LESSON 1 GettinG Started with the ViSual Studio ide
FIGURE 13
The rest of this lesson deals with the features available in Visual
Studio, some of which are displayed in Figure 1-3. Before you launch
into an inventory of useful features, however, press F5 or open the
Debug menu and select Start Debugging to run your new program.
Figure 1-4 shows the result. Admittedly this first program isn’t very
fancy, but by the same token you didn’t need to do much to build it.
This first program may not seem terribly impressive but there’s a
lot going on behind the scenes. C# has built a form with a bunch
of useful features, including:
A resizable border and draggable title bar.
Minimize, maximize, and close buttons in the
upper-right corner.
A system menu in the upper-left corner that contains the commands Restore, Move, Size,
Minimize, Maximize, and Close.
An icon in the system taskbar.
The ability to use [Alt]+[Tab] and Flip3D ([Win]+[Tab]) to move between the application
and others.
Other standard window behaviors. For example, if you double-click the form’s title bar it
maximizes (or restores if it is already maximized), and if you press [Alt]+F4, the form closes.
