Abstract:
A class is the most powerful data type in C#. Like structures, a class defines the data and behavior of the data type. Programmers can then create objects that are instances of this class. Unlike structures, classes support inheritance, a fundamental part of object-oriented programming. For more information, see Inheritance.
