Type Value

There are three main value types in .NET: built-in value types, user-defined value types (structs), and enumerations. Built-in value types include common numeric and date/time types like int, double, and DateTime. Structs allow defining custom value types by using the struct keyword. Enumerations provide a list of named constants to choose from for variables.

BEST PRACTICES
El runtime optimizes the performance of 32-bits (int32, int16) for counters. For floating-point operations, Double is the most efficient type because those operations are optimized by hardware.

USING VALUE TYPE


Visual Basic y C# define aliases for them.

Using the alias is equivalent to using the full type name, so most programmers use the shorter aliases

USING VALUE TYPE


When you assign between value-type variables, los datas is copied from one variable to the other and stored en two different locations on the stack. Even They funtions as objects, you can call methods on them. Traditionally variables names begin with a lowetcase letter in C# and are capitalized in Visual Basic. For Consistency between the languages

USING VALUE TYPE


Declare the variable as nullable if you want to be able to determinar whether a valur has not been assigned. For example: If you are storing data from a yes/no question on a form and the user did not answer the question, you should store a null type. Nullable<bool> b = null; Bool? B = null;

USING VALUE TYPE


Declaring a variale as nullable enables the HasValue and Value members. Use HasValue to detect whether or not a value been set: If(b.HasValue) Console.WrileLine(b is {0},b.Value); Else Console.WrileLine(b is not set);

User-Typed types are also called structures or simply structs. As with other value type, instances of userDefined types are stored on the stack. Struct behave nearly identical to class. You define you own sttructures by using the struct keyWork

How to Create User-Defined Type

Struct
Casi todas las estructuras comparten la misma sintaxis que las clases, aunque estn ms limitadas que stas: Dentro de una declaracin de estructura, los campos no se pueden inicializar a menos que se declaren como constantes o estticos. Una estructura no puede declarar un constructor predeterminado (es decir, un constructor sin parmetros) ni un destructor.

Struct
Las estructuras tienen las propiedades siguientes: Las estructuras son tipos de valor, mientras que las clases son tipos de referencia. A diferencia de las clases, se pueden crear instancias de las estructuras sin utilizar un operador new. Las estructuras pueden declarar constructores, pero deben utilizar parmetros. Una estructura no puede heredar de otra estructura o clase, ni puede ser la base de una clase. Todas las estructuras heredan directamente de System.ValueType, que hereda de System.Object. Una estructura puede implementar interfaces.

How to Create Enumerations


Enumerations are related symbols that have fixed values. Use enumerations to provide a list of choices for developers using your class. For Example: Enum Titles: int {Mr,Ms, Mrs, Dr};

How to Create Enumerations


If you Create an instance of the Title type, Visual Studio display a list of the available values when you assign a value to variable. The value of the variable is an integer it is easy to output the name of the symbol.

Simplify coding and improve code readibility by enabling yo to use meaningful symbols.
Titles t = Titles.Dr Console.WriteLine({0}., t); //Display DR
