 C# is an object-oriented programming
language

 Meaning that its building blocks are objects


and classes.

 A class is a blueprint of an object


 An object is an instance of a class. We can get
many objects from one class

 Consider the class as a ‘Parent’ and the


object as a ‘child’. A parent can have many
children
 Objects from the same class have similar
attributes and methods.
 A console application is an application that
can be run in the command prompt in
Windows.

 In this first program,


◦ We are going to use Visual Studio to create a
console type project.
◦ Then use the console application to display a
message "Hello World".
◦ Then see how to build and run the console
application
 Step 1) The first step involves the creation of a new
project in Visual Studio. For that, once the Visual
Studio is launched, you need to choose the menu
option New->Project.
 Step 2) The next step is to choose the project type
as a Console application. Here, we also need to
mention the name and location of our project.

 Step 2) output.
◦ A project called 'DemoApplication' will be created in Visual
Studio. This project will contain all the necessary artifacts
required to run the Console application.
◦ The Main program called Program.cs is default code file
which is created when a new application is created in Visual
Studio. This code will contain the necessary code for our
console application.
 Step 3) Now let's write our code which will be
used to display the string "Hello World" in the
console application.
 Step 3) Code explanation.
 The first lines of code are default lines entered by
Visual Studio. The 'using' statement is used to
import existing .Net modules in our console
application. These modules are required for
any .Net application to run properly. They contain
the bare minimum code to make a code work on
a Windows machine.

 Every application belongs to a class. C# is an


object-oriented language, and hence, all code
needs to be defined in a self-sustaining module
called a 'Class.' In turn, every class belongs to a
namespace/project. A namespace/project is just
a logical grouping of classes.
 Step 3) Code explanation.
 The Main function is a special function which is
automatically called when a console application runs.
Here you need to ensure to enter the code required
to display the required string in the console
application.

 The Console class is available in .Net which allows


one to work with console applications. Here we are
using an inbuilt method called 'Write' to write the
string "Hello World" in the console.

 We then use the Console.ReadKey() method to read


any key from the console. By entering this line of
code, the program will wait and not exit immediately.
The program will wait for the user to enter any key
before finally exiting. If you don't include this
statement in code, the program will exit as soon as it
is run.
 Step 4) Run your .Net program. To run any
program, you need to click the Start button in
Visual Studio.
 From the output, you can clearly see that the
string "Hello World" is displayed properly.
This is because of the Console.write
statement causes this string to be sent to the
console.
