## [Partial](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/78/partial-class-in-dot-net) Class Requirements:

- All the partial class definitions must be within the [**same assembly and namespace.**](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/155583/what-are-namespaces-in-c-sharp)
- All the parts of class must have the same accessibility like public or private, etc.
- If any part of the class is declared an abstract, sealed or base type then the whole class is declared of the same type.
- Different parts may have different base types and so the final class will inherit all the base types.
- The Partial modifier must be only appear immediately before the keywords class, struct, or interface.
- Nested partial types are also allowed.

## Advantages of Partial Class

- Multiple developers can easily work simultaneously with a single class in a separate files.
- When working with automatically generated source, code may be added to the class without having to recreate a source file. For example, Visual Studio separates HTML code for the UI and server side code into two separate and different files: .aspx and .cs files.
