Sequence of execution of Partial classes in C#

I have seen there are two partial classes of same class(FORM) in C# winforms.

1. Form1.cs
2. Form1.Designer.cs

In which changes made in Designer effects the layout of form at same time (without compilation) but the changes made in form1.cs (code file) effects layout at runtime.

What is main difference in both files?
Which line makes difference in both files?
What is the sequence of execution of partial classes?

Solution

  • Partial classes just allow the developer to split the class across multiple files. When compiled it's as if the class existed in one file.
