Introduction to the Visual Studio 2010

What you Learn in this chapter?

Visual Studio 2010

.Net Framework

[4.0] software development platform

Support several programming languages:

C# ,VB, C++,F#

Common Language Runtime (CLR)

Include NET Framework Class Library(FCL)

create application will run in the NET CLR

Why

C# ?

Evolution of the C & C++ languages

Incorporate the best features from other languages & Clearing up their problems

Syntax is simple Directly accessing & manipulating system memory

Windows Application

Operating system

CPU & other hardware

.NET libraries

1 Write source code c# and saved file with .cs extension

2 C# compiler=> Compile source code to an intermediate language (MSIL)

3 MSIL is contained in an assembly(.exe or .dll extension)

4 Can use source code or reference NET framework libraries

5 CLR runs on top of host operating system

6 CLR loads assembly & uses JIT compiler to translate MSIL to native machine code

7 Load NET libraries if need

8 MSIL code can execute on any CPUs if CPU is supported by CLR

Powerful, professional Integrated Development

Environment (IDE)

Integrated compiler, debugger,

Other useful tool…

Solutions and Projects group the items needed

to create a program or application:

 A Solution can contain one or more Project

 A Project represents a particular part of a

solution

 A Project contains source code file, settings &

resource for application

 A Project can contain Class Reference libraries

 Etc…
