✅ Visual Studio Projects

Hello! I want to start over with programming my first application and I already run in some troubles. Basically every Tutorial on YouTube, which shows me how to create a project, is so different in terms of the visual studio version they use. I just can't figure out how to start. Hopefully someone can show me the basics, which are necassary to create a project. 😄

Different how?

Sebbl•2mo ago

Basically they always get the screen where they can choose what they want to do. Create project, etc.

Angius•2mo ago

Could it be the tutorial has something like

class Program
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        //...code
    }
}

class Program
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        //...code
    }
}

while yours has

//...code

//...code

When I open the Visual Studio I'm already in the editor

Angius•2mo ago

Ah Is it Visual Studio? Or Visual Studio Code?

Sebbl•2mo ago

this one

Angius•2mo ago

They are different

Sebbl•2mo ago

🤯 So I guess I need the first one, you said?

Angius•2mo ago

Yes Visual Studio 2022 Community is what you want It's better for learning too, VS Code can be... temperametal, and needs a lot of tinkering to make it usable

It took me like 3 hours to create a project for coding some stuff in the console -.- searching through the internet like hours xD

Angius•2mo ago

For reference, making a project in VS Code is not hard either

mkdir MyProject
cd MyProject
dotnet new console
code .

mkdir MyProject
cd MyProject
dotnet new console
code .

while with visual studio its mostly with a visual wizard imo vs code requires u to be a more curious and problem solving person

I'm ready now. I'm installing Visual Studio now. I'm so ready But the thing is, i was looking for 'visual studio code frame application project' and the only thing I see is stuff from this

Angius•2mo ago

Maybe Google got confused by "frame application project" because I never heard those words in this order

leowest•2mo ago

even I am confused by code frame

Sebbl•2mo ago

Maybe my translation is rigged, English isn't my main language

leowest•2mo ago

and what is it in your language?

Sebbl•2mo ago

🙂

leowest•2mo ago

maybe we can try to make sense of it

Sebbl•2mo ago

German

leowest•2mo ago

ok but i mean the text in your language

Angius•2mo ago

I guess "framework" was translated to "code frame"...?

Sebbl•2mo ago

Create your First C# .NET Windows forms application is most like the title. So i took forms application and put project behind. cause i wanted to know how to create a project

leowest•2mo ago

this is for your self or school? if its for your self while winforms is indeed easy I would strongly advise u to learn WPF or Avalonia instead there is more value to the later 2

Sebbl•2mo ago

Nah not for school. I'm interested in learning this language.

leowest•2mo ago

but either way before u jump into ui its better you learn the language with console otherwise u will be very lost

Angius•2mo ago

Starting your C# adventure with a Winforms project will quickly make you look for different adventures

Sebbl•2mo ago

😂

Angius•2mo ago

Any GUI project, really They're complex beasts Even more so for someone who hasn't learned what an object or a lambda are

leowest•2mo ago

its like the old saying u have to learn how to walk before u run

Sebbl•2mo ago

I want to try it. I worked on a simple ui with java swing for like 3 weeks. It was hard, but it was fun. I had no knowledge about swing back then. I only did other stuff in java mh :/ you guys make me confused 😂

leowest•2mo ago

it just means u have to start from the start... starting by learning winforms is not simple without the fundamental learning of the language

Sebbl•2mo ago

Whatever decision I will take, it's good to know that I need a other programm to startover 🙂

leowest•2mo ago

at the very least know all of what is taught in these videos very well https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/shows/csharp-fundamentals-for-absolute-beginners/

C# Fundamentals for Absolute Beginners

Learn C# programming from an expert in the industry. Get the tools, see how to write code, debug features, explore customizations, and more. For newer videos head over to dot.net/videos

Sebbl•2mo ago

So I should start playing around in the console?

leowest•2mo ago

yes you learn by using console then u do some projects in console then u start climbing up by doing projects u see how well you're understanding everything being taught to u programming is a lot of repetition and making things click

Sebbl•2mo ago

The only thing 'project' I've done so far in c#, was a higher/lower game in console. It has a few parallels to java. But I get your point Alright I'm really thankful that you guys helped me out. I don't know how to close the "ticket" here in the help forum. I guess we will stay in contact here on the discord 🙂
