Creating a Project
After you open Visual Studio, you can use the Start Page’s Create Project link or the File menu’s New Proj-
ect command to open the New Project dialog shown in Figure 1-3. Use the Project Types tree view on the
left to select the project category that you want. Then select a specific project type on the right. In Figure 1-3 ,
the Windows Forms Application project type is selected. Enter a name for the new project in the text box
below, and click OK.
Figure 1-3: The New Project dialog lets you start a new project.
Figure 1-4 shows the IDE immediately after starting a new Windows Forms Application project.
Remember that the IDE is extremely configurable, so it may not look much like Figure 1-4 after you
have rearranged things to your liking.
