Multiple Developer Using Partial Classes multiple developer can work on the same class easily. Code Generator Partial classes are mainly used by code generator to keep different concerns separate Partial Methods Using Partial Classes you can also define Partial methods as well where a developer can simply define the method and the other developer can implement that. Partial Method Declaration only Even the code get compiled with method declaration only and if the implementation of the method isn't present compiler can safely remove that piece of code and no compile time error will occur. To verify point 4. Just create a winform project and include this line after the Form1 Constructor and try to compile the code partial void Ontest(string s);

以下是在实现分部类时需要考虑的几点

Use partial keyword in each part of partial class. The name of each part of partial class should be the same but the source file name for each part of partial class can be different. All parts of a partial class should be in the same namespace. Each part of a partial class should be in the same assembly or DLL, in other words you can't create a partial class in source files from a different class library project. Each part of a partial class must have the same accessibility. (i.e: private, public or protected) If you inherit a class or interface on a partial class then it is inherited by all parts of that partial class. If a part of a partial class is sealed then the entire class will be sealed. If a part of partial class is abstract then the entire class will be considered an abstract class.

另一个用途是分割不同接口的实现，例如:

partial class MyClass : IF3
{
    // main implementation of MyClass
}


partial class MyClass : IF1
{
    // implementation of IF1
}

partial class MyClass : IF2
{
    // implementation of IF2
}

在处理大型类时，或在团队中工作时，尽可能保持所有内容的干净，您可以在不重写的情况下编辑(或始终提交更改)

通过部分类，只需添加源文件，就可以向适当设计的程序添加功能。例如，可以设计一个文件导入程序，这样就可以通过添加处理文件的模块来添加不同类型的已知文件。例如，主文件类型转换器可以包含一个小类:

Partial Public Class zzFileConverterRegistrar
    Event Register(ByVal mainConverter as zzFileConverter)
    Sub registerAll(ByVal mainConverter as zzFileConverter)
        RaiseEvent Register(mainConverter)
    End Sub
End Class

每个希望注册一个或多个类型的文件转换器的模块可以包括如下内容:

Partial Public Class zzFileConverterRegistrar
    Private Sub RegisterGif(ByVal mainConverter as zzFileConverter) Handles Me.Register
        mainConverter.RegisterConverter("GIF", GifConverter.NewFactory))
    End Sub
End Class

注意，主文件转换器类并没有“公开”——它只是公开了一个小存根类，外接程序模块可以钩子到这个存根类。存在命名冲突的轻微风险，但如果每个外接程序模块的“寄存器”例程是根据它处理的文件类型命名的，那么它们可能不会造成问题。如果担心这样的事情，可以在注册子例程的名称中插入GUID。

Edit/Addendum To be clear, the purpose of this is to provide a means by which a variety of separate classes can let a main program or class know about them. The only thing the main file converter will do with zzFileConverterRegistrar is create one instance of it and call the registerAll method which will fire the Register event. Any module that wants to hook that event can execute arbitrary code in response to it (that's the whole idea) but there isn't anything a module could do by improperly extending the zzFileConverterRegistrar class other than define a method whose name matches that of something else. It would certainly be possible for one improperly-written extension to break another improperly-written extension, but the solution for that is for anyone who doesn't want his extension broken to simply write it properly.

在不使用分部类的情况下，可以在主文件转换器类的某个地方写一些代码，如下所示:

  RegisterConverter("GIF", GifConvertor.NewFactory)
  RegisterConverter("BMP", BmpConvertor.NewFactory)
  RegisterConverter("JPEG", JpegConvertor.NewFactory)

但是添加另一个转换器模块需要进入转换器代码的那一部分，并将新的转换器添加到列表中。使用partial方法，这就不再需要了——所有转换器都会自动包含。

我注意到两个用法，我在答案中没有明确找到。

分类项目分组

一些开发人员使用注释来分离类的不同“部分”。例如，一个团队可能使用以下约定:

public class MyClass{  
  //Member variables
  //Constructors
  //Properties
  //Methods
}

对于分部类，我们可以更进一步，将部分分割到单独的文件中。按照惯例，团队可以在每个文件后面加上与之对应的部分。所以在上面我们会有这样的东西:MyClassMembers.cs, MyClassConstructors.cs, MyClassProperties.cs, MyClassMethods.cs。

正如其他答案所暗示的那样，是否值得将班级分开可能取决于在这种情况下班级的规模。如果它很小，那么把所有东西都放在一个大师班可能会更容易。但是，如果这些部分中的任何一部分太大，它的内容可以移动到一个单独的分部类中，以保持主类的整洁。在这种情况下，惯例可能是在节标题后留下类似“See partial class”的注释，例如:

//Methods - See partial class

管理使用语句/命名空间的范围

这种情况可能很少发生，但是来自您想要使用的库的两个函数之间可能会发生名称空间冲突。在单个类中，最多只能为其中一个使用using子句。对于另一种，您需要一个完全限定的名称或别名。对于部分类，由于每个名称空间& using语句列表都不同，因此可以将两组函数分离到两个单独的文件中。
