Chapter 9: Creating and Using Objects


Objects: Backward, Forward, Inside, and Out

Almost since the beginning of this book, you have read that this chapter was on the horizon. First, in Chapter 2, as I offered an answer to the question "What is .NET?" one of the answers offered was "object orientation," which included a reference to this chapter. Then again, in Chapter 4, as I discussed object orientation as one of the .NET retraining prerequisites, I included a reference to this chapter. In Chapter 6, when I introduced the topic of referencing objects, I included yet another reference to this chapter.

This trend continued as I made reference to this chapter repeatedly in Chapter 7 when I discussed namespaces and value type objects references. Finally, in Chapter 8, during the discussion of the garbage collector's impact on objects, I found it appropriate to include a reference to this chapter.

Suffice it to say that I discuss objects in this chapter. I discuss where objects come from and how they are created. Additionally, I contrast the basic two groups of objects by looking at their behavior and general usage considerations.
