After we complete all these steps we have our first console application named

IntroToCSharp and containing a single class HelloCSharp (stored in the file


HelloCSharp.cs):

All we have to do is add code to the Main() method. By default, the


HelloCSharp.cs code should be loaded and ready for editing. If it is not, we
double click on the HelloCSharp.cs file in the Solution Explorer to load it. We
enter the following source code:

Compiling the Source Code


The compiling process in Visual Studio includes several steps:
- Syntax error check;

- A check for other errors, like missing libraries;


- Converting the C# code into an executable file (a .NET assembly). For
console applications it is an .exe file.
To compile a file in Visual Studio, we press the [F6] key or [Shift+Ctrl+B].
while we are still writing or when compiling, at the latest. They are listed in
the "Error List" window if it is visible (if it is not, we can show it from the
"View" menu of Visual Studio).
If our project has at least one error, it will be marked with a small red " x" in
the "Error List" window. Short info about the problem is displayed for each
error filename, line number and project name. If we double click any of the
errors in the "Error List", Visual Studio will automatically take us to the file
and line of code where the error has occurred. In the screenshot above the

Starting the Project


To start the project, we press [Ctrl+F5] (holding the [Ctrl] key pressed and
at the same time pressing the [F5] key).
The program will start and the result will be displayed on the console,
followed by the "Press any key to continue . . ." message:
