Visual Studio uses partial classes to separate auto-generated code from user-generated code. Example:Let us consider that visual studio creates a file called Form1.Designer.cs which holds the designer-related, auto-generated code. So in both Form1.cs and Form1.Designer.cs the Form1 class is declared as partial and the compiler joins them into one.
