Two of the key concepts in object-oriented programming (OOP) are inheritance and composition. While both can help you reuse code, there are key differences between them. Inheritance establishes common behavior and interfaces for your classes, while composition combines and reuses existing classes to create more complex objects.
In this article, we’ll dive into these two concepts of OOP and understand when, why, and how to use them in our .NET applications. To work with the code examples provided in this article, you should have Visual Studio 2022 installed in your system. If you don’t already have a copy, you can download Visual Studio 2022 here.
