C# Tipos de datos (Cómo funciona para desarrolladores)

Numeric Types

int number = 100;
short smallNumber = 200;
long largeNumber = 300L;
byte positiveNumber = 255;
sbyte negativeNumber = -100;

int number = 100;
short smallNumber = 200;
long largeNumber = 300L;
byte positiveNumber = 255;
sbyte negativeNumber = -100;

Dim number As Integer = 100
Dim smallNumber As Short = 200
Dim largeNumber As Long = 300L
Dim positiveNumber As Byte = 255
Dim negativeNumber As SByte = -100

float floatValue = 10.5f;
double doubleValue = 20.55;

float floatValue = 10.5f;
double doubleValue = 20.55;

Dim floatValue As Single = 10.5F
Dim doubleValue As Double = 20.55

decimal money = 100.50m;

decimal money = 100.50m;

Dim money As Decimal = 100.50D

Textual Types

char letter = 'A';

char letter = 'A';

Dim letter As Char = "A"c

string name = "John";

string name = "John";

Dim name As String = "John"

Other Predefined Types

bool isTrue = true;

bool isTrue = true;

Dim isTrue As Boolean = True

object obj = "This is a string";

object obj = "This is a string";

Dim obj As Object = "This is a string"

dynamic anything = 10;

dynamic anything = 10;

'INSTANT VB NOTE: 'Option Strict Off' is used here since dynamic typing is used:
Option Strict Off

'INSTANT VB NOTE: In the following line, Instant VB substituted 'Object' for 'dynamic' - this will work in VB with Option Strict Off:
Dim anything As Object = 10

Predefined Reference Types

Aside from the above-mentioned value types, there are predefined reference types, including:

• Class Types: Defines the blueprint of an object.
• Interface Types: Defines a contract that classes can implement.
• Array Types: Enables the creation of an array, a collection of items of the same type.

Built-in Conversions

C# also provides built-in conversions between different predefined data types. For example, you can convert an int to a float without losing information.

Default Values

Each value data type has a default value that gets assigned if no value is given. For example, the default value of a bool data type is false, while for reference types, it's null.

Struct Types

Useful for small data structures. It allows you to group different data types under a single variable name. It can be defined in C# as follows:

public struct Point
{
    public int X;
    public int Y;
}

public struct Point
{
    public int X;
    public int Y;
}

Public Structure Point
	Public X As Integer
	Public Y As Integer
End Structure

Enum Types

An enumeration is a set of named constants representing underlying integral values.

enum Days { Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat }

enum Days { Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat }

Friend Enum Days
	Sun
	Mon
	Tue
	Wed
	Thu
	Fri
	Sat
End Enum

User Defined Reference Types

Class Types, Interface Types, Array Types, and Delegate Types: These are reference types and more advanced but equally essential.

• Class types: Allow you to encapsulate data and methods within a single unit.
• Interface Types: Define a set of methods that a class type must implement. It's like a guideline to how a class type should be built.
• Array Types: A data structure that stores a fixed size collection of elements of the same data type.
• Delegate types: A type that represents a reference to a method.

IronPDF Your Solution for PDF Operations

IronPDF Tool for PDF Manipulation in C# is an indispensable tool when you need to work with PDF documents in your C# projects. This tool can generate PDFs from HTML, images, and ASPX web forms. This can be seen as analogous to working with string data types in C#.

IronPDF is a really awesome tool that can turn webpages, URLs, and HTML into PDFs that look exactly like the original. This is perfect for creating PDFs of online stuff like reports and invoices. So, if you ever need to make a PDF from a webpage, IronPDF is the way to go!

using IronPdf;

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        var renderer = new ChromePdfRenderer();

        // 1. Convert HTML String to PDF
        var htmlContent = "<h1>Hello, IronPDF!</h1><p>This is a PDF from an HTML string.</p>";
        var pdfFromHtmlString = renderer.RenderHtmlAsPdf(htmlContent);
        pdfFromHtmlString.SaveAs("HTMLStringToPDF.pdf");

        // 2. Convert HTML File to PDF
        var htmlFilePath = "path_to_your_html_file.html"; // Specify the path to your HTML file
        var pdfFromHtmlFile = renderer.RenderHtmlFileAsPdf(htmlFilePath);
        pdfFromHtmlFile.SaveAs("HTMLFileToPDF.pdf");

        // 3. Convert URL to PDF
        var url = "http://ironpdf.com"; // Specify the URL
        var pdfFromUrl = renderer.RenderUrlAsPdf(url);
        pdfFromUrl.SaveAs("URLToPDF.pdf");
    }
}
