Lesson 1: Introduction to Visual Studio 2010

This lesson series I will teach you the basics of how to use Microsoft Visual Studio IDE with graphical examples.

To follow this lesson you need to have Visual C# Express Edition 2008 or Visual Studio 2010 installed on your computer. These applications are free to download and install.

In this lesson series I use Visual Studio 2010 as the IDE (Integrated Development Editor) to do all the programming and demonstrations.

Let’s begin with VS2010:

To start with, open your IDE and create a new project, (There are several ways to do this)

1.      File >> New >> Project

In here you can see there are several other applications or programs you can code using this Visual Studio 2010 with C# and you can use several templates for your development.

Not only that you can use several other .NET related programming languages to do our programming, you can learn them later.

Now select the Visual C# >> Windows >> Windows Form Application template from the window that appears.

Give necessary name and the location to save the project, then click OK.

Now you see screen like this.

From here onwards you have to use this for your entire C# development projects. It’s really user friendly user interface for the developers.

From the next lesson you will learn about the components of this IDE and how to use them properly and easily.
