3. provides the features that are most important to
programmers, such as OOP (Object Oriented
Programming), strings, graphics, GUI
Graphical – User – Interface) Components, exception,
handling, multimedia (audio, images, animation and
video), file processing, database processing, Internet and
Worldwide web base client/server Networking.
4. Is Microsoft’s Integrated Development
Environment (IDE) for creating, running, and
debugging programs (also called
Applications) written in a variety of .Net
programming languages. This IDE is a
powerful and sophisticated tool for creating
business-critical and mission-critical
applications.
5. In June 2000, Microsoft announced its .Net plan, a broad new vision for
embracing the internet and the web in the development, engineering and use
software. One key aspect of the .Net strategy is its independence from a specific
language or platform. Rather than facing developers to use a single
programming language, developer can create a .Net application in any .Net –
Compatible language. Programmers can contribute to the same project, writing
code in the .Net language such as Visual Basic.Net, Visual C++.Net, C# and
others in they are most competent. Part of the plan includes Microsoft ASP.Net
technology, which allows programmers to create applications for the web.
6. The Microsoft .Net Framework is the heart of the .Net strategy.
This Framework manages and executes applications and web
service, contains a class library (called Framework Class Library
or FCL), enforces security and provides many other
programming capabilities.
7.
8. The .net Framework consists of two main components: The .Net Framework
Class Library and the Common Language Runtime.
.Net applications do not access the operating system or computer hardware
directly. Instead, they use services of the .Net Framework, which in turn
access the operating system and hardware.
The .Net Framework Class Library provide pre – written code in the
form of classes that are available to all of the .Net programming
langauages. This class library consists of hundreds of classes, but you
can create simple .Net applications once you learn how to use just a few
of them.
9. The Common Language Runtime, or CLR, is the foundation of the
.Net Framework. It manages the execution of .Net programs by
coordinating essential functions such as memory management, code
execution, security, and other services. Because .net applicatons are
managed by the CLR, they are called managed applications.
The Common Type System is a component of the CLR that ensures
that all .Net applications use the same basic data types regardless of
what programming languages were used to develop the applications.
10.
11. A Windows Forms application runs on the Windows Desktop
and can consist of one or more Windows forms. These forms
provide the graphical user interface (GUI) for the application.
Each Windows form can contain Windows Forms controls
like labels, text boxes, buttons and radio buttons. These
controls let the user interact with the application.
The main part of the Visual Studio IDE contains one more tabbed
windows. To develop a form, you use the Form Designer window.
And to develop code, you use the Code Editor window.
12. To add controls and other items to a form, you use the Toolbox. The
Toolbox contains a variety of items organized into categories such as
Data, Components, Windows Forms, and so on. There is an auto-hide
feature of the toolbox when the mouse pointer is moved outside the
toolbox window.
To change the way a form or control looks or operates, you use the
Properties window. The window displays the properties of the item
that’s selected in the Form Designer window.
13.
14. To add a control to a form, select the control in
the Toolbox. Then, click in the form where you
want to place the control and drag the pointer on
the form to size the control.
You can also add a control by double-clicking it or by
dragging and dropping it onto the form. If you double-
click on it, the control is placed in the upper left corner of
the form. If you drag it, it’s placed where you drop it.
Then, you can move and size the control.
15. To select a control on the form,
click on it. To move a control,
drag it. To size a selected
control, drag one of its handles.
To select a more than on
control, hold down the Shift
or Ctrl key as you click on
each control. You can also
select a group of controls by
clicking on a blank spot in
the form and then dragging
around the controls.
16. To align size, or space a group of selected controls, click on a control to make it
the Primary Control. (By default, the last control you select is the primary
control.) Then, use the commands in the Format menu or the buttons on the
Layout toolbar to align, size, or space the controls relative to the primary
control.
You can also size all of the control in a group by sizing the
primary control in the group. And you can drag any of the
selected controls to move all the controls.
To change the size of a form to accommodate the controls,
click on the form and then drag it by one of its handles.
17. You have a look in
the top right of the
Design Environment,
you’ll see the
Solution Explorer. (If
you can’t see it, click
View > Solution
Explorer)
The Solution Explorer
shows you all the files
you have been in your
project (Notice that the
name of your project is
at the top of the tree –
“My First Project”).
18. At first glance, it looks as though are
not many files in the project. But
click the Show All Files icon, circled
below:
When you click Show All Files, the
Solution Explorer will look something
like this:
When you save your project, you are
saving all these files.
19. To save your work, click File > Save All
and you’ll see the following dialogue box
(we’ve chopped ours down a bit):
The file are usually saved in the
My Document folder in XP
(Document folder in Vista),
under Vista Studio. If you want
to save your projects elsewhere,
click the Browse button.
To actually save your work as you go
along, just click File > Save All from
the menu bar. Or press Ctrl + Shift + S
on your keyboard. Or click the icon in
the Toolbar. If you save often then you
won’t lose any of your work if anything
goes wrong with your computer.
