This class declaration defines a Customer class. The access modifier in front of the Class
keyword, in this case Public, controls the visibility of the type from inside and outside of the
assembly. The class Customer is publicly accessible, which means that you can create instances
of this class. The Customer class contains two fields, a constructor, two properties, and one
function. The property methods allow read/write access to the fields, and the function is used
to save the customer to a database.
Constructors
Constructors are called when an object is created. There are two types of constructors: default
constructors and instance constructors. A class can have only one default constructor, and it
can have no parameters. The name of the default constructor is New().
