applications, hope you enjoy it. If you have any notes about it,

please send them to [email protected] I will be happy to

The work with this tutorial started on 2009-JAN-04.

Select File->New Project

Select Windows Forms, and give a name to your first application, then press OK.

Your application contains one window… you can modify it visually without doing any

programming…

Put the mouse pointer over the small square on the corner, and drag the window’s corner and

see what happens … you are resizing the window very easily…

To test this window, you hit the play button… the play button runs your application, to stop the

application hit the stop button or close the application window…

You can test the window and see it behaves like many XP forms or Vista forms…


23

Now stop the application and search for Back color property from the list on the right…


24

Press the small arrow that appears, and select General as shown In the image above… then

select a color that you like.

Now search for the Text property and replace its value with anything you like …

Very easy… still one last thing… you should save the application. Just Hit the Save all icon from

the tool bar…and select save…
