K P Singh Chundawat · Answer

A partial class splits the definition of a class over two or more source files. You can create a class definition in multiple files but it will be compiled as one class. More than one developer can simultaneously write the code for the class. Suppose you have a Employee class. That definition is divided into the two source files Employee1.cs and Employee2.cs. Then these two files have a class that is a partial class. You compile the source code then create a single class. Or Suppose you have a class that has multiple interfaces so you can create multiple source files depending on interface implements. It is easy to understand and maintain an interface implemented on which the source file has a partial class.

Hi Partial Classes and Methods (C# Programming Guide) It is possible to split the definition of a class or a struct  an interface or a method over two or more source files. Each source file contains a section of the type or method definition and all parts are combined when the application is compiled. Reference : https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-IN/library/wa80x488.aspx
