Object and Class Development

Lyon Technologies has extensive experience in object-oriented application development. Microsoft .NET® is an object-oriented development environment. As a result, objects and classes will need to be determined, coded, and then used throughout the application.

Objects are the key to understanding object-oriented technology. Software objects are modeled after real world objects in that they have state and behavior. Everything that the software object knows (state) and can do (behavior) is expressed by variables and methods within that object.

Of course, some objects share characteristics. At Lyon Technologies, we take advantage of this commonality and use a larger and more expansive blueprint for those objects. This larger software blueprint that we use to combine objects with shared characteristics is called a class.

For each object and class, Lyon Technologies defines the variables and methods, indicating the characteristics and functions of each object within the system.
