**PARTIAL**

{{blk2blue.jpg|blk2blue.jpg}}

The PARTIAL attribute defines a CLASS as a //partial// class. A partial class is simply a class definition that is split into more than one physical file. The compiler doesn't see a difference because all of the files that make up a class are simply grouped into a single entity. Since the classes are just merged together and compiled, you can't mix languages. That is, you can't have one part of a class in C# and another in Clarion.
