Microsoft visual C# Express 2008 is a professional used program used to create computer programs in the C# programming language. C# is quickly becoming one of the most used computer languages. Microsoft Visual C# 2008 is available for free download at microsoft's website (follow link at bottom of post).
After you install the program (may occur on second or third use) you will be prompted to register the program. Simply follow the instructions they give you and you should have no problems.
Once it is installed and registered, you are ready to begin programming. This program will allow you to make form applications and other programs that may be shared with others via the internet.
To get started (assuming you are making a windows form application, the most common and easy to use option) click the new project button in the top left corner of the screen. Select Windows Form App in the options and give a name to the project. A form should be created and displayed on the screen (close the start page to make it visible). Your toolbar is located on the left of the screen. The toolbar allows you to place buttons, textboxes, and essentially anything else displayed on the form. Click the properties button on the top right corner of the screen to display the properties panel. This lets you set the attributes of the item you have selected. These attributes include everything from the text displayed on the object to the size of the object.
The most important thing to remember is that EVERYTHING must have a name used while programming (set by the name control in the properties panel, NOT THE TEXT CONTROL!). You know know the basic essentials used in C# programming. In part 2 we will actually start programming some items.
See you later on Hayden@Earth
