First program using visual studio 2010

Hopefully you have already installed visual studio 2010. If you didn’t install yet, Install Visual Studio 2010 Step by Step.

So, let’s try to write our first program in visual studio 2010.

Step 1: Click Start -> Program -> Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 -> Microsoft Visual Studio 2010.

Step 2: If you open Visual Studio 2010 first time after installation in your computer. You will see the following screen. Select Visual C# Development Settings and click Start Visual Studio. We have selected Visual C# Development Settings because we will work with C#.

Step 3: After Clicking Start Visual Studio at previous steps you will see the following screen. Click File -> New -> Project..

Step 4: Select Console Application among the projects. Note that I have changed my project location and Project name. You can keep default location and name.

Default code snippet:

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Linq;

namespace MyFirstProgram

{

    {

        static void Main(string[] args)

        {

           

        }

    }

}

Add a simple statement in the Main Method:

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Linq;

    class Program

    {

        static void Main(string[] args)
