Purpose: – Illustrates using .

Purpose:
Returns the Max value of the two parameters that were passed in.

Syntax:
Max(byte,byte)
Max(decimal, decimal)
Max(double, double)
Max(int16, int16)

    End Sub
 
End Module

Prerequistes:

  1. Install C-Sharp (Express or Standard Edition)
  2. Install SQL Server Express
  3. Download Northwind and pubs Database
  4. Attach Northwind Database to Databases in Sql Express
  5. Attach pubs Database to Databases in Sql Express

Notes:

  • Console Application is used to simplify things, but Windows Forms or Web Forms could also be used
  • You can build a library of syntax examples by using same project over and over and just commenting out what you do not want to execute in Module1.cs

Instructions:
C-Sharp Syntax Functions Max

  1. Use C-Sharp 2010 Express or Standard Edition
  2. Create new project;
    • Click File/New Project

  3. Add New folder named “Functions”
    • Right-click project name in solution explorer;
    • add new folder;
    • name of folder could be: Functions
  4. Add New subfolder named “MathFunctions”
    • Right-click Functions folder in solution explorer;
    • add new folder;
    • name of folder could be: MathFunctions
  5. Add Class Named clsMax to MathFunctions folder
    • Right-click MathFunctions folder;
    • add new item;
    • Select class
    • Class name could be clsMax
  6. Click on cs in code in step 1 above to copy code into clsMax.cs
