Using Visual Studio 2008

The easiest way to create your first C# program is to use Visual Studio 2008. 

1. Launch Visual Studio 2008.

2. Create a new Console Application project by selecting File?New?Project.

3. Expand the Visual C# item on the left of the dialog, and select Windows. Then, select the Console Application template on the right (see Figure 3-1). Name the project HelloWorld.

4. Click OK. Figure 3-2 shows the skeleton of the console application.

5. Type the following highlighted code into the Main() method as shown:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
namespace HelloWorld {
 class Program {
  static void Main(string[] args) {
   Console.WriteLine("Hello, world! This is my first C# program!");
   Console.ReadLine();
   return;
  }
 }
}

6. To debug the application and see how it looks like when executed, press F5 in Visual Studio 2008. Figure 3-3 shows the output in the Console window.

To return to Visual Studio 2008, press the Enter key and the console window will disappear.
