To run this sample application, perform the following steps:

    In the folder where Visual Studio Tools was installed, locate the Samples.zip archive. This archive contains both the C# and Visual Basic versions of the samples. Extract this archive to a location that you have permissions to access.

  2. Open the Field Defaulter sample solution.

    Using Visual Studio, open the solution file FieldDefaulter.sln for the C# or Visual Basic version of the sample.
