Chapter 2 Your First VB.NET(1)

Your First VB.NET
源代码网推荐 Application
源代码网推荐 It’s time to jump in and start working with VB.NET. First, you
源代码网推荐 need to learn a little bit about the new IDE. The new VB.NET
源代码网推荐 IDE might look somewhat familiar to you, but there are some
源代码网推荐 significant changes that make it a more useful environment.
源代码网推荐 However, these changes can be frustrating to experienced VB
源代码网推荐 developers because many of the keystrokes have changed, win-dows
源代码网推荐 have different names, and the debugging tools work dif-ferently.
源代码网推荐 VB.NET is part of Visual Studio.NET (or VS.NET),
源代码网推荐 which finally consolidates all the development languages into
源代码网推荐 one place: VB.NET, C .NET, and C#. You can even create a
源代码网推荐 single solution, containing multiple projects, in which the indi-vidual
源代码网推荐 projects are written in separate languages.
源代码网推荐 The Start Page
源代码网推荐 The very first time you start Visual Studio.NET, you are taken
源代码网推荐 to a screen that allows you to configure the IDE. That screen
源代码网推荐 is the My Profile page discussed later in the chapter. After
源代码网推荐 your first visit to the My Profile page, all subsequent starts of
源代码网推荐 Visual Studio.NET begin with the Start Page, as shown in
源代码网推荐 Figure 2.1. The start page contains a number of sections, as
源代码网推荐 indicated by the links along the left side. These sections are
源代码网推荐 • Get Started—This option allows you to open a recent
源代码网推荐 or existing project, or create a new one. No recent
源代码网推荐 projects are listed on the Get Started area shown in
源代码网推荐 Figure 2.1. As you create projects in VB.NET, this area
源代码网推荐 will display the four most recently opened projects.
源代码网推荐 This area also contains links to open an existing
