Thread: Windows C# with me coding...

Hey,

I just got sent Visual Studio .NET beta 2 from ms free, and it kicks. I have learnt alot of console c# but i just tried a windows app, and saw that its all visually designed like vb.

Is it possible for me to just right the win32 code in a .cs file then compile it with the command promt e.g csc win32.cs like i can with dos apps?

Also i cant see to find any resources for learning windows c# can anyone reccomend anywhere?

Thanks alot
TNT

It's all fairly simple stuff, I do it by hand. You can just click view->view code and type all thew code up there, or just type it all up in trusty notepad like me. Try this, and I think you'll get the hang of it. Any questions just ask:

Code:

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Drawing;

class MainForm : Form
{
	public TextBox tbox = new TextBox();
	
	public MainForm()
	{
		Button butt = new Button();
  	
		tbox.Location = new Point(10,10);
		this.Controls.Add(tbox);
	  	
		butt.Location=new Point(tbox.Left+tbox.Width+20,10);
		butt.Size=new Size(150,24);
		butt.Text="Ok";
		butt.Click += new System.EventHandler(this.ButtClick); 
		this.Controls.Add(butt);
  	
		Text = "Cool Stuff";
	}
	protected void ButtClick(object sender, System.EventArgs e) 
	{
		MessageBox.Show(tbox.Text,"You typed",MessageBoxButtons.OK); 
	}
  
	public static void Main()
	{
		Application.Run(new MainForm());
	}
}

I think you need a MSDN subsription to download, but you can order the CD/DVD's for the cost of p&p here

I got mine in the september issue of MSDN magazine that I picked up @ compUSA. you can always check some places and see if they have september back issues of it.
