Classes are part of the .NET Framework type system that also includes interfaces, structures, and enumerations. They’re implemented using C# type and member keywords (of which class is one), and translated by the compiler into .NET Framework types, and by the CLR into types in the Common Type System (CTS). In this chapter, we’ll examine the member keywords as they relate to classes. In the next chapter, we’ll look at the remaining .NET Framework types.
