Sachin Singh · Answer

Partial classes with the same name are merged as a single class at run time. Suppose you have a physical class class1. cs and inside that you have you have a partial class say myclass, you have another physical class class2 inside that you have again a partial class myclass then the both partial class will be merged at run time regardless they are physically separated on disk.

The partial classes concept is introduced in framework 2.0. With this keyword (Partial) you can create many classes with the same name in the same assembly. And the compiler will combine all of them at runtime for use. The benefit of it is a different person can work on the same class at the same time on different features. You cannot use the same name function or duplicate code in different partial classes, because ultimately they will compile as a single class. The visual studio itself used it for its frontend and code-behind file. They are of the same name but they are two different classes physically with the same name.
