What are Classes in C# ?

Classes are the blueprints for objects. Everything in C# is based upon classes.
A class normally consists of Methods, Fields and Properties. Classes are declared by using the keyword "class" followed by the class name and a set of class members surrounded by curly braces.


Example:
We define the following class:

  //define the hand class
  class Hand
  {
    public string name; //Field
    public void ShowName() //Method
    {
      Console.WriteLine("My name is : " + name);
    }
  }

Then we use it like :

Hand hand = new Hand();//Create the class object
hand.name = "Left Hand";//set the field value
hand.ShowName();//call the method

And the result will be shown as :
