CUSTOMIZATION MODERATION
Visual Studio lets you move, dock, float, hide, auto-hide, and tabify windows.
It’s so flexible that it can present as many different faces as a politician during an
election year.
Feel free to customize the IDE to suit your needs, but if you do, keep in mind that your
version of Visual Studio may look nothing like the pictures in this book. To minimize
confusion, you may want to keep the IDE looking more or less like Figure 1-5, at least
until you get a better sense of which tools will be most useful to you.
TRY IT
In this Try It, you prepare for later work throughout the book. You locate web resources that you
can use when you have questions or run into trouble. You create and run a program, explore the
project’s folder hierarchy, and make a copy of the project. You also get a chance to experiment a bit
with the IDE, displaying new toolbars, moving windows around, and generally taking the IDE for a
test drive and kicking the tires.
