How do I start?

[Mr. Ed]

Firstly I have downloaded the .NET FRAMWORK and the .NET SDK tools and etc.
Am I correct in thinking this would enable me to create GUI'd apps without
VSC++? are there are sites for beginners on this, the usual code-project and
stuff isn't helpful.

Thanks.

don't know if the compilers are part of the SDK tools but I wouldn't think
so.
If not, there is an open source C# implementation somewhere that you can
use.

csc.exe should be in the SDK. If so, look at the MSDN topic "Building from
the Command Line" in the Visual C# docs on the web.

Hello Ed,

Thanks for your post. Phil is correct that the C# compiler (csc.exe) is
shipped with .NET Framework which can build C# WinForm application. The
following article demonstrates using csc.exe to build a C# WinForm
application:

Creating Your First WinForm Using C#
http://www.c-sharpcenter.com/winforms/WinForm.htm

In the meantime, I strongly recommend you use Visual Studio .NET which
provides an powerful integrited development environment.

Hope this helps.

A couple of other suggestions if you prefer to use an IDE but don't
want to (or can't) pay for them.

Borland has a personal version of their C#Builder product, which you
can download from

http://www.borland.com/products/down...rpbuilder.html

or

http://tinyurl.com/oltt

Be warned. The licence of the download edition prohibits apps being
used for commercial purposes. However, they do have a version (same
product, different license) which can be purchased (IIRC, USD 69) and
used for commercial development.

Another one is SharpDevelop which you can get from

[Mr. Ed]

actually, considering how much C# is being talked about, I might as well
learn it. Thanks.

Hello Ed,

Thanks for your update. Based on my experience, the C++ compiler (cl.exe)
is not shipped with .NET SDK. In addition, compiling C/C++ programs also
requires the C runtime header files which are not contained in .NET SDK.
So, I recommend you use C# as in this case.

Please feel free to let me know if you have any problems or concerns.

Have a nice day!
