create a c# windows program
Visual Studio is an IDE that provides a developement environment that includes:
- the designer
- the code editor
- the toolbox
- the properties window
- the solution explorer
It also provides the ability to execute and debug your code.
2. Open Microsoft Visual Studio - Click on the desktop icon OR - Click Start menu and find
3. File / New Project / C# / Windows Forms Application
- Enter Name for Project [HelloWorld] - (Note location and change if needed!)
4. Add controls from the toolbox! (Button, TextBox, Label, etc.. )
5. Write Code that Responds to an event such as ButtonClick
6. Build / Build Solution compiles the program
- If no syntax errors, message on status bar "Build Succeeded"
- 'Error List' window opens at bottom if there are syntax errors
7. Execute your newly compiled code:
- Ctrl-F5 runs the code NODEBUG (to add button: 'Tools/Customize')
- Debug / Start Debugging - executes the code
8. Check now for LOGIC ERRORS by trying different options as you execute the code
