio. Develop skills in designing and writing C# computer programs using file processing, generics, delegates, events, asynchronous programming and multi-threading using the Task Parallel Library. Get hands-on practice with applying these programming concepts by creating new code and revising existing code.

• C# Programming 2 or equivalent knowledge

Use the File class to display specific file information.

• Use the File class to access the drives on the computer
• Use the File class to access directories and files
• Use the File class to locate, open and read a specific type of file
• Run unit tests against an application

Create a generic class, and then revise an existing client class to use the new generic class.

• Create and use a generic class
• Apply generic constraints to control the type and contents of the generic parameter type
• Implement a generic interface into a generic class

Set up a class that will raise an event to the subscriber when a specific situation occurs, and set up the subscriber to employ a given action when the event occurs.

• Declare and use a delegate referencing existing and anonymous methods
• Implement a callback using a delegate
• Implement a multicast delegate containing references to methods that return a value
• Apply covariance and contra variance when using a delegate
• Implement a generic delegate into a generic class
• Declare and use an event that contains a reference to a custom EventArgs class

Set up parallel programming in a multi-threaded application using the Task Parallel Library (TPL).

• Create and use a delegate to invoke a method asynchronously
• Create a multi-threaded application without having to create threads using the TPL library
• Implement Task parallelism using the TPL library
• Implement exception handling in multi-threaded applications using the TPL library
