What is Computer
Programming?
Define: Computer Programming
Computer programming: creating a
sequence of instructions to enable the
computer to do something
Definition by Google
4
Programming Phases
 Define a task/problem
 Plan your solution
 Find suitable algorithm to solve it
 Find suitable data structures to use
 Write code
 Fix program error (bugs)
 Make your customer happy

= Design
= Implementation
=Testing & Debugging
= Deployment
5
Your First C# Program
First Look at C#
Sample C# program:
using System;
class HelloCSharp
{
static void Main()
{
Console.WriteLine("Hello, C#");
}
}
7
C# Code – How It Works?
using System;
class HelloCSharp
{
static void Main()
{
Console.WriteLine("Hello, C#");
}
}
Include the standard
namespace "System"
Define a class called
"HelloCSharp"
Define the Main()
method – the
program entry point
Print a text on the console by
calling the method "WriteLine"
of the class "Console"
8
C# Code Should BeWell Formatted
using System;
class HelloCSharp
{
static void Main()
{
Console.WriteLine("Hello, C#");
}
}
The { symbol should
be alone on a new line.
The block after the
{ symbol should be
indented by a TAB.
The } symbol should
be under the
corresponding {.
Class names should use PascalCase
and start with a CAPITAL letter.
9
Example of Bad Formatting
using
System
;
class HelloCSharp {
static
void Main( ) { Console
. WriteLine ("Hello, C#" ) ;Console.
WriteLine ( "Hello again"
) ;}}
Such formatting
makes the source
code unreadable.
10
What is "C#"?
 Programming language
 A syntax that allow to give instructions to the
computer
 C# features:
 New cutting edge language
 Extremely powerful
 Easy to learn
 Easy to read and understand
 Object-oriented
11
WhatYou Need to Program?
 Knowledge of a programming language
 C#
 Task to solve
 Development environment, compilers, SDK
 Visual Studio, .NET Framework SDK
 Set of useful standard classes
 Microsoft .NET Framework FCL
 Help documentation
 MSDN Library
12

What is .NET
Framework?
What is .NET Framework?
 Environment for execution of .NET programs
 Powerful library of classes
 Programming model
 Common execution engine for many
programming languages
 C#
 Visual Basic .NET
 Managed C++
 ... and many others
15
Operating System (OS)
Common Language Runtime (CLR)
Base Class Library (BCL)
ADO.NET, LINQ and XML (DataTier)
WCF and WWF (Communication and WorkflowTier)
ASP.NET
Web Forms, MVC, AJAX
Mobile InternetToolkit
Windows
Forms
WPF Silverlight
C# C++ VB.NET J# F# JScript Perl Delphi …
Inside .NET Framework
 Building blocks of .NET Framework
FCL
CLR
16
CLR –The Heart of .NET
Framework
 Common Language Runtime (CLR)
 Managed execution environment
 Executes .NET applications
 Controls the execution process
 Automatic memory management (garbage
collection)
 Programming languages integration
 Multiple versions support for assemblies
 Integrated type safety and security
CLR
17
Framework Class Library
 Framework Class Library (FCL)
 Provides basic functionality to developers:
 Console applications
 WPF and Silverlight rich-media applications
 Windows Forms GUI applications
 Web applications (dynamic Web sites)
 Web services, communication and workflow
 Server & desktop applications
 Applications for mobile devices
18
What isVisual Studio?
Visual Studio
 Visual Studio – Integrated Development
Environment (IDE)
 Development tool that helps us to:
 Write code
 Design user interface
 Compile code
 Execute / test / debug applications
 Browse the help
 Manage project's files
20
Benefits ofVisual Studio
 Single tool for:
 Writing code in many languages (C#,VB, …)
 Using different technologies (Web,WPF, …)
 For different platforms (.NET CF, Silverlight, …)
 Full integration of most development activities
(coding, compiling, testing, debugging,
deployment, version control, ...)
 Very easy to use!
21
Visual Studio – Example
22
Visual Studio
Compiling, Running and Debugging C# Programs
Creating New Console Application
1. File  New  Project ...
2. Choose C# console application
3. Choose project directory and name
24
Creating New Console Application (2)
4. Visual Studio creates some source code for you
Namespace
not required
Class name
should be
changed
Some imports
are not required
25
Compiling Source Code
 The process of compiling includes:
 Syntactic checks
 Type safety checks
 Translation of the source code to lower level
language (MSIL)
 Creating of executable files (assemblies)
 You can start compilation by
 Using Build->Build Solution/Project
 Pressing [F6] or [Shift+Ctrl+B]
26
Running Programs
 The process of running application includes:
 Compiling (if project not compiled)
 Starting the application
 You can run application by:
 Using Debug->Start menu
 By pressing [F5] or [Ctrl+F5]
* NOTE: Not all types of projects are able to be
started!
27
DebuggingThe Code
 The process of debugging
application includes:
 Spotting an error
 Finding the lines of code that
cause the error
 Fixing the code
 Testing to check if the error is
gone and no errors are introduced
 Iterative and continuous process
28
Debugging inVisual Studio
 Visual Studio has built-in debugger
 It provides:
 Breakpoints
 Ability to trace the code execution
 Ability to inspect variables at runtime
29
Visual Studio

Visual Studio
Blank Solution
Creating a Solution
Without Projects
What Is a Blank Solution?
 AVisual Studio blank solution
 Solution with no projects in it
 Projects to be added later
 What is the point?
 Not making a project just to give proper name
 And not working in this project
VS Blank Solution
