It should be used whenever the enum represents a collection of flags, rather than representing a single valueUse the FlagsAttribute for an enumeration only if a bitwise operation (AND, OR, EXCLUSIVE OR) is to be performed on a numeric value.Define enumeration constants in powers of two, that is, 1, 2, 4, 8, and so on. This means the individual flags in combined enumeration constants do not overlap.Example Live Democlass Program {    [Flags]    enum SocialMediaFlags { None = 0, Facebook = 1, Twitter = ...

Singleton Pattern belongs to Creational type patternSingleton design pattern is used when we need to ensure that only one object of a particular class is Instantiated. That single instance created is responsible to coordinate actions across the application.As part of the Implementation guidelines we need to ensure that only one instance of the class exists by declaring all constructors of the class to be private. Also, to control the singleton access we need to provide a static property that returns a single instance of the object.ExampleSealed ensures the class being inherited and object instantiation is restricted in the derived classPrivate ...

You can choose between creating an EXE or a DLL when writing Dot NET code. Both of these include executable code, however, DLL and EXE operate differently from one another. The EXE will create its own thread and reserve resources for it if you run it. A DLL file, on the other hand, is an in-process server, so you cannot run a DLL file on its own. A DLL's code is used by a running application by loading and calling the DLL. The primary objective of a DLL is to facilitate the process of compartmentalizing a computer program. ... Read More
