About the Project

This repository is a curated collection of standalone console apps organized by topic. It is designed for learning, revising, and demonstrating core C# and .NET Framework concepts through concise, runnable examples.

Key features

• Topic-by-topic progression from basics to advanced concepts
• Self-contained projects you can run independently
• Coverage across fundamentals, OOP, collections, IO, threading, and networking
• Friendly for quick experimentation and study

Tech Stack

Layer	Details
Language	C#
Runtime	.NET Framework 4.7.2
Project Type	Console applications (classic .csproj)
Tooling	Visual Studio / MSBuild
Dependencies	No external NuGet packages detected

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Windows 10 or later
• Visual Studio 2019 or 2022 (or Build Tools with MSBuild)
• .NET Framework 4.7.2 Developer Pack

Installation

1. Clone the repository.
2. Choose a topic folder (for example, 001 to 016, Array, Searching, MoreAboutVariable).
3. Open the solution or project in Visual Studio and build.

Run

• Visual Studio: Press F5 or Ctrl+F5.
• CLI (PowerShell example):

msbuild "Array\ArrayList\ArrayList\ArrayList.csproj" /p:Configuration=Debug
.\Array\ArrayList\ArrayList\bin\Debug\ArrayList.exe

Usage

Example snippet

Console.WriteLine("Hello, .NET!");
int number = 10;
double price = 99.99;
char grade = 'A';
string name = "Gaurav";
bool isActive = true;

Console.WriteLine("Number: " + number);
Console.WriteLine("Price: " + price);
Console.WriteLine("Grade: " + grade);
Console.WriteLine("Name: " + name);
Console.WriteLine("Active: " + isActive);

Project Structure

• Numbered folders (001 to 016) contain topic-based lessons and practice apps.
• Additional practice areas include Array, Searching, and MoreAboutVariable.
• Each topic includes a runnable entry point and configuration file, such as Array/ArrayList/ArrayList/Program.cs and Array/ArrayList/ArrayList/App.config.

Configuration

Project settings and runtime configuration live in each app configuration file, for example Array/ArrayList/ArrayList/App.config. Update the supported runtime there if you target a different .NET Framework version.

Contributing

1. Fork the repository.
2. Create a feature branch.
3. Add or improve examples with clear, runnable code.
4. Run the project to validate behavior.
5. Open a pull request with a concise description and screenshots or output where helpful.

Roadmap

• Add per-topic mini guides and exercises
• Add CI builds to validate compilation
• Migrate projects to SDK-style formats where appropriate
• Introduce unit tests for selected topics
