How to create, save, and run a Console Application in Visual Studio 2008
Visual Studio 2008 is a powerful IDE (Integrated Development Environment) based on the .NET Framework, which is used to develop various types of applications.
Creating Console and Windows Applications on Visual Studio 2008 .NET Framework is a simple process.
A console application is suitable for a text-based interface, while a window application provides a user-friendly graphical interface.
By following these steps, you can create your first .NET application and run it successfully.

Here we will explain in detail the process of creating, saving, and running a console application and a window application.

What is a console application?

A console application is an application that runs on a command-line interface (CLI). It mainly uses text-based input and output.

Creating, saving, and running a console application

Step 1: Open Visual Studio 2008

Open Visual Studio 2008 on your computer.
Go to the "File" menu and click on "New". Then choose the "Project" option.

Step 2: Create a new project

In the "New Project" dialog box, choose the "Visual C#" or "Visual Basic" option (based on your language preference).
Choose the "Console Application" template.
In the "Name" box, write the name of your project (e.g., MyFirstConsoleApp).
Under "Location", choose the folder where you want to save the project.
Click "OK".

Step 3: Write the code

Visual Studio will open a file (Program.cs or Module1.vb) for your new Console Application project.

The code for a simple "Hello World" program is given below:
C#:

using System;

class Program

{

static void Main(string[] args)

{

Console.WriteLine("Hello World!");

Console.ReadLine(); // This line stops to let the user see the output

}

VB.NET:

Module Module1

Sub Main()

Console.WriteLine("Hello World!")

Console.ReadLine() ' This line stops the output screen

End Sub

End Module

Step 4: Save the project

Go to the "File" menu and choose the "Save All" option.
Give a name to the project and save it in your preferred location.

Step 5: Run the project

To run the project, go to the "Debug" menu and choose the "Start Without Debugging" (Ctrl+F5) option.
The console screen will open and the output will be shown.

Output:

Hello World!

The screen will be held until you press any keyboard button.
How to create, save, and run a Windows Application

What is a Windows Application in .NET in Hindi | What is a Windows Application?

A Windows Application is an application that uses a GUI (Graphical User Interface).
It has buttons, text boxes, and other visual elements.

Creating, saving, and running a Windows Application:

Step 1: Open Visual Studio 2008

Open Visual Studio 2008.
From the "File" menu, choose the "New" and then "Project" option.

Step 2: Create a new project

In the "New Project" dialog box, choose "Windows Forms Application".
In the "Name" box, write the name of your project (e.g., MyFirstWindowsApp).
Click "OK".

Step 3: Design the GUI

A blank window will be shown in the Form Designer of Visual Studio.
Drag controls like buttons or text boxes from the "Toolbox" panel and drop them onto the window.
Use the "Properties" window to set the properties of each control.

Step 4: Write the code

Double-click on a button from the design view. This will open its Click event code in the window.

Example code:

C#:

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

MessageBox.Show("Hello, this is my first Windows application!");

}

VB.NET:

Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

MessageBox.Show("Hello, this is my first Windows application!")

End Sub

Step 5: Save and run the project

Go to the "File" menu and choose "Save All".
To run the project, click on "Start Debugging" (F5).
The application will launch and you can run it.
