Polymorphism

Polymorphism means the ability to take more than one form.
  • An operation may exhibit different behaviors in different instances.
  • The behavior depends on the data types used in the operation.
  • Polymorphism is extensively used in implementing Inheritance.
  • It allows you to invoke methods of derived class through base class reference during runtime.
  • It has the ability for classes to provide different implementations of methods that are called through the same name.
public class Customer { public virtual void CustomerType() { Console.WriteLine("I am a customer"); } } public class CorporateCustomer : Customer { public override void CustomerType() { Console.WriteLine("I am a corporate customer"); } } public class PersonalCustomer : Customer { public override void CustomerType() { Console.WriteLine("I am a personal customer"); } } public class MainClass { public static void Main() { Customer[] C = new Customer[3]; C[0] = new CorporateCustomer(); C[1] = new PersonalCustomer(); C[2] = new Customer(); foreach (Customer CustomerObject in C) { CustomerObject.CustomerType(); } } } Output:
I am a corporate customer
I am a personal customer
I am a customer

Method Overloading ( Compile Time Polymorphism):

  • Method with same name but with different arguments is called method overloading.
  • Method Overloading forms compile-time polymorphism.

Example of Method Overloading:

class A1 { void hello() { Console.WriteLine("Hello"); } void hello(string s) { Console.WriteLine("Hello {0}", s); } }

Method Overriding (Run Time Polymorphism) :

  • Method overriding occurs when child class declares a method that has the same type arguments as a method declared by one of its superclass.
  • Method overriding forms Run-time polymorphism.
  • Note: By default functions are not virtual in C# and so you need to write “virtual” explicitly. While by default in Java each function are virtual.

Example of Method Overriding:

class parent { virtual void hello() { Console.WriteLine("Hello from Parent"); } } class child : parent { override void hello() { Console.WriteLine("Hello from Child"); } } static void main() { parent objParent = new child(); objParent.hello(); } Output:
Hello from Child.

Hierarchical GridView in ASP.NET with AJAX, JQuery implementation - Part 1

Previously I had blogged some post related to showing two grids in hierarchical way. For example - when I need to show an invoice reports on the screen, the user requesting to show the list of invoices at initial time and they can drill down the details of item details of each invoice by clicking on respective row. The implementations can be in multiple ways, but I had blogged the implementation with AJAX and without AJAX using Java script on ASP.NET page. Below are the URLs of the same – Hierarchical GridView in ASP.NET Hierarchical GridView in ASP.NET with AJAX, Javascript implementation In this post I am taking the same requirements done before and enhance with some additional functionality as per readers expectations. The requirement on this implementation will be – The page should show a Grid View with list of Orders with Expand icon on the first column. On click of expand icon on each row, the Order Details of the Order must be fetched from the database ...

Scrollable Gridview With fixheader using JQuery in Asp.net

Scrollable Gridview With fixheader using JQuery in Asp.net Introduction: In this article I will explain how to implement scrollable gridview with fixed header in asp.net using JQuery.  Description:  In Previous posts I explained lot of articles regarding Gridview. Now I will explain how to implement scrollable gridview with fixed header in asp.net. I have one gridview that contains lot of records and I used  paging for gridview  but the requirement is to display all the records without paging. I removed paging at that time gridview occupied lot of space because it contains more records to solve this problem we implemented scrollbar.  After scrollbar implementation if we scroll the gridview we are unable to see Gridview header.   To implement Scrollable gridview with fixed header I tried to implement concept with css and JavaScript but there is no luck because maintaining fixed header working in IE but not in Mozilla and vice versa to ...
