The following code is from a Visual Studio 2008 C# Console application named CreateStruct. The code is from the Program.cs file. It illustrates what we have read until now, in a working application. The output of the Console application when run will be “John Mora (Male), age 32, 1234567890, Home”. If you ran this application and did not have read permissions on C:\boot.ini you would get an exception. The “[Serializable]” attribute allows the Manager class (which derives from the Person class) to be serialized, which will be covered later.

Now we get to the meat and potatoes of object oriented programming. All programs,except the simplest, require constructing one or more custom classes with multiple properties and methods for performing tasks related to the object. I now discuss how to make custom classes.
